I received a 7" S. subspinipes last week. It is my first pede. While initially very active now it is very lethargic--laying in one place with only the very tips of its antennae moving on occasion. I tried to feed it crickets Sunday and it showed no interest in them whatsoever. I've tried to up the humidity by making the substrate fairly damp (but not flooded) and have it in a warm place. Is it sick? In premolt? Just chillin'? Thanks.

don't have much exp with pedes but, i know in the past my T's will need a little time to acclimate before it will even think about eating. it just chills for a couple of weeks. After it's comfortable with it's new surroundings then it eats. Maybe your pede just needs to acclimate a little more.

I'd guess it's ill unless you're expecting it to eat crickets every day. Older centipedes can go weeks or months without feeding but really shouldn't be lethargic. If it is nearing a molt the exoskeleton should have a gray, cloudy look.

Ahhhh....the exoskeleton does have somewhat of a cloudy, gray look to it. Anyone have an image of this that I can use to compare?
