They are highly sought-after as pets. Many people are now keeping various centipedes and millipedes as pets, along with various kinds of tarantulas, trap-door spiders, and emperor scorpions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24684487.post-39433563376477583572007-03-18T22:26:00.000-05:002007-03-18T22:26:00.000-05:00Fun huh?Fun huh?TheyDHDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07061400603520745994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24684487.post-6646883770799822362007-03-18T20:06:00.000-05:002007-03-18T20:06:00.000-05:00That was the creepiest looking bug ever!

Keep them. When I lived in the basement, we had a ton of them. They really do eat anything buggy that they find, and they can MOVE... like, from one end of a wall to the other in under a minute. They're fast enough to catch flies and moths, and other such critters that destroy foodstuffs and other goods. <BR/><BR/>We've had 'em in Mom's house for two decades and none of us have ever been bitten. I'd love to see them down here, but they're rare at best here. Probably less to eat than in a somewhat leaky basement. They're more than fast enough to get the hell out of your way, and they don't like movement (for example, if you shift position enough in bed to so much as twitch the covers), so they stay away from high-traffic areas. The only reason you saw it in the tub is because it fell in and couldn't get back out again.<BR/><BR/>If you're lucky enough, you might see one on the hunt, and I've watched one grab a moth. It's really spiffy, and very educational for the little bits... as well as being much cheaper than a safari.<BR/><BR/>I say keep 'em. They're one of the coolest bugs around.<BR/><BR/>-Irish Mike.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24684487.post-9283974039780827662007-03-15T23:50:00.000-05:002007-03-15T23:50:00.000-05:00Lovelife, the bug has been released in a nice new ...Lovelife, the bug has been released in a nice new home, not to worry. :D Tell storm if he wants to dig that thing up with the backhoe when he gets it there, I'd be happy to take it then as much as I am happy to take it now. *grin* Less work is good, right? <BR/><BR/>Andrea, you may have to move quite a ways to escape it. It is all over the US now, and due to global warming, is likely on it's merry way into Canada by now.
