Its special feathery tail feet (also called trolling feet, which are sensory organs) are brightly colored and peculiar. Hence another name was born: Rattle Centipede. Feeding method, use a rectangular transparent plastic box with good airtightness, tie a few small ventilation holes, and use wet soil (small particles) for reptiles as the substrate with a little fine sand. Because of its habit of drilling soil, the thickness of the substrate is To be more than 3 cm. The suitable temperature is 24~28℃, and the suitable humidity is 70%~80%. The feather-tailed centipede needs high humidity, and it will also feed on the water droplets splashed on the four walls when spraying water. The larval growth stage should be fed once every 2 to 3 days, and the food is small insects, small bees, mealworms, mealworm pupae, needle crickets, etc.; the adult stage should be fed once a week, and the food should be varied. After eating, take out food residues in time to avoid rapid corruption and pollution of the environment under high temperature and high humidity conditions.
