Those are some of the chillest centipedes I've ever seen. And wild on top of that!
Its because its cold theyre literally chilled
I wonder if anyone tried to keep these communally since in the wild seem to be un bothered by each other presence but great videos underrated channel
I am puzzled by the discrepancy between S. polymorpha's behavior in the wild and in captivity. In captivity, it is well known that this species will quickly cannibalize if put in the same enclosure, while in the wild, great numbers of them can be found under the same cover (as shown in the video). That being said, I have observed cannibalism in this species in the wild once before. Thank you.
At the end of the day, a glass box, no matter how spacious or naturalistic, is not equal to the environment given to an animal in nature. Many species behave drastically different in the wild than in captivity, and a similar case of "social" species turning hostile in captivity can be seen in texas banded geckos, coleonyx brevis. I tried keeping 3 of them in a large, bioactive enclosure, and while they're Peaceful towards eachother in nature, one became dominant and the others died due to stress. Of course centipedes are different than geckos, but I think a similar explanation can be applied to both instances.
@@GeneralApathy just curious I’m gonna go look for some out her in cali also if u don’t mind what part of Cali were u finding these at?
Love this so much, love that its so close to home and its just normal exploring of bugs. Under appreciated honestly.
In the early 80s as a child in Northern Califfornia, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada I lifted up a rock and found a tiger centipede that was monstrous. It's body was at least half and inch thick. I put it in a mason jar that it could rear its head a couple inches out of.
I put a Jerusalem cricket in there that bit it in half.
I wonder how you capture them with ease with your hands , centipedes in India ( where I’m from ) are extremely aggressive and fast
It really depends on the circumstances. Here they were quite lethargic due to the cold, so a bite was quite unlikely. When the weather is warmer I get bitten much more often.
@@GeneralApathy oh thanks for the info man , btw I subbed and liked, 👍 looking forward to more from you,
but you guys have the most beautiful centipedes, scolopendra hardwickei
You must have Bette Davis eyes.
Nice one. Thanks for the video, noble General.
How ever that golf ball got under that rock is gonna bug the shit outa me
do more centipede hunting pls
Part II coming this Sunday. :)
Holy carp, I would really love to find one of those here in Mexico, but sadly I haven't encountered a single one in the nearby similar areas :(
I'm so glad I saw this video. I saw an S. polymorpha today and wanted to handle it but wasn't sure how safe it may be. This puts me at ease for the next I come across one. Great content.
Thank you! Although, I do not encourage people to handle venomous animals. You may have an allergic reaction, so always be prepared for that.
You must be crazy those lil buggahs will fu(k up your day
@@scottyfrederick4981Yes they will! However it's pretty rare to be bit.
The wild is truly beautiful
some may look like creepy and scary looking beasts but
they seem pretty cool and interesting including if there poisonous or venomous,
i just don’t understand why people just kill insects when there minding their own business
On a scale of 1-10, how bad did that bite hurt? And again, on a scale of 1-10, how was the after pain from the venom?
2 and 3.
interesting to observe the smaller one is living in the same space as the larger one without being eaten. probably because its winter?
I've observed cannibalism in this species once before in early Spring. I think you are correct; since it is winter, they have a much lower metabolism. Incidentally, they are seldom found under rocks during Summer and Autumn, so they probably encounter each other most while active: during Spring (when they can be flipped and found at night).
@@GeneralApathy haha if I were to try and house my centipedes together they would kill each other. where i am from, Australia, there are a few interesting native centipedes the ethmostigmous rubripes. also known as the tiger centipedes :)
Super, they didn't bite or this species is more docile?
Dang how did you find so many I’d never think those would be around in nor cal
You just have to be in the right place at the right time of year.
I want centipedes and I found a really pretty pink one that was half an inch.
Do you think it was a Lithobiomorph?
nice video, do more
Thank you, I will.
What is the temperature there? These guys can stay in a pretty dry area, looks like.
I have one Q
why them don't bite you???
how tf do you touch them this much without biting you? I tried handling a centipede and it bit me before I even tried to pick it up.
Lucky you I’d kill to live in your area
A lot of driving, but yes, a lot to see out here.
@@GeneralApathy I Subscribed I expect more of this Amazing content 😂
@@frankdughtank8327 Thank you so much, there will be more. :)
Will you respond to comments?
i dont mind seeing people handle anything but something about handling centipedes triggers me on so many levels,
in my area you can find big centipedes (Scolopendra cingulata) that are insanely aggressive, to the point that if they detect slightest movement they just go all out on it.
Were do you think I could find some polymorpha's in the bay area?
Any grassland with loose rocks should have S. polymorpha. It's just a matter of searching.
I’ve. Been told that the Maui centipede’s can only climb up and not down is this true or a wives tale
That is definitely not true.
I currently live in Sacramento ca but used to live in Vallejo CA. What city exactly are you at as I would love to keep a centipede or 2 as pets. Thank you in advance.
I live in the Bay Area, but I find centipedes practically everywhere I go. This video was shot hours from where I live.
@@GeneralApathy thank you sir.
ANYBODY KNOW THE TYPE OF PINK ISOPOD AT 3:02?
Aye you don't mind getting bit? I know their venom isn't potent, but still lol
I have a very dark morph for a pet.
I like to move them from underneath the rocks to avoid crushing them, so I'm very used to getting bitten at this point. It isn't too bad.
@@GeneralApathy I'm not quite there with my fear yet hahaha one day I hope!
@@aoconnor2933 It will probably take a bite or two to get there.
Are the Blue color is just a mutation?
My Tiger Centipede layed eggs lol
Just a variation in this population. Hopefully she does not eat her eggs (as they often do).
@@GeneralApathy she ate it as I expected its my fault coz she didnt eat for 3 days coz I got no food to find due to no supply from a pet store I usually visit
@@marknoelmarcelino4437 Sorry to hear. Better luck next time.
@@GeneralApathy Thanks but...I think there will be no next unless if she is a Parthenogenetic lol
@@marknoelmarcelino4437 They can lay another clutch fertilized by the same sperm from the last clutch. I've heard that they are able to do this a couple times.
eeeh don't you get bite or what (Edit: Ah just saw x)) you may be immune now haha? I use to kill them when they're in my house :/. I have a different look now
No, unfortunately, I am not immune. The legitimacy of built immunity is highly questionable. Glad you had a change of heart with centipedes. :)
You are cryzy!omg😱😱😱
Are those less painful then the red legged Hawaiian centipede? Or are you some kind of X-Man that can withstand massive pain from a mutation? Let one bite your satchel in a video that will go viral and you will be world famous!!!
Bites from S. polymorpha are much less painful than that of S. subspinipes.
So these big red legged bastards hurt more then the blue tiger motherfu(er’s?
where do u find these
I find S. polymorpha in many locations. The ones in this video were found in Solano County, CA.
@@GeneralApathy thank you for telling me :)
@@GeneralApathy i live in irvine so can i find any there?
@@g47noob8 Yes, you can.
@@GeneralApathy but like can i find tiger centipedes cause i know i cn find house ones
