Scolopendra Aztecorum simplified care sheet by @bugbiologicalsLLC 

NOTE: This care sheet is for older juveniles to adults. Younger pedelings can follow the same care sheet, but should be kept in a more moist environment. 

A Neo-Tropical Desert giant Centipede species, Scolopendra Aztecorum is somewhat “heat tolerable to an extent” and should be kept on the “dryer” side to prevent mycosis. Keep enclosure dry with one side moist. (spray one corner of enclosure weekly) Always provide a water bowl as Centipedes drink water when they’re feeling dehydrated.
