As a general rule, the enclosure should be at least twice as long as the centipede; and it is recommended that the enclosure also be taller than the centipede is long, to help prevent it from darting out the top when the lid is opened.
As the bite from this Centipede is reportedly very painful, and because some people may have allergic reactions to the venom, it is wise to take precaution around these animals and never handle them without protection.
