Centipedes are both fascinating and horrifying. 6_9 But I would never own one. XD

Having it on my foot certainly cured my curiosity as to what an 8" centipede would feel like crawling on my skin XD

I'd imagine. :D

lucky

Poor lil roachy guy~



I'm watching Inu Yasha right now (i am a dork, lemme alone X3) and they have several "centipede demons"... none are quite as awesome, or frightening, as the real thing. :o

Their movement is crazy. I remember watching some experiments where they were able to show that like only four of their feet are in contact with the ground at any one point while moving.

Wow, that's pretty fascinating. 8D I hope it's not morbid to enjoy watching animals eat. >> Everybody's got to do it. Since my snakes just take everything all in at once, I've never really owned a pet that takes its food apart, and that looks like it would be a neat show. x3 And that cockroach is beautiful. <3 I think once you own an animal as a pet it becomes slightly less generically horrifying, but I'm not sure about bugs. I know when one of my snakes got out of his tank and showed up in my closet (I was reaching for some note cards and instead found a very happy corn snake XD ) I wasn't scared or unhappy like I might be if I found a random snake in my closet. But bugs are pretty creepy-crawly, no matter how much you love them. >>

Cockroach = centipede. XD Well, the cockroach WAS beautiful, but I think now it isn't too worried about what it looks like.

*shudder shudder shudder*
Oh gods.....I think I would have cried, darling, if I found that on my feet.

Bluuughghghash. Even just thinking about it makes me just....erg.

However, it looks like your crawly pile of legs is doing well. ^__^

I can find a baby black widow crawling up my arm, and have roaches run over my feet, and wake up to find i'm sharing my bed with several tiny spiders, and pick up a scorpion, but if I find a two inch centipede I regress into fetal position in the corner, atop a counter.

if this thing ran across my feet, they'd probably still be prising me off the ceiling

It's cuuuute. *_____* Lookit all those cute li'l leggies~

heh, is understandable, I'd be creeped out too XD

He's got lots of hugs for everyone

I used to handle my giant amazonian; Vergall; he was very calm actually but you have to make sure they are well fed when you do so. He did have a habit of nibbling akatastinglol but that didn't bother me much.
I just freaking love centipedes fffff
