Centipedes for Sale
Scolopendra and other centipedes from the keepers who breed them.
Centipedes are the hobby's advanced class: fast, venomous, escape-prone and absolutely fascinating. The giant desert centipede (Scolopendra heros), the widespread Scolopendra polymorpha, the small eastern Hemiscolopendra marginata and tropical Rhysida andEthmostigmus species are all kept and bred in the US, and the keepers here sell pedelings, juveniles and adults.
Buy a centipede with your enclosure already set up: a secure, clip-lidded tub with several inches of moist substrate and a hide, and long tongs for maintenance. Centipedes should never be handled. Listings should state the species, approximate body length and whether the animal is captive-bred or wild-caught; captive-bred pedelings from US breeders are the responsible choice.
Centipedes ship overnight in secure, ventilated containers with padding and the right thermal pack for the weather. Because individual species vary in temperament and heat tolerance, read the seller's shipping policy and live arrival guarantee before you bid. The sellers below are the ones in the directory keeping centipedes right now.

Centipedes FAQ
Are centipedes dangerous?
Scolopendra species deliver a painful venomous bite. They are kept as display animals only, with secure enclosures and tongs — never handled.
What is the best centipede for a first-time keeper?
Smaller, calmer species such as Scolopendra polymorpha or Hemiscolopendra marginata are the usual first steps; large tropical species are for experienced keepers.
How are centipedes shipped?
Overnight, in a secure ventilated vial or deli cup inside an insulated box, with a heat or cold pack as the forecast requires. Be home for delivery to keep the live arrival guarantee.
