Description

Cormocephalus westwoodi, commonly known as Westwood's Green Centipede, is an impressive predatory centipede with an elongated, segmented body and the fast-moving behaviour characteristic of large centipedes.

An interesting addition to a specialist invertebrate collection, C. westwoodi is best suited to experienced keepers who understand the secure housing and careful handling requirements associated with centipedes.

Key Features

  • Scientific name: Cormocephalus westwoodi
  • Common name: Westwood's Green Centipede
  • Predatory terrestrial centipede
  • Active and fascinating invertebrate
  • Excellent display species for specialist collections
  • Requires a secure, escape-resistant enclosure
  • Best suited to experienced invertebrate keepers
  • Should be housed individually
  • Provide suitable hiding areas and substrate
  • Carnivorous species

Housing

A secure enclosure is particularly important when keeping Cormocephalus westwoodi. Centipedes are capable climbers and can take advantage of surprisingly small gaps, so the enclosure should have a secure-fitting lid and no accessible escape points.

Provide sufficient substrate along with suitable hides such as cork bark or other appropriate cover. This gives the centipede somewhere dark and sheltered to retreat during the day.

Good ventilation is also important while maintaining conditions appropriate for the animal.

Feeding

Cormocephalus westwoodi is a predatory carnivore. Appropriately sized live invertebrate prey can be offered, with uneaten prey removed where necessary.

Fresh water should also be available in an appropriately sized shallow water dish.

Important Handling Information

Centipedes should not be handled with bare hands.

Large centipedes are fast, defensive predators capable of delivering a painful venomous bite. Appropriate tools and secure procedures should be used when feeding, cleaning or transferring the animal.

This species is therefore recommended for experienced invertebrate keepers rather than beginners or children.

Suitable For

  • Experienced centipede keepers
  • Invertebrate enthusiasts
  • Specialist terrestrial invertebrate displays
  • Keepers able to provide a secure escape-resistant enclosure
