No no no no
Interesting creature though
Edit: Here's one in habitat near Tokyo, moves faster than I'm comfortable with.

My brain is like 'too big to be real'/'looks plastic'
Yet it lives.
I like these sort of vids where it gives a real sense of scale.

Just reading about these in the Vietnam tunnel rat stories freaked me out.
No way I'm watching that. And to think I used to have an insect collection as a kid.

Those 'tunnel rat' stories are really intense.

Fuuuuuuuu.......
I'm a biologist and I've kept a bunch of exotic inverts including all kinds of spiders and scorpions and these are the one thing I really *really* don't like. They are so fast and so nasty and their bites are supposed to be extraordinarily painful. I've heard so many horror stories of them getting out and I know professional breeders and dealers who won't keep them. This is just, nope city.

That's worrying that even dealers won't touch them.
I've seen some videos from Vietnam with similar species and wondered if they would be useful to remove cockroaches, spiders etc.

But then you have to introduce the Mongooses to get rid of the giant centipedes,
and then you have to introduce the honey badgers to get rid of the mongooses, etc., like some fucked-up version of "There Was an Old Woman Who Swallowed a Fly"...

Centipedes are pretty much the only thing I have an irrational fear of...
but I do find them bio-mechanically fascinating...

They almost look modular,
as though with enough surgical knowledge, parts could be swapped or joined up.
