Vietnamese Centipede

This is my first centipede. Never plan on handling it. Any care advice for these guys? I got it from Repticon Saturday when a friend of mine decided he wanted to pet it and it "jumped" outta the container and made a run for it. lol He actually was able to catch it with his bare hands and put it back without being it. LOL But that was a funny site to see...

Since I got my centipede it's eaten 3 times already, I think. I put a cricket in one day, gone. Another in the next day, gone. And yesterday a wax worm and that gone too. If the crickets were alive, they'd be chirping. but it's silent. Too bad I haven't see it actually catch it's food yet.

Juvenile crickets don't chirp usually and worms can bury in the substrate. I'd just make sure there's a hide spot, the humidity is high and it's warm enough.
