I am keeping 2 DHL's
No these are not the big yellow/blue/green centipedes. Those guys would be gnarly as their mandibles get big - but they are around here (Sacramento) too. They are smaller red ones (where is my insect book?) and I try to feed them the smaller ones - they do get a little wary of the bigger ones - bigger ones do have mandibles but never been a problem to me or the DHL's. They grab them and head shake them in the sand and then proceed to swallow them - pretty cool. I will try and take some pictures over the weekend and post.
I have never had any regurgitation in my expereince with HL's - kept a few species in the past. I read that here that meal/wax worms cause them to reguritate but never had that problem. Like I said, I try not to feed them more than 2 at a time and never seen them undigested either. I have seen a cricket come out undigested, but that is a rare occassion.
