Thanks for that. It's not for school, but if ever there is a task in later years that requires me to write something like this, then lucky me.

If you are considering getting one, great! Don't feel pressured to handle them, there's always risk involved and many centipedes are pretty aggressive initially. If you succeed (and anyone who is cautious can), then an amazing pet will become even more amazing.
