Damn, really? They're kinda cool, but their bite is supposedly extremely painful.



Or is this guy just being dramatic?

I'm pretty sure the species in this part of Texas is supposed to have a mild sting... I think?

I think its Latinized name is Scolopendra heros aka the Texas redheaded centipede. This is what wikipedia says:
S. heros bites are very painful to vertebrates.[4] A rat bitten by S. heros in the leg showed signs of excruciating pain, followed by soreness, but returned to normal after five hours.[11] For humans, a bite from S. heros usually causes sharp, searing, local pain and swelling,[11][12] but has never caused any confirmed deaths.[4] S. heros bites are known to occasionally cause nausea, headache, and localized skin necrosis.[4] However, there are individual cases of severe symptoms and injury (including kidney failure due to rhabdomyolysis, and heart attack) in humans resulting from Scolopendra bites.

If you bite them first, they’re less likely to bite you first.

I've been down there a lot and I've never seen one, which makes me think they're not common, or I'm just not seeing them.

I feel like seeing one of these inside would be something I'd never forget lol

Especially if it was as big as in these videos.

Yeah I know, but I grew up with rattlesnakes and tarantulas and other crazy chit. Like I remember finding a snake in my closet once but not this? So I really don't know

Almost every day. Free protein. They taste great when baked in the oven. I prefer to cut mine into chicken sized cubes and skewer them and smother them in BBQ sauce.

They're so damn big that I bet they do have a ton of protein.
