On this page I will tell you about all diseases I've encountered and what you can do about it.

Dehydration / Underfeeding: Seen from the side there's almost no room between the tergites (upperside) and sternites (underside) of the centipede. It also looks like the legs are flat. If it has progressed too far the chance to safe the centipede is small. The only thing you can do is give it access to water and food. You can cut some insect in half so the pede cantry to eat the soft parts.

Mites: There are a lot of small dots that look like sans on and between the bodysegments of the centipede. If nothing is done the mites will increase in numbers and they can kill the centipede by blocking or getting in the spiracles. Mites are usually a sign that your substrate is too wet. The solution is simple. Put the centipede on dry substrate (with a full waterdish). The mites no longer have access to water and will usually be gone after a few days.

Mycosis ?: I don't know if this is in fact mycosis but it looks a lot like it. On the centipedes legs are black dots and sometimes there are even leg parts missing. I believe this is also caused by too much moisture. The solution is to dry out the substrate. Lost legparts will probably be regenarated with the next molt.

If I come along more diseases I'll update this page.
