When reading comments on the video in question, I found something along these lines.

(NOTE: The Centipede I’m talking about is the one found in the Outbacks of Australia and one–if not THE biggest–species of Centipedes known to science.)

“Bla-bla-bla-video-comments, good pet, eats rodents, yadda-yadda–actually doesn’t poison it’s prey with it’s venom, but wrather injects it’s prey with a venom that cuases SO MUCH PAIN that the prey’s muscles constrict and stiffen, causing “paralysis” by pain, not by venom. After paralysing it’s victum, one of two things happen. 1.)a The prey dies after seconds from pain over-load in the brain. or 2.)b The captured prey Does Not Die and instead has to bare witness to the Centipede mawling their body until a vital organ is chewed on or loss of blood occurs, ultimately resulting in death. Wouldn’t want one of these beasties in your house! Also, I’ve heard of friends that have had these things worm themselves into their house during storms when the rain floods them out of their holes and dwellings to seek high and dry ground, and even some people who claim to have woken up after these 1 1/2 foot gaints drop from their celling and onto their beds in the middle of the night!!”

I’m going to go stick my hand in a blender for posting this and reminding myself of how freaked out I am by these things. Good thing I don’t really sleep anyways..
