Question

Did you ever have a centipede crawl into your house?

Answer 1

I've never seen one, and we've been living here for more than 50 years.

However, I did find a snake in the bedroom once. Christmas day when the kids were small. I thought it was a toy and nudged it with my toe. It was very patient with me.

I hope it wasn't a coral snake.  :-O

It was a brown snake. Poisonous enough but obviously not in a mood to attack. Or maybe it was just sharing the Christmas spirit.

---

Did you nudge it all the way out of the house with your toe, or did you employ other methods to remove it, once you realized it was alive?

---

Nah, I clobbered it with a lump of wood.

A big stick is the better part of nudging.   :-)

Answer 2

No never.

Answer 3

One time, and it freaked me out.

Answer 4

Never in the house, but once in the outdoor shower at the beach house. He was really beautiful. 

Answer 5

I didn't witness the little bugger crawl into the house, but I found one in the kitchen once.  I've also found millipedes hiding under firewood.  Way too many legs on those things.  Way too many.

Answer 6

No centipedes.  Millipedes occasionally.

Answer 7

Yes, although i think it was a millipede.  It was in my daughters room.

Answer 8

No, not in houses, but outdoors, in meadows, woods, gardens, etc.

Answer 9

Yes.

These are the ones I've seen in the house, usually around or in the sink or bathtub.  I don't know why they hang around places with water for.  Can they swim?  Or, do they just like water?
