Sorry I meant to say with not very potent venom.

Velvet worms do require cool temperatures so he was keeping them fine. BugzUK has got a lot of velvet worms in stock at the minute so I may get them instead but m still currently deciding. I have researched both for a few weeks and will continue to do so until I make up my mind. Have you seen the way velvet worms catch their prey? It's by far the coolest prey trapping method of any creature I have seen.

Yeah they are pretty awesome. They are like little slug like versions of Spider Man. My opinion - get the velvet worm haha. You said you have not yet convinced or have tried to convince your parents on a centipede? I'm sure convincing them about a Velvet worm would be far easier. A Velvet worm would seem to meet the carnivorous aspect of the animal that you are looking for.

I saw a video of a harvestman about to attack a velvet worm but the velvet worm shot it with its glue and ate the harvestman.

They're so cute as well and apparently soft to hold.
