I Killed This Poisonous Thing In My Room By 3am And I Don't Know It's Name(pics) by Nobody: 3:32am On Jul 19, 2017
The worst part was that I had to hit it like 20times before it grew weak and it was just making hissing noises before it died. I'm very sure its poisonous isn't it?



Please those who have idea about its capabilities and what its called should please let me know. Thanks.

I doubt the poisonous part of it because we were told to always avoid it like a plague back then in secondary school days.

how did you know it's poisonous since you said you don't know it
Re: I Killed This Poisonous Thing In My Room By 3am And I Don't Know It's Name(pics) by Mynd44: 6:29am On Jul 19, 2017
Lets do some science.

1. I guess it is better to name it first. It is a centipede. You see that it has a pair of legs on each segment.

2. Please dont confuse poison with venom. Snakes are venomous. The question you want to ask is if this animal is venomous. Next time just use dangerous or harmful so you dont mix it up.

3. Yes, it is venomous and it can pass the venom into you via a bite.

4. The venom is not partifularly harmful except you have an allergy for insect venom. The venom is like that of a bee, does not do much harm.

5. This animal was basically not dangerous to you, you could have just used a broom and packer to throw it out safely into the bush. You just killed an innocent animal due to fear. Sad.

Okay, that's all

They forbid killing a particular breed of snake which is python. These snakes are harmless anyway so why kill them?

This little creature alone I killed is already giving me goosebumps. And I just wasted my beans this morning because it just couldn't leave my head and every crayfish in the beans keeps looking like what I killed at night embarassed embarassed embarassed

I dont know your reason for quoting me with that article

Did you miss this part?

"While centipedes sometimes bite humans, it is rare that their venom will produce a severe reaction. However, small children and those with other insect allergies should be watched carefully following a centipede bite. In the event of bite-related medical concerns, a medical professional should be contacted at once."

And yes that was from the link you posted

Did you also read this

Centipedes are carnivorous and kill their prey by injecting them with venom.

and this

Centipedes have maxillipeds with which they attack prey. These are the venomous modified legs of the centipede’s first segment and can be used in defense, as well. A centipede bite can kill small prey, but typically is not life threatening to humans

You're acting like those pastors that would only quote a particular part of the scripture just to favor their gains instead of quoting all. The same thing applies here ...yes the link claimed centipedes might not be harmful to humans but you never know how strong a particular human may be at any point in time and just a sting from a harmless ant would result in death even though it might be to another.

Humas are not prey for centipede, brush up on your food chain. "Prey" in that context refers to lesser insects like you i imagine. wink

I am from imo no community forbids the killing of snake in Imo. its just a certain boab that is not harmful, going into extinction, very sluggish and is part of their folk tales that is kinda protected as a form of conservation of the specie. if not every other snake is killed. but if you kill that snake nothing will still happen to you.
