Lizard vs Centipede!
Hi there! I have a Cuban brown anole, and I've just run out of crickets for her!  Oh noes!
Anyways, my family is a little tight on the Benjamins, so I've taken to capturing small arthropods around the house when I run out of crickets and tossing them in the vivarium. I know this is beneficial because it's good to feed any pet a variety of foods. However, there is one particular critter I see at night that I think might be tasty - scutigera coleoptrata; that is, the house centipede. The only problem with this is that they sting (yes, sting, not bite, because the appendages which inject venom are on arms and not fangs). Would the venom from this creature be dangerous to my anole? I know humans can handle it, and small mammals, but anoles are kinda small.
