I think you'll find, that's what centipedes do.If it never comes out how do you inspect it? do you dig it out of the dirt?
I've got a vietnam centipede(scolopendra subspinipes) and since I've had it, I've seen it for no more than ten minutes in total.What are you feeding it? Mine pops out, grabs a cricket then goes under again! this can all be over in 60 seconds.
hope this helps

:Hi,
:I have a small mexican red head (I think!) centipede, and I'm not sure if it's ok...
: It hasn't eaten since I got it, and never come up from underground, ever. Whenever I inspect it, it just rushes (at a very high speed) away, burying itself...so it can't be ill. What gives?
:Thanks.
