Jananas Bananas,

They were co-habitating for a few weeks during breeding season last year. It's not usually a good practice of housing two tarantulas together( a few species are an exception), being the opportunistic predators they are.
Not a centipede fan? They are for looking only. Any animal can be handle, it's not within my comfort zone. Venom is mild(large wasp sting), the mechanical damage by the mandibles is the tough part. They bite many times before fleeing or getting flung across the room. I've been good so far, 40+ species of inverts and no bites or stings.
