Anyone tried culturing centipedes for ant food?

I have collected some stone centipedes (I think that's what they are, anyways. Looks about identical to photos online) and given them pre-killed to my colonies, and every single colony has absolutely lost their mind over them. Seems to be a top favorite food, so I'm wondering if it's possible to culture them? Anyone else tried something like this before?

I've wanted to try, but I'm pretty sure stone centipedes would be very difficult to rear at a rate that could feed ants as anything except a very occasional snack
