Don’t seem to be able to confirm this at the moment. I think it is a juvenile, probably a Scolopendroid rather than a Geophilomorph, but can’t quite see the head clearly enough to be sure

Chilopoda (class)

I think this is too big to be a Symphyla. Could it be an immature Scutigeridae sp.?

Lithobiomorpha (order)
