Brick-stack type resting beds refer to centipede resting beds constructed by stacking bricks in a certain way, leaving gaps between bricks as centipede dwellings and crawling channels. There are three forms of brick-stack type resting beds: fully horizontal resting bed, horizontal-vertical resting bed, and roof-shaped resting bed.
a. Fully horizontal resting bed: This type of resting bed is made by stacking bricks entirely in a horizontal position, maintaining a gap of 0.5-1.0 cm between bricks in the same layer, and stacking bricks in a staggered manner between layers. Generally, it can be stacked up to 6-7 layers, with sponges placed on top of the uppermost layer for humidity adjustment and centipede drinking water. The advantage of this type of resting bed is that it can effectively maintain the cleanliness of the surrounding small environment for centipedes, reducing pathogen invasion, eliminating the need for breeding soil, making operations more convenient, and easier management. However, the disadvantages are high brick consumption and cost, and due to the poor water retention of bricks, it is difficult to maintain a stable humidity environment.
b. Horizontal-vertical resting bed: This type of resting bed involves laying a layer of bricks flat on the bottom of the pool, maintaining a gap of about 1 cm between bricks. Then another layer of bricks is vertically placed on this layer, also leaving a gap of about 1 cm between vertical bricks. On top of the vertical bricks, another layer of horizontal bricks is placed, with some sponges added on the horizontal bricks. Compared with the fully horizontal resting bed, the ventilation between brick gaps is relatively better. However, the disadvantage is that due to the excessively tall gaps between vertical bricks, centipedes lack security when residing there and often curl up without coming out, leading to less feeding activity and slow growth and development. Additionally, when the area of the resting bed is too small, there is a risk of collapse.
c. Roof-shaped resting bed: The basic structure of this type of resting bed is a stepped pattern formed by bricks around the periphery, with breeding soil filling the center, or sometimes using soil blocks of the same specifications as bricks to fill and stack. The construction process is as follows: first pile up the breeding soil in the center of the pool, then along the long axis of the pool, code one row of bricks 10 cm away from the wall on each side, with the long axis of the bricks perpendicular to the long axis of the pool. Then adjust the breeding soil so that the second layer of bricks is placed flat on the first layer and shifted halfway towards the center of the pool. Repeat this process until the bricks from both sides meet in the middle, forming an "eight"-shaped step. Note that there should be a gap of about 1 cm between bricks, between bricks and soil blocks, and between soil blocks themselves, providing space for centipedes to rest and move. This type of resting bed is the most commonly used model currently. Its advantage is good thermal insulation and moisture retention, convenient operation, and comfortable living conditions for centipedes with normal activities. The disadvantage is slightly more complicated construction. Sometimes, indoor breeders build multi-layered structures to save space or facilitate winter temperature increase. When building, note that the distance between every two layers should be kept above 40-50 cm, and the pool surface should not be too wide, ensuring proper ventilation and light transmission to prevent mold growth.
(2) Preparation of breeding soil. The breeding soil is both the place where centipedes live, reproduce, and the "wind shelter" where they escape various adverse factors, thus being very important for centipedes. Centipedes do not have high specific requirements for the soil quality of the breeding soil; sandy soil and loam can both be used, but the breeding soil must be loose and moist, with good thermal insulation and moisture retention properties. Therefore, the best breeding soil is relatively loose loam, while clay should not be used as breeding soil because it easily becomes compacted and unevenly distributes moisture after watering, seriously affecting centipede activities within it.
The commonly used breeding soil is repeatedly tilled garden land. The preparation process is as follows: in a garden that has not been sprayed with pesticides or fertilizers for a long time, dig up the loose, fertile surface soil, crush it (good quality garden soil usually only needs to be lightly knocked with a hoe or stick to form granules), pick out rotten leaves, stones, tiles, etc., and place them under intense sunlight, flipping and drying them for 2-3 days until completely dry. This facilitates storage and kills possible enemies' eggs or pathogens in the soil. After drying, it can be stored for later use.
Before use, according to the required amount and humidity, prepare the corresponding weight of water and spray bottle, spread the soil thinly on the ground, turn it over while evenly spraying water with the spray bottle, then load it into the pool.
In indoor breeding, once the breeding soil is adjusted to the right humidity and loaded into the pool, its humidity will not change significantly. If a large adjustment of the humidity of the already loaded breeding soil is needed, methods such as thinning the breeding soil, uniformly spraying water on the surface, or opening windows for ventilation can be used to increase or decrease the humidity of the breeding soil.
Under normal circumstances, the breeding soil is changed once every spring when centipedes just "wake up" from hibernation. Normally, if a small amount of breeding soil is lost during cleaning feces, it can be replenished appropriately. In case of diseases, ant infestations, or mite infestations, the breeding soil should be replaced promptly.
The thickness of the breeding soil laid in the pool varies depending on the season. Generally, it is about 10 cm in spring and autumn, reduced to 5 cm in summer, and increased to 15 cm in winter.
(3) Watering facilities: Watering is also one of the life activities of centipedes. Therefore, a water supply facility must be set up in the centipede breeding farm. Commonly used water supply facilities include plastic shallow trays or drinking water trays. Drinking water trays are best buried in the breeding soil or embedded in the activity field, with the surface of the breeding soil or the ground level of the activity field for convenience of centipedes searching and drinking water. Some farms have their drinking water facilities dug into a circle of ditches along the bottom of the walls of the breeding pool. The bottom and walls of the ditch are plastered with cement to prevent leaks, and the top of the ditch is level with the ground where centipedes move. The width of the ditch is 10-20 cm, and the depth is 10 cm, with clean water always maintained in the ditch. Since centipedes cannot cross the water, this ditch not only meets the drinking needs of centipedes but also prevents them from escaping.
Additionally, dense sponges soaked with clear water can be placed on the centipedes' activity fields or tile pieces for centipedes to drink water.
(4) Feeding facilities: The bait for centipedes is often some live small animals, and when feeding, they need to be cut. These bait animals may leave some mucus, feces, and juicy soft tissues before being eaten by centipedes, contaminating the breeding soil or the playground, which are difficult to clean and prone to cause the proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms. Therefore, when feeding centipedes, bait trays are often set up. Similar to drinking water trays, centipedes' bait trays can also be plastic shallow trays, buried in the breeding soil or "embedded" in the activity field, with the surface of the breeding soil or the ground level of the activity field. Thin wooden boards or hard and compact cardboard can also be used as bait trays.
(5) Heating and insulation facilities: For those who intend to produce throughout the year, winter heating is an issue that must be considered. Therefore, when constructing breeding facilities, heating facilities should be considered. At the same time, to save space and maximize heat supply efficiency, it is recommended that breeding pools be built into a three-dimensional multi-layer structure (such as a multi-layer breeding trough structure). In this way, the suspended breeding pool (trough) makes it easier to synchronously heat the breeding soil and the air inside the shed. Heating facilities can adopt dragon-style, fire-dragon style, etc. If conditions permit, boilers and radiators can also be used for heating. If using dragon or fire-dragon styles, it is best to install one or several sets along the long axis direction on both sides of the breeding pool to keep the temperature uniform in the pool. At the same time, it is best to install some thermometers in the air, in the breeding soil, and at the center bottom of the breeding soil. If using radiators for heating, it is best to place the radiators along the walls on both sides of the house, and the house's moisture-retaining performance must be good.
(6) Humidification facilities: The humidification of the centipede site includes two aspects: air humidification and soil humidification. For outdoor breeders, soil humidity is the most critical issue, often needing to consider this problem during site construction. Mainly control the humidity of the breeding soil from seepage, spraying water, and drainage of the bottom of the breeding pool, as well as ventilation. Indoor breeders can use spraying water, sprinkling water facilities, seepage, and drainage facilities to control the humidity of the breeding soil. Especially for indoor breeders in winter, due to the large temperature difference between indoors and outdoors and the large temperature difference between indoor air and breeding soil, the water in the breeding soil evaporates easily. Therefore, maintaining the humidity of the breeding soil is difficult. When building indoor three-dimensional breeding pools, it is best to add humidification facilities at the bottom of the breeding pools (troughs).
