The egg-laying process usually takes about 2 to 3 hours. After laying the eggs, the centipede skillfully turns its body sideways and gathers the eggs into a cluster with its legs, holding them in its arms for incubation. During egg-laying, if disturbed, the centipede will stop laying eggs or even eat all the eggs that are currently hatching. This is what is known as the protective response of the centipede. The incubation period lasts 43 to 50 days. During this time, the mother centipede never leaves the eggs or young ones, carefully guarding them. Sometimes, the lower half of its body and antennae move back and forth and sweep, driving away nearby small insects. It also often uses its feeding claws to manipulate or lick the egg cluster and the young ones. It is speculated that the centipede may be secreting some kind of oral gland and basijugular gland secretion to prevent the egg cluster from bacterial infection or contamination by other dirt. The eggs are elliptical in shape and vary in size. Generally, the number of eggs laid ranges from 20 to 60, mostly 40 to 50, and occasionally less than 10. The egg-laying season is from late June to early August, that is, from the summer solstice to the beginning of autumn, and especially during the first and second ten-day periods of July. Before laying eggs, the centipede's abdomen almost tightly touches the ground, digging a shallow hole on its own. When laying eggs, the centipede's body curves into an S-shape, with the last few pairs of legs propping it up, the tail feet raised, and the antennae stretched forward. Then, the eggs come out one by one from the reproductive orifice. Under undisturbed conditions,
Extending life and seeking food. During the incubation period, the mother has already accumulated sufficient nutrients, so there is no need to feed her, otherwise, it would cause the eggs to be eaten due to food contamination. From hatching from eggs, the development and growth of the young until they become adults, centipedes must molt several times, each time molting making them noticeably larger. Adult centipedes generally molt once a year, some twice. Before molting, the back plate of the adult centipede rises without luster, the body color changes from black-green to light green with a slight yellowish-brown hue, the legs change from red to yellow, the whole body becomes coarse, movements slow down, no food intake, vision and tactile ability decline, unable to quickly escape when touched. During molting, the centipede uses the front end of its head to press against the stone wall or mud wall, selects the top plate to start molting, then relies on its own stretching movement to shed layer by layer, allowing the body along with the legs to molt sequentially from front to back. When molting reaches the 7th-8th section of the body, 2. Isolation of ovulating female bodies. Centipedes require a quiet environment for egg-laying and hatching. If disturbed, the females often eat the eggs, and sometimes even the young ones. Observations show that within the same breeding pool, the timing of egg-laying among females varies greatly. The activities of non-egg-laying females and male centipedes often interfere with and disrupt the normal process of egg-laying and hatching, with some even eating the eggs. Therefore, before the females lay eggs, they should be kept separately or isolated in large breeding pools using glass sheets, bottomless glass cups, tin cans, tiles, etc. 3. Strengthening feeding before birth and increasing nutrition. Centipedes do not eat or drink water during the incubation period, relying on their own nutritional reserves to maintain activity. Before laying eggs, females have the habit of consuming large amounts of food to accumulate nutrients. At this time, the amount of food should be increased, and attention should be paid to adjusting the variety of food to encourage more feeding and increase the nutrients before hatching. 4. Supervision during the incubation period. During the period when centipedes hold eggs and raise young ones, they have certain reactions to disturbances, vibrations, strong light, loud sounds, etc. Therefore, the breeding room must be selected in a quiet and dark place. Red lights should preferably be installed indoors, and windows should be covered with cloth or bamboo curtains to prevent strong light exposure.

Living characteristics of centipedes in Hubei and Wuhan: Development space for centipede breeding. Supporting the latest status of centipede breeding in China. 1. Habitat Environment Centipedes fear sunlight, hide during the day and come out at night, preferring to live in dark, warm, sheltered from rain, well-ventilated places. They mainly live in low mountain areas with more rocks and less soil. Although they are distributed in plain areas, their numbers are relatively fewer. Centipedes have a very strong ability to drill into crevices. They often use their sensitive antennae and flat head plates to test the crevices. Most rock and soil crevices can be passed through or inhabited. When the density is too large or disturbed too much, it can lead to mutual killing and death. However, under artificial breeding conditions, they can coexist in groups of dozens when bait and drinking water are sufficient. 2. Activities and Diet Centipedes are typical carnivorous animals, fierce in nature, with a wide range of food, particularly fond of small insects. They have jaw claws that can shoot out venom, capable of even killing animals larger than themselves. There is also a phenomenon of mutual killing between the same species leading to poisoning and death. The insects eaten by centipedes include crickets, locusts, scarab beetles, cicadas, grasshoppers, and various flies, bees, and even spiders, earthworms, snails, as well as frogs, mice, sparrows, lizards, snakes, and other animals much larger than their bodies. In early spring when food is scarce, they can also eat small amounts of young grass and moss. In artificial breeding, some feed on loaches, fresh fish, frogs, shrimp, crabs, but the food must be fresh; they will not eat slightly spoiled food. Centipede egg-laying and hatching techniques Centipedes are oviparous. Every spring and early summer, the eggs in the ovaries gradually mature. Generally, the number of eggs laid ranges from 20 to 60, mostly 40 to 50, and occasionally less than 10. The egg-laying season is from late June to early August, that is, from the summer solstice to the beginning of autumn, and especially during the first and second ten-day periods of July.

When laying eggs, the centipede's body curves into an S-shape, with the last few pairs of legs propping it up, the tail feet raised, and the antennae stretched forward. Then, the eggs come out one by one from the reproductive orifice. Under undisturbed conditions, the smooth egg-laying process usually takes about 2 to 3 hours. After laying the eggs, the centipede skillfully turns its body sideways and gathers the eggs into a cluster with its legs, holding them in its arms for incubation. During egg-laying, if disturbed, it will stop laying eggs or even eat all the eggs that are currently hatching. This is what is known as the protective reaction of the centipede.

The eggs are elliptical in shape and vary in size.
Development space for centipede breeding in Hubei and Wuhan. Support from centipede breeding factories in Wuhan for the latest status of centipede breeding in China. Generally, the diameter of the eggs is about 3 to 3.5 meters, pale yellow, semi-transparent. The egg membrane is elastic, and the hatching of the egg cluster is slow. There is no significant change in the first five days, only gradually turning from pale yellow to white; after half a month, the eggs grow into kidney shapes, with the middle trace line splitting open, reaching 5 millimeters in length; after 20 days, they form crescent shapes, faintly visible small legs, the eggs about 7 millimeters; after one month, they initially take on the shape of young ones, about 1.2 centimeters in length, and can wriggle within the mother centipede's embrace; after 35 to 40 days, the young centipedes grow to 1.5 centimeters and can climb up and down, but still do not leave the mother's body. After 43 to 45 days, they grow to 2 to 2.5 centimeters, the larvae separate from the mother's body and begin independent activities, extending life and seeking food. During the incubation period, the mother's body has already fully accumulated nutrients, so there is no need to feed her, otherwise, it would cause the eggs to be eaten due to food contamination.
