The egg-laying process takes about 2 to 3 hours under smooth conditions. After laying eggs, the centipede cleverly turns its body sideways and gathers the eggs into a cluster with its legs, hugging them in its arms for incubation. During egg-laying, if disturbed, the centipede will stop laying eggs or eat all the eggs that are currently incubating, which is known as the centipede's protective response. The incubation period of centipedes lasts from 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 her body and antennae move back and forth and sweep, driving away nearby small insects. She often uses her 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 being infected by bacteria or contaminated by other dirt. The eggs are elliptical in shape and vary in size. The general egg-laying quantity is between 20 to 60 eggs, mostly 40 to 50 eggs, with some individuals laying fewer than 10 eggs. The egg-laying season is from late June to early August, that is, from Summer Solstice to Beginning of Autumn, with the peak egg-laying period being early to mid-July. Before laying eggs, the centipede's abdomen almost tightly clings to the ground, digging a shallow hole on its own. When laying eggs, the centipede's body curves into an S-shape, the last few pairs of legs prop it up, the tail legs curl upwards, the antennae stretch forward, and then the eggs are discharged one by one from the reproductive opening. In the absence of external disturbances, the smooth egg-laying process takes about 2 to 3 hours.
Before the egg-laying season, measures should be taken:
1. Isolation of ovigerous females. Centipedes require a quiet environment for egg-laying and incubation. If disturbed, they often eat their eggs or even their young ones. Observations show that in the same breeding pool, the egg-laying times of female centipedes are very inconsistent. The activities of non-egg-laying females and male centipedes often interfere with and destroy the normal process of egg-laying and incubation, and some even snatch the eggs. Therefore, before the females lay eggs, they should be bred separately or isolated using glass sheets, bottomless glass cups, tin cans, tiles, etc., in large breeding pools.
2. Strengthening feeding before egg-laying to increase nutrition. Centipedes do not eat or drink water during the incubation period and rely on consuming their own nutrients to maintain activity. Before egg-laying, the females have the habit of eating a lot to accumulate nutrients. At this time, the feeding amount should be increased, and attention should be paid to adjusting the types of food to encourage the females to eat more and increase their nutrition before incubation.
3. Monitoring during the incubation period. During the period when centipedes hold eggs and raise their young, they have certain reactions to disturbances, vibrations, strong light, loud sounds, etc. Therefore, the breeding room must be chosen to be quiet and dark. It is best to install red lights indoors and use cloth or bamboo curtains to block the windows to prevent strong light exposure.

Focusing on modern bio-engineering, special breeding, and insect resource development, it integrates research, breeding, teaching, promotion, technical services, production, sales, and import-export trade into a high-tech enterprise. It owns large ecological breeding areas, solar house breeding areas, greenhouse breeding areas, and separate technical training centers, seedling breeding centers, seed source rooms, hatching rooms, gene transformation rooms, etc., with excellent foundations and complete systems.
Wuhan Nongke Humin Company: Adhering to the tradition of "diligent reading and hard work, establishing oneself and helping others," our company aims at "scientific farming" as its purpose, promoting the industrial development of centipede resources with the business philosophy of "integrity, dedication, practicality, innovation, and win-win." We will strive to provide our fellow farmers with higher quality and higher-yield seedlings, more advanced technology, and more perfect services, keeping pace with the times and jointly creating a more brilliant tomorrow.

Hubei centipede breeding development space, Wuhan centipede breeding factory support for the latest status of Chinese centipede breeding characteristics of centipede life 1. Habitat environment Centipedes fear sunlight, hide during the day and come out at night, liking to live in dark, warm, rainproof, well-ventilated places. They mainly live in low mountain areas with much stone and little soil. Although there are distributions in plain areas, the numbers are relatively small. Centipedes have an extremely strong ability to drill into crevices, often testing the fissures with their sensitive antennae and flat head plates; most rock and soil crevices can be passed through or inhabited. When the density is too large or disturbances are too frequent, mutual killings leading to death can occur [Nongke]. However, under artificial breeding conditions, dozens can cohabit together when bait and drinking water are sufficient. 2. Activities and dietary habits Centipedes are typical carnivorous animals, fierce in nature, with a wide range of food, especially fond of small insects. They have venomous mandibles that can even kill animals larger than themselves. There are also cases of same-species mutual killings leading to poisoning and death. The insects eaten by centipedes include crickets, locusts, chafer beetles, cicadas, grasshoppers, various flies, bees, and they can even eat spiders, earthworms, snails, and animals much larger than their bodies such as frogs, mice, sparrows, lizards, and snakes, etc. In early spring when food is scarce, they can also eat a small amount of grass and moss sprouts. In artificial breeding, some are fed loaches, fresh fish, frogs, shrimp, crabs, etc., but the food must be fresh, and they will not eat slightly rotten food. Centipede egg-laying and hatching techniques Centipedes are oviparous. Every year from late spring to early summer, the eggs in the ovaries gradually mature. The general egg-laying quantity is between 20 to 60 eggs, mostly 40 to 50 eggs, with some individuals laying fewer than 10 eggs. The egg-laying season is from late June to early August, that is, from Summer Solstice to Beginning of Autumn, with the peak egg-laying period being early to mid-July. Before laying eggs, the centipede's abdomen almost tightly clings to the ground, digging a shallow hole on its own.

Hubei centipede breeding development space, Wuhan centipede breeding factory support for the latest status of Chinese centipede breeding. Generally, the diameter of the eggs is about 3 to 3.5 meters, pale yellow, semi-transparent. The egg membrane is elastic, and the egg cluster hatches slowly, with no significant changes in the first five days, only gradually turning white from pale yellow; after half a month, the eggs grow into kidney shapes, the middle trace lines crack open, and the eggs grow to 5 millimeters; after 20 days, they become crescent-shaped, faintly showing tiny foot claws, the eggs are about 7 millimeters; after one month, they initially take on the form of young ones, about 1.2 centimeters long, and can wriggle within the mother centipede's embrace; after 35 to 40 days, the young centipedes grow to 1.5 centimeters and can crawl up and down but still do not leave the mother; after 43 to 45 days, they grow to 2 to 2.5 centimeters, the larvae leave the mother and start independent activities, prolonging their search for food. During the incubation period, the mother has already fully accumulated nutrients, so feeding is unnecessary, otherwise, the eggs may be polluted by food and consumed by the mother herself. From egg hatching, the growth and development of the young ones until adulthood, centipedes need to molt several times, growing significantly larger each time they molt. Adult centipedes generally molt once a year, some twice. Before molting, the back plate of adult centipedes rises and loses its luster, the body color changes from black-green to light green with a slight yellowish-brown tinge, the legs turn from red to yellow, the whole body becomes thick, movements slow down, they do not eat, vision and tactile abilities decrease, and they cannot quickly escape when touched. During molting, the centipede uses its head front to press against the stone wall or mud wall, selects the top starting plate, and then relies on its own stretching movement to shed its skin section by section, allowing the body along with the legs to be shed sequentially from front to back. By the time it reaches the 7th-8th segment of the body,
