Artificial centipede breeding, from the egg-laying of captured adult centipedes, through hatching until they are provided for medicinal use, requires 2-3 years. The medicinal processing technique for centipedes involves using the dried whole body of the centipede. After capture, the centipede is boiled in hot water to kill it, then a finely pointed bamboo skewer is inserted into both the head and tail sections, utilizing the elasticity of the bamboo to stretch the centipede straight. It is then sun-dried. After processing and preparation, the centipede appears as a flat, elongated shape, approximately 14-16 cm long and 0.6-1.0 cm wide, with a total of 22 segments, the last segment being smaller and referred to as the "tail." The head is reddish-brown with one pair each of sensory organs and venom hooks; the back is dark brown and glossy with two raised ridges; the abdomen is yellowish-brown and shriveled. Each segment has one pair of legs, which are yellowish-red, curved backward, with the last segment resembling a spine. It emits a fishy odor with a distinctive pungent smell and tastes acrid and slightly salty. Within the centipede's body are two toxic components similar to bee venom: histamine-like substances and hemolytic proteins. In addition, it contains tyrosine, leucine, formic acid, fatty oils, cholesterol, etc. Medicinal centipedes have the functions of calming wind, relieving spasms, reducing swelling, and detoxifying. They are mainly used to treat children's convulsions, tetanus, seizures, facial paralysis, lymph node tuberculosis, abscesses, and ulcers. Recently, it has been discovered that centipedes also have anti-tumor effects. Under artificial feeding conditions, the body length of a centipede can reach the small strip standard (8 cm) for medicinal use within two years, and after two years, it will approach the large strip standard.
Therefore, it can be inferred that water should be added appropriately to the hatching tank. When adding water, it should be slowly poured along the wall of the tank, ensuring that only the inner walls surrounding the hatching nest become slightly damp. Water should not be directly sprinkled on the nest, nor should the humidity inside the nest be too high. After hatching ends, although young centipedes temporarily gather in clusters, they can also move and seek food independently. At this time, the female gradually leaves the hatching nest to move and act independently. Because centipedes exhibit food competition and cannibalism, the female should be promptly removed or the young separated for individual rearing.
The agricultural science and technology benefitting the people, with top-notch centipede breeding techniques, the indoor hatching tanks should be pre-installed, and once egg-laying begins, they should not be easily moved. Observers should handle them carefully, avoiding randomly moving covering glass slides (tile pieces) and should not shine flashlights. During the hatching period, no feeding is required, but since this is the peak of summer, if the humidity inside the hatching nest is too low, it will affect the normal development of the embryo and individual growth patterns.
