Centipedes are mostly poisonous species, and the toxicity is not necessarily strong, so we need to be careful when raising them, so what should we pay attention to when raising them?
Centipedes reproduce by oviparity. Generally, after 3 years of sexual maturity, it usually breeds in estrus from May to September every year. Females can fertilize eggs continuously for 3-5 years after mating once. The lifespan of a centipede is only 6 years. It molts several times in its life.
After successful mating, centipedes usually start laying eggs within 40 days. The female centipede lays fertilized eggs on her own back for timely hatching. Each female centipede ovulates for 2 to 3 hours at a time, and lays 30 to 60 eggs each time. The egg surface is rich in mucus, and the egg granules stick together to form an egg mass. The female centipede does not eat or drink during the incubation period until the young centipede hatches, and then grows into an adult.
