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.
