How to breed golden headed centipedes in captivity? How to breed centipedes

1. The growth temperature should be suitable: the growth temperature of centipedes should be noted in the case of artificial breeding centipedes, which is generally more suitable in the environment of 29 to 32 degrees Celsius. In summer, when the temperature is relatively high, it is necessary to pay attention to ventilating and cooling the centipede, and you can sprinkle water indoors once or twice a day, so that the soil will maintain a certain humidity and achieve the effect of cooling.

2. Feeding skin and food: The time for centipedes to eat is from April to October every year, and the amount of food to be fed according to the temperature and the growth of centipedes. Generally, the amount of food and activity of centipedes are relatively high during the high temperature period in summer, so they can be fed more appropriately.

However, if you can't finish eating, you must clean up the food residue in time to avoid the growth of bacteria and cause centipedes to be infected with diseases.

3. Disease prevention and control: centipedes are also relatively susceptible to disease, such as metavergilosis, gastroenteritis, shelling disease, etc. Usually pay more attention to the living state of the centipede, and when it is found that the centipede is slow and irritable, it is necessary to see whether it is sick, timely use of medicine**, or isolate the diseased centipede.

1. Centipede breeding is simple, occupies less area, feeds slowly and does not cost much.

2. Artificially cultivated centipedes can be cultivated in tanks, pools, etc., using jars, using dilapidated tile jars or ceramic jars, preferably with a diameter of more than meters, buried in the soil about 20 cm with the mouth facing down, and the soil outside is patted solid. The middle of the cylinder is built up with bricks or adobe, which is about 10 cm lower than the cylinder surface, and there is a certain gap between the billet and the cylinder wall. If you use an intact cylinder, don't knock off the bottom, just build adobe directly in the cylinder.

A tank with a diameter of 80 cm can hold about 200 adult centipedes.

3. When using pond culture, the breeding pond should be built in a sunny and ventilated place, convenient drainage, damp and secluded. It can be built indoors or outdoors. Bricks or stones, etc., cement plastering, Bu Na Xi pond height 80 cm, breeding pond area size arbitrary, generally in 5-10 square meters is appropriate.

Paste a smooth and undamaged plastic film on the inside around the mouth of the pool, or use glass sheets to form a circle of inner eaves about 15 cm wide and at right angles to the pool wall. 500-900 adult centipedes can be stocked per square meter of breeding ponds.

1. Choose a breeding box.

For the terrium box, we have to choose according to the size of the centipede. It is recommended to have a ventilated and transparent breeding box, and if you do not have the conditions to buy a professional breeding box, you can also use a finishing box with ventilation holes instead. But be sure to pay attention to ventilation.

2. Select bedding soil.

There are three main types of bedding soil suitable for centipedes on the market - coconut soil, peat soil (413 or 422), which is the most common in Ziwangyuan, and reptile wood blocks. These three kinds of bedding soil can be selected, and the function is not much different, mainly in appreciation. These three types of bedding soil can be mixed.

After choosing the bedding trace soil, remember to clean and replace it regularly to avoid the proliferation of mites.

3. Choose the right basin.

Water is the source of life, and in the breeding environment of centipedes, it is necessary to prepare a water basin that is not easy to be knocked over to ensure the water of centipedes**. This is very important and not to be sloppy.

4. Provide shelter.

Providing a shelter helps centipedes find a sense of security and is conducive to feeding in new environments. And it is also of great help to the aesthetics and artistry of the breeding box. The easiest thing to dodge is the bark, you can consider it.

5. Control humidity.

For centipedes, humidity is especially important. Centipedes themselves like damp and cold environments, so the environment we raise should be the same. It is best to maintain the humidity of the bedding soil to more than 40%, and there should always be water in the basin.

6. Control the temperature.

Centipedes are arthropods, so they also have very high temperature requirements. Generally speaking, 23-28 degrees Celsius is the best temperature. Then in the winter we have to prepare heating pads. The heating method is the common reptile pet heating method, so there is no need to repeat it.

7. Feeding method.

The main things that keep centipedes are bread worms and barley worms. Juveniles are usually fed every two to three days, while adults are fed once a week. Depending on the size of the centipede, the number of bread worms or barley worms is given.

This is also the most worrying point of centipede breeding.
