What is good to use to keep centipedes, 50

Glass tank, plastic sorting box.

Hello! Centipede farming methods:

1. The boxed breeding box is made of wooden boards, its size is 55 cm long, 45 cm wide, and 30 cm high.

After the box is made, put it in the appropriate position indoors, a plurality of boxes is discharged, the bottom of the box is placed with multiple layers of tiles, the distance between the tiles is about centimeters, and the feet are cushioned around with cement, usually 5 6 pieces are stacked, so that the gap left between the tiles can be inhabited by centipedes.

Before the tiles are put into the box, they should be washed with water and enough water should be absorbed to create a moist environment for the centipedes. And after a certain period of time, replace a new batch of tiles to keep it moist and clean and hygienic.

2. Ceramic cylinders are usually used for tank maintenance, and ceramic cylinders with a diameter of 50 60 cm wide and 80 100 cm high are selected. Place it in a proper place indoors, and place a layer of gravel or broken tiles at the bottom of the tank.

Cover a layer of 30 cm thick fertile vegetable garden soil on the top, level it slightly, stack the tiles on the soil surface according to the box cultivation method, the top tile is about 20 cm away from the cylinder mouth, and cover the cylinder mouth with an iron gauze cover to prevent centipedes from escaping.

3. Pond culture is to build ponds indoors or outdoors for breeding, and the ponds are brick and cement structures. The environment in the pool should be warm, cool, humid and quiet. Indoor pools are generally about 2 square meters per pool area is suitable, rectangular, the pool height is 50 60 cm, the inner wall is smoothed with cement, leaving no gaps, and lined with agricultural film, or with 20 cm wide glass inlaid above the pool.

The bottom of the pond is not paved with cement, first a layer of small soil blocks about 10 cm thick, and then 5 or 6 layers of tiles are piled on top, leaving a gap of centimeters between the tiles for centipedes to inhabit and lay eggs and hatch.

In areas with cold weather, a pit 50 to 60 centimeters deep can be dug at a certain distance from the wall on the inside of the pool wall, and stones, broken bricks and tiles are piled up in the pit, and a gap is created for centipedes to overwinter, and the mouth of the pool is covered with iron or plastic gauze covers.

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 today – the most common are coconut soil, peat soil (413 or 422), 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 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.
