Hey, i can only answer a few questions, sorry

Sexing a pede is likely impossible when its alive i guess, there are no external signs how to see if it's a female or male, only when your pede is laying eggs it's probarly a female :)


I think most of the guys here use the rotation methode for breeding them.

the only specie known to be communal is the suspines mutilans, then agian this isn't proven as far as i known when they become adults.

that's all i can help you with,....

I really hope you become Super Centipede Knowledge Man!!!!!
then ther's one guy who's gonna have a lot of PM's in his mailbox :)
