Hey, I was just wonderin if any of ya`ll knew how long it normally took a centipedes eggs to hatch? Or does it depend apon the species? I don`t know what species i Have and no camera to post pics.. Sorry... But I found it under a peice of bark and i have had it for several months now and no clue as to what it is. But I got plings on the way and i need to know when i should expect them. She`s been holdin on to them for about 7 days now so i`m so excited.....

spider most centipede eggs take around 30 days to hatch then about another 30 days for the pedelings to leave the mother during the time she is with the eggs do not disturd her or she will eat the eggs

Incredible pic Fatbloke! :)

On a similar note, upon doing maintenance, I discovered my (apparently female :)) Hawaiian Scolopendra sp. wrapped around a good sized brood of eggs. :D
I am not going to photograph her as of yet since doing this caused my S. s. dehaani to eat her eggs. I'm just going to let her be and hope for the best.


See ya and good luck, both of you.
