I picked up a trio of wildcaught Ethmostigmus trigonopodus a bunch of months ago with the intent to breed.

Turns out at least one beat me to it, and has eggs.
I know the basics - don't disturb, etc. I understand that the eggs will take about a month to hatch. Should I feed the mom within this timeframe?

When do I seperate the babies, if she doesn't eat them first? The eggs have been lain within the past week or so. What do timelines look like? Picture for pede tax.

Thanks all!

Feed it before eggs show up, After the centipede will focus on protecting its young, don't feed it while its doing so, but some good humidity would help.

Be sure not to stress her so she won’t eat the eggs

Any luck having the eggs hatch?
I've been leaving her alone but I'm pretty sure she still has them, as I haven't seen her and she hasn't been drinking out of her bowl.

She's under a broken piece of terracotta. I suspect the babies have hatched now but mom still hangs with them until they molt, so still a ways to go. This is the most patient I've ever been haha.

I'll update here if the whole.process is successful!
