i caught a centipede & it just laid eggs.
question is, how many days from birth should i separate the babies? :?
is it also the same with scorpions when taking care of them? :?
thanks guys,
Emmanuel

once the babies start running around away from the mom it's time to seperate them

i am experimenting now with the earliest it is safe to take babies away

ok

ok, thank you so much cacoseraph for your time of reading this thread.

i'll try that one when the babies starts running around...

no problem.

one thing you can try to possibly get better pictures is to use a magnifying glass. i used to use my brother's cellphone to take my pictures and the magnifying glasses were critical!

also, i believe if you search around Lord Steven posted the species found in the Philipines.

off the top of my head i believe Scolopendra morsitans and Scolopendra subspinipes can be found at least somewhere in the Phils

edit: maybe those terminal legs (the very last legs that the centipedes use to fight and catch food and other things) look longer than most Scolopendra though.

Basically i just try to set things up for the guys that actually know stuff
