There is a lot of info on this forum about sexing if you do a search, also see this document, it condenses things down a bit : http://hochzeitsfotografie-mainz-bi...odecta_Scolopendomorpha_englisch_30_11_09.pdf

Mating is pretty much as simple as introducing two healthy specimens together and observing them. I usually place male in females enclosure, but plenty of folk here have had success doing it the other way round, or putting them both in a different container. Females will follow males around until they drop sperm, at which point she will pick it up and the male can be removed. Worth bearing in mind some species "wrestle" as part of the mating process, which is not quite the same as full on fighting.

In short, do a search here, you'll find plenty of information and images ;)
