Hey, I recently got 6 Scolopendra dalmatica. They’re completely new to the hobby and really rare.

meanwhile I discussed about breeding with some breeders and I know how to breed them. But does anyone experienced have any tips when breeding them?

The same way Cingulata breed. Mating season goes from end of March til end of may into mid June. Eggs will be laid if your lucky around end of July mid August and you’ll have a viable clutch ready to go around end of September mid October. For the breeding action itself there’s nothing different from other scolopendromorpha. You put the male in the enclosure with the male and if they won’t kill each other you might have mating going well.
Hope this helps.
Take care

By the way they’re not rare. They’re just endemic in Eastern Europe. North-east Italy is full of them if you know where to catch them. The only rare Scolopendra in Europe is the Oraniensis which is endemic only in Sardinia(Italy) and is very very difficult to find.
