The introduction is as follows:
1. Pot culture technology.
Raising scorpions in pots is an early method. This breeding method is relatively simple. You need to choose a pot with a smooth inner wall. Generally, a plastic pot is enough, and then you need to have a 1 to 2-inch thick pad on the bottom of the pot. The soil, preferably non-polluted loess, should be used after exposure to the sun. Put the soil into the shed.
Mix water, flatten and compact, and then use bricks, tiles or adobe to build a rockery with many gaps for scorpions to rest on. This method takes up less space. Breeding methods, of course there are many other breeding methods besides this.
2. Tank culture technology.
There are also many techniques for raising scorpions in tanks. This breeding method can effectively prevent scorpions from escaping. You can use old tanks or buy new ones. There is no strict status quo on the size of the tank for raising scorpions, but it is best to It is best to have a diameter of 50 centimeters or more. For the convenience of management, the tank should be partially buried under the soil and buried according to the size and height of the tank.
Then spread 3 cm of sand, neutral soil or sponge on the bottom of the tank. Use broken bricks or special grooved adobe to build up the middle of the tank. The height should not exceed the tank surface. There should be a certain gap around and on the surface of the tank to facilitate the habitat and movement of scorpions. There should be an iron gauze mesh cover or nylon mesh cover on the mouth of the tank to prevent scorpions from escaping. This method of raising scorpions is easy to operate and manage, and is suitable for beginners to raise a small amount of scorpions.
3. Box culture technology.
Scorpion box culture is also a good choice. If it is an old packaging box, it cannot contain pesticides or other irritating pollutants. It is best to buy a new one. The size of the box is not limited, but the bottom of the box is To lay the soil, follow the same methods as above.
After leveling, use bricks, tiles or adobe to build a rockery with many gaps for scorpions to rest on top of the soil. A 2-inch wide plastic sheet is nailed around the inner wall of the box to prevent scorpions from escaping. Scorpions cannot crawl or run on any smooth surface.
Appearance characteristics of scorpions:
An adult scorpion looks like an eggplant. The surface of its body is covered with highly chitinous hard crispy skin. The adult scorpion is about 50 to 60 mm long. The segments are obvious, consisting of the cephalothorax and abdomen. The body is yellowish brown, the ventral surface and appendages are lighter in color, and the fifth segment of the posterior abdomen is darker in color. Most scorpions are dimorphic and have slightly different appearances.
The cephalothorax is composed of six sections and is a trapezoid. The cephalothorax and the anterior abdomen are combined together and are called the trunk. There is a cephalothorax on the back, which is densely covered with granular protrusions. There is a pair of cephalothorax in the center of the back. There are 3 lateral eyes on both sides of the front end and 6 pairs of appendages. The first pair is a whole limb that helps feed.
The second pair is long and thick crab claw-shaped horns, which are used for hunting, touch and defense. The remaining four pairs are walking legs, with the mouth located at the bottom of the ventral front cavity.
