There are many ways to breed scorpions, including pot culture, tank culture, and box culture on a small scale, and pond culture, room culture, and hive culture on a large scale. Regardless of the breeding method, the basic principle is to simulate the natural living environment of scorpions and create comfortable living conditions for them. The following introduces the methods of pond culture, house culture and beehive culture respectively: 1. The pond culture method is indoors or outdoors (a shed should be built outdoors to prevent rainwater) with a brick-built pool. The specifications depend on the number of introduced scorpion seedlings. Generally, for 560 adult scorpions, 1 cubic meter of space is required. The common dimensions of a pool are: 0.5 to 1 meter high and 1 to 1.5 meters wide. The length can be determined according to local conditions.

After the pool is built, the inner wall of the pool does not need to be plastered with mortar to keep the pool surface rough, which is convenient for scorpions to climb, crawl and inhabit inside. A small amount of mortar can be used to block the brick joints on the outer wall of the pool to prevent scorpions from escaping through the gaps. Before the mortar applied dries, a smooth material can be inlaid on the inside of the pool near the middle of the roof to prevent scorpions from escaping from the roof. Smooth materials can be glass, plastic film, etc. The scorpion pond can be built into a three-dimensional structure with several layers. Generally, the 1 to 2 layers near the ground are used to feed scorpion feed (such as earthworms or mealworms, etc.). There should be a distance of 20 to 30 centimeters between each layer of the scorpion pond for operation and management. Use bricks, stones or tiles to build a rockery for scorpions to inhabit in the center of the pool, and leave enough gaps for scorpions to inhabit. There should be a distance of about 15 centimeters around the rockery from the pool wall to prevent scorpions from escaping through the rockery. 2. Room-style scorpion farming has many architectural styles. It is usually a mud house built with adobe bricks, with a height of 2 to 2. 5 meters, a length of 4 meters, a width of 2.5 meters, and a wall thickness of 23 meters. ~28 cm, the outer wall of the wall should be sealed and reinforced with lime and other three-component soil, and then painted.

It is best to use old adobe bricks. Leave gaps between the bricks with a width of 0.5 to 2 centimeters without plastering mud. Do not paint the inner walls so that scorpions can hide. Or use a special mold to make homemade adobe bricks with holes on one side, and 2 to 3 windows and a door can be opened on the south side of the wall. The top of the layer can be covered with fine wire mesh, and then covered with plastic film. The film must also be covered with bamboo mats or straw mats; or the wire mesh can be covered with oil felt to prevent enemies from intruding and the wire mesh from rusting. Some small holes can be left near the base of the wall corner to the outside of the layer, allowing large and small scorpions to enter and exit freely. Build an annular protective trench about 1 meter away from the house. Mix cement, sand, lime and loess and build it. The width and depth of the ditch are each 60 cm, and the water inlet and outlet are 60 and 40 cm from the bottom of the ditch respectively. Keep water in the trench all year round to prevent scorpions from escaping and ants from invading. It is also necessary to use adobe bricks to place several strips or circular stacks of bricks in the house to form more gaps for scorpions to inhabit, but be careful to leave a pedestrian walkway. In addition to drainage ditches and activity venues, some of the equipment in the venue also need to install rodent and bird repellent equipment, install insect traps in the breeding area, and build some gravel piles in the activity venue to form a small environment suitable for scorpions. It is also necessary to pile some wheat straw, rice straw, and bean vines in the activity venue and outside the fence, and mix them with an appropriate amount of bran, rice sugar, and pig and horse excrement to breed some insects for the scorpions to eat. 3. Beehive-type scorpion farming method. Traditional artificial scorpion farming mostly adopts box-type farming (that is, placing multiple layers of tiles in a smooth box). It has several fatal flaws:

First Pregnant scorpions are mixed and raised in groups, causing male scorpions and expectant scorpions to interfere with the birthing scorpions, making the birthing scorpions uneasy. The scorpions cannot safely survive the absorption and metamorphosis period, and fall off the mother's back and die in large numbers; Secondly, male scorpions, pregnant scorpions and female scorpions also eat a large number of newborn scorpions, which makes the survival rate of the scorpions low; thirdly, the control of temperature and humidity is not easy to coordinate, which often results in high humidity (spraying water) caused by high temperature. less, evaporated to dryness), which seriously affects the reproduction and molting of scorpions, causing a large number of young scorpions to die due to inappropriate humidity and being unable to shed their skins. Many scorpion breeders have failed to raise them because of this. The hive-type scorpion raising method overcomes the above shortcomings.

In terms of the structure of the scorpion nest, this kind of scorpion nest is composed of two layers of inner and outer boards. The dimensions of the inner board are 60 cm × 21 cm × 4 cm. There are 4 columns and 15 rows (60 pieces) of 4 cm × 3 cm evenly distributed on it. ×3 cm slot,

The dimensions of the outer panel are 60 cm × 21 cm × 2.5 cm, with 4 columns and 15 rows (60 holes) of 1 cm × 1 cm evenly distributed on it. The inner and outer panels Taken together, one hole is aligned with one slot (i.e., a single-room small scorpion chamber). Surround it with eight sets of inner and outer panels (first use cement to fix the inner panels, and then use iron clamps to clamp the outer panels and inner panels together so that the entire scorpion nest can keep the inner panels fixed and the outer panels movable for ease of use) Capture and management) form a honeycomb scorpion nest.

From the outside, a scorpion nest looks like a honeycomb, surrounded by eyes. When raising, fill the hollow surrounded by boards with soil, plant flowers and plants, and then water them to not only grow flowers and view the scenery, but also keep the soil moist. This method allows pregnant scorpions to naturally divide their litters and give birth to young, preventing the mother from interfering with each other and maintaining the humidity (55% to 75%) required for the young scorpions to shed their skin, making the environment for their growth and development closer to that of The natural environment greatly improves the survival rate of scorpions. Scorpions eat other insects. You can raise them with live insects as feed (such as woodworms and mealworms)
