The living habits of Scorpion

1. Scorpions belong to animals that lie dormant during the day and come out at night. They are afraid of being dry in the tide and afraid of strong light stimulation in the dark. Like to live in groups, very quiet and motionless, and have the habit of knowing the nest and recognizing the group, most scorpions live together in fixed nests. Generally speaking, in large groups of scorpion nests, there are mostly male and female, big and small, live in harmony, and rarely kill each other. But if it is not the same nest of scorpions, they tend to kill each other after meeting.

2. Scorpions have the habit of hibernating, usually in the middle and last ten days of April, that is, after waking, they begin to hibernate slowly in early November, and the activity time for the whole year is about 6 months. During the day, scorpions usually come out from 8pm to 11:00 after sunset and return to their nests at 2am to 3am the next day. This kind of activity is usually in the warm, windless, dry night, but rarely comes out in windy weather.

3. Although scorpions are variable temperature animals, they are still more resistant to cold and heat. Scorpions can survive at temperatures ranging from 40 ℃ to minus 5 ℃. The growth, development and reproduction of scorpions are closely related to temperature. When the temperature dropped below 10 ℃, the scorpion became inactive, and when the temperature was below 20 ℃, the scorpion had less activity, and the most suitable temperature for their growth and development was between 25 and 39 ℃. When the temperature is 35-39 ℃, the scorpion is the most active and the growth and development is accelerated. The birth and mating are mostly in this temperature range. When the temperature exceeds 41 ℃, the water in the scorpion is evaporated. If the temperature is not cooled in time and the water is not replenished in time, the scorpion is prone to dehydration and death. Scorpions die quickly when the temperature exceeds 43 ℃. The activity, growth and reproduction of scorpion are closely related to temperature, and the optimum temperature is between 35 and 38 ℃. Therefore, we must pay attention to master when we breed scorpions in captivity.

4. The growth and reproduction of scorpions are also closely related to the humidity of the external environment. Wild scorpions in nature, if there is no rain for a long time, they will go to a wet place about 1 meter underground to hide and hide; when there is water on the ground in cloudy and rainy weather, they will climb to higher ground to hide. Therefore, when raising scorpions, we should pay close attention to the moisture of feed and the humidity of feeding grounds and nests. Generally speaking, the activity places of scorpions are more wet, while the nests where they live are required to be slightly drier, which is conducive to the growth, development and reproduction of scorpions. If the nest is too wet, it is easy to be attacked by microorganisms, and it is also very difficult for scorpions to molt their skin; if the activity place of scorpions is too dry, and when there is not enough water in the feed, it will also affect the normal growth and development of scorpions, and even induce each other to kill each other.

5. Scorpions like to be afraid of light, especially the stimulation of strong light, but they also need a certain amount of light in order to absorb the heat of the sun, improve digestion, accelerate the speed of growth and development, and facilitate the hatching process of embryos in pregnant scorpions. According to reports and observations, scorpions have a positive trend for weak light and a negative trend for strong light, but they prefer to move under weaker green light.

6. Scorpions have a strong avoidance to all kinds of strong odors, such as paints, gasoline, kerosene, asphalt and various chemicals, pesticides, fertilizers, quicklime and so on. It can be seen that their sense of smell is very sensitive, and the stimulation of these substances is very disadvantageous to scorpions, even fatal. Scorpions are also very sensitive to all kinds of strong vibrations and sounds, and sometimes even scare them away, stopping feeding, mating, breeding, giving birth, and so on.

The prospect of scorpion culture

From the development history of artificial scorpion breeding in China, before the early 1980s, it was mainly to meet the needs of the medicinal material market. Since the mid-1980s, in addition to a few continue to meet the needs of the development of traditional Chinese medicine, a large number of scorpion products are consumed as food and health supplements.

Although scorpion is widely distributed in China, with the prosperity of traditional Chinese medicine market and the gradual development of human economic value of scorpion, as a traditional valuable medicine, the social demand of scorpion is increasing day by day. In addition, on the one hand, excessive artificial capture led to a sharp decline in the number of natural populations, on the other hand, the continuous destruction of the ecological environment and the extensive use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers led to the continuous deterioration of the natural living environment of scorpions and the decline of food sources. it leads to the intensification of the contradiction between social demand and output supply. Therefore, from the early 1950s, China began the experimental research work of artificial scorpion breeding, and made gratifying progress, and a large number of professional scorpion farmers appeared in Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other provinces, taking the lead on the road of well-off.

As scorpions reproduce rapidly, they can give birth to two babies a year, each giving birth to more than 20 scorpions, so the sales rate of scorpions is also increasing year by year, like snowballs, more and more. If every cubic meter space throws 600 kinds of scorpion, can breed commodity scorpion at least 10 thousand to the second year, can make dry scorpion about 10 kilograms, national purchase price plastic per kilogram about 400 yuan, deduct various expenses (such as introduction of scorpion, facility investment, feed, etc.) 3000 yuan, at least pure income 1000 yuan; use spare time to raise scorpion, a person can manage 10 cubic meters of space scorpion, the annual income is not less than 10, 000 yuan. Moreover, if you introduce the seed once, you don't need to buy the seed again, and you can benefit from it all your life.

Artificial raising scorpion is one of the key promotion projects of the National Spark Program, which is exempted from tax for a long time. The technology of raising scorpions artificially can be quickly mastered by ordinary people through short-term study. There is no need to worry about the market. It is a relatively safe family sideline. Therefore, artificial scorpion breeding has developed rapidly in many provinces and cities across the country, and it is regarded by the majority of farmers as a new way to get rich with small area, less investment, less labor and considerable income.

Introduction techniques of Scorpion

1. Introduction time: the introduction time of scorpion raised at room temperature should be arranged in late spring and early summer or autumn. Among them, the introduction in late spring and early summer is the best, because at this time the hibernating scorpion has been stung, passed the "spring death", and the adult female scorpion has entered the pregnancy and can give birth in the same year. Introduction can benefit from the same year.

2. the source of scorpion: one is to catch wild scorpion or buy back wild scorpion as scorpion. The second is to buy from artificial scorpion raising units or individuals. For beginners, it is not advisable to use wild scorpions as scorpions.

3. Selection of scorpions: when introducing species of scorpions, young scorpions, adult scorpions or pregnant scorpions should be selected and purchased according to their needs. Male scorpions should choose strong physique, bright body color, lively and powerful, strong sexual desire to do scorpion. The female scorpion should choose a large, body length of more than 4.8 cm, no limb disability, strong, agile movement, static hindquarters curled up, foreabdomen hypertrophy, shiny skin to do scorpion. In general, the female scorpion in spring, as long as the front abdomen is fat and full, light gray, the body length is about 5 cm, the birth rate is relatively high, and the delivery period is early. The female scorpion whose body is too short, even if it has a big belly and positive color, should not easily choose to make seeds, because its breeding period is often late and can not meet the requirements of seed production.

4. The collocation of male and female: it is wrong for some farmers to choose only female scorpion rather than male scorpion in order to get more baby scorpions. According to the mating rule of scorpion, the proportion of female and male scorpion should be 2-3 ∶ 1.
