How to breed scorpions in greenhouses? A skilled man successfully breeds scorpions in greenhouses

Everyone has a different concept of success in raising scorpions. Is it enough to just raise the scorpions? I have been raising scorpions for several years. I have a greenhouse and a hothouse.

How long is the growth cycle of scorpions and what is the suitable environment for their growth?

Artificially bred scorpions usually take 2-3 years to grow into commercial scorpions, and their growth period is from June to September each year. Scorpions are ovoviviparous, and the fertilized eggs can complete their development in the body in about 120 days, giving birth to baby scorpions. Scorpions need a warm environment during the development of the embryo. When the baby scorpions are just born, their appendages and tails will be folded on their abdomens. When the liquid on the surface of the baby scorpions dries up, they will start to stretch and move.

1. How long is the scorpion growth cycle?

1. It takes about 2-3 years for artificially cultivated scorpions to become commercial scorpions. They grow from June to September each year. The temperature during this period is very suitable for scorpion growth. When the weather gets cold, scorpions will enter hibernation. If you use a greenhouse to raise scorpions, you can keep the temperature constant at around 28-35°C. This will make the scorpions more active and have a strong appetite. The growth cycle will also be accelerated from the original 2-3 years to 8-10 months.

2. Scorpions are ovoviviparous. The fertilized egg will complete embryonic development in the body in about 120 days and produce baby scorpions. Scorpions need a warm environment during embryonic development. When giving birth, the third and fourth legs will straighten, the first and second legs will be clasped inward, the head, chest and front abdomen will tilt forward close to the ground, the comb plates will droop, and the reproductive organs will be open. The baby scorpions are born in turn in the embrace of the two legs, usually not touching the ground for a while, and 4-5 are produced in a batch.

3. When the baby scorpion is just born, its appendages and tail will be folded on the abdomen to form an oval shape. When the fluid on the baby scorpion's body dries up, it will start to stretch and move, crawling along the mother scorpion's head and thorax and pedipalps to the mother scorpion's back. When the environment is suitable, the mother scorpion will give birth once every half an hour or so. Generally, a scorpion can give birth to 10-30 scorpions in one litter, and some can give birth to more than 30 scorpions. Generally, the average birth is about 20 scorpions.

2. What kind of environment is suitable for scorpions to grow in?

1. Scorpions mainly live in places where the vegetation is sparse, with some grass and shrubs, and some scorpions also live in tropical rainforests and deserts. Generally, there are fewer or even no scorpions in places with trees, weeds, excessive humidity, no rocky or soil hills, or no soil and rock hills, and many ants. Scorpions are nocturnal animals, they like moisture but are afraid of dryness, they like darkness but are afraid of strong light stimulation. They like to live in groups, prefer quietness and are not active, and usually live in natural crevices or caves. They are very cold-resistant and heat-resistant.

2. The growth, development and reproduction of scorpions are related to temperature. When the temperature drops below 10°C, scorpions will not move frequently. When the temperature is below 20°C, scorpions will move less frequently. The optimum temperature for their growth and development is around 25-39°C. Generally, scorpions are most active when the temperature is 35-39°C, and their growth and development will also accelerate. When the temperature exceeds 43°C, scorpions will soon die.

3. Scorpions have the habit of migration. If the habitat is not suitable, they will migrate and escape. If wild scorpions encounter long-term drought without rain and low humidity, they will hide in moist cracks about 1m deep underground. If they encounter rainy weather, water on the ground, and humidity in the nest exceeds 80%, the scorpions will leave the nest and climb to a high place without water to avoid water.
