How to distinguish farmed scorpions from wild scorpions

1. The difference in size:

Since wild scorpions live in the wild and in harsh living environments, the toxicity of the East Asian scorpion is much greater than that of farmed rainforest scorpions, and the medicinal effect is much higher. Generally, its price is higher than that of farmed pet scorpions.

Wild scorpions are not as big as pet scorpions. Some people raise rainforest scorpions until they are as big as the palm of your hand. They are well fed every day. Wild scorpions are very small. People who have caught scorpions in the mountains know that they are used as medicine. Although they are small, their medicinal value is higher than that of domestic scorpions.

If you want to keep them as pets, buy rainforest and emperor centipedes, which are large and less toxic. Many people keep large centipedes as pets, and they can be caught in the mountains. They are also East Asian scorpions. Domestic scorpion species are used for breeding. Wild scorpions cannot be used as breeding scorpions because wild scorpions are difficult to keep alive.

2. Difference in color:

People who want to raise scorpions are most afraid of being sold fake scorpions, that is, wild scorpions. Raising wild scorpions is a sure way to fail. The depth of the scorpion's color is related to the physique of the mother scorpion, the growth environment, and its own physique. It is normal for individuals of the same species to have different color depths. The fatness of the scorpion has nothing to do with wild breeding.

However, wild scorpions are slightly thinner, and farmed scorpions are fatter because they have enough food. Wild scorpions are also smaller, and farmed scorpions are larger, but it is difficult to tell the difference. The best way to distinguish between domestic scorpions and wild scorpions is to go to a scorpion farm. Small scorpion farms are mostly vendors selling wild scorpions. They buy wild scorpions in the summer, fatten them in the winter, and sell them to make a profit from the price difference.

3. Differences in living habits

Wild Scorpions:

It is difficult for wild scorpions to adapt immediately from the natural environment of the wild to the artificially created micro-ecological environment, and their normal physiological activities will inevitably be affected.

Breeding scorpions:

Farmed scorpions are more accustomed to the feeling of opening their mouths for food, and it is difficult for them to adapt to life in the wild.

The above is wrong! The depth of the scorpion's color is related to the physique of the mother scorpion, the growth environment, and its own physique. It is normal for individuals of the same species to have different colors.

The fatness of scorpions has nothing to do with wild scorpions. However, wild scorpions are slightly thinner, while captive scorpions are fatter because they have plenty of food.

The wild ones are also smaller, while the farmed ones are larger, but it is hard to tell if you compare them or not.

As long as there is no mold on the scorpion's surface, no broken tail or legs, and no physical deformities, it is fine whether it is for breeding or medicinal use.

It's hard to tell them apart. Farmed scorpions may be more uniform in size, while wild ones vary in size.

The color of farmed ones is lighter, while that of wild ones is darker.

Farmed ones are thinner, wild ones are fatter, but strong.

As far as I know, there is no difference

Can a centipede kill a rooster? My rooster died together with a big centipede. Why?

Methods for getting rid of centipedes Trichlorfon is an organophosphorus insecticide with low toxicity and a broad insecticide spectrum. It can be converted into dichlorvos in weak alkali, but it is unstable and loses its effectiveness quickly. It has a strong stomach poison effect on pests and has a contact killing effect. It is permeable to plants, but has no systemic conduction effect. 1. Like to live in groups: Centipedes have the habit of living together in groups of different sizes. Centipedes in the same group can live in harmony and rarely fight and kill each other. If the habitat is too small and there are too many centipedes, the old centipedes will automatically walk away and find another habitat. 2. Centipedes are timid and afraid of being startled. If they are slightly frightened, they will stop eating, flee from their nests, or curl up and not move. Female centipedes that are laying eggs will immediately stop laying eggs, while centipedes that are incubating eggs will eat the eggs contrary to their normal behavior after being frightened. 3. They like dark and humid places. Most wild centipedes live on hillsides, fields, roadsides, overgrown areas, or in firewood piles and gaps between tiles. They also often live in dark corners such as kitchen corners. Centipede footprints are also often seen under bricks and tiles around pig pens and chicken coops. 4. They live in their nests during the day and come out at night. The peak of centipede activity is from 8 to 12 o'clock in the evening. They usually return to their nests to rest before 4 o'clock in the morning. It is difficult to see centipedes after dawn. The centipede's eyesight is very poor during the day. It cannot see things that are a little far away clearly, so it is difficult to find food and defend against enemies. It only relies on a pair of slender tentacles extending forward to explore the way, and at night it also relies on tentacles to search for prey for food. 5. Licking habit. Centipedes often lick their antennae and legs with the dense hairs on the protrusions of the first maxilla and the base segment, the brush-like bristles on the back of the second maxilla, and the saliva from their mouths. They also lick their own nests clean. 6. Temperature. Centipedes are cold-blooded animals, and all their activities are often related to temperature. The optimum temperature for the growth and development of centipedes is 25℃～32℃. When the temperature is 11℃～15℃, centipedes reduce their foraging, stop mating, and lay eggs. When the temperature drops below 10℃, centipedes stop all activities, drill into the loose soil (or the soil in their nests), curl up, and hibernate. However, when the temperature rises to 33℃～35℃, all their activities are suspended due to the loss of water in the body. If the temperature rises above 36℃, the body loses too much water, causing the body to dry up and die. 7. Humidity: When the relative humidity of the air is 60% to 70% and the humidity of the nest soil is 10% to 20%, all the life activities of the centipede are most active, that is to say, this is the most suitable humidity for the growth and development of the centipede. The natural enemies of the centipede are mice, skinks, toads, ants, chickens and birds. Centipedes are slow in hatching and molting, and are easily taken advantage of by ants. They can be bitten to death and eaten in just a few hours, so it is necessary to prevent and control ants in advance. Therefore, it is most important to keep dry. Other things like realgar can also drive away centipedes. You can raise two chickens at home to help you eat centipedes at night~ and wake you up in the morning. . Hehe

Centipedes are poisonous. If a chicken is bitten by one, the poison will be so severe that it will die.

The centipede was so big that the chicken swallowed it to death

Centipedes breed in chicken stomachs

Chicken died of poisoning
