First, choose a big and strong male scorpion. As the saying goes: "The female scorpion has a good nest and the male scorpion has a good slope." It is best to keep them separately after mating. The scorpion nest for raising scorpions should be clean and quiet, the feed should be fresh and diverse, the temperature and humidity should be normal, and the density should be appropriately relaxed. Only in this way can we cultivate scorpions with strong body and good quality.

Secondly, there are small-scale pots, cans and boxes, as well as large-scale ponds, houses and honeycombs. No matter what kind of feeding method, the basic principle is to imitate the natural living environment of scorpions and create comfortable living conditions for scorpions. Pond culture is to build a brick pond and raise scorpions indoors or outdoors (to prevent rain). The specifications depend on the number of introduced scorpions. Generally, 560 mature scorpions need 1 m3 of space. The general dimensions of building ponds are: height 0.5 ~ 1 m, width 1 ~ 1.5 m, and the length can be adapted to local conditions. After the pool is completed, the wall of the pool does not need to be plastered with mortar to keep the pool surface rough, which is beneficial for scorpions to climb, crawl and inhabit inside. The outer wall of the pool can be blocked with a small amount of mortar to prevent scorpions from escaping from the gap. On the inside of the pond near the top, smooth materials can be embedded before the coated mortar dries to prevent scorpions from escaping from the top. The smooth material can be glass, plastic film, etc. The scorpion pond can be built into a multi-layer three-dimensional structure, and the general bait (Eupolyphaga sinensis or Tenebrio molitor, etc.). ) used for raising scorpions is 1 ~ 2 floors near the ground. There should be a spacing of 20 ~ 30 cm between each floor of the scorpion pond, which is convenient for operation and management. In the center of the pool, a brick, stone or tile is used to build a rockery for scorpions to inhabit, and enough space is left for scorpions to inhabit. The distance around the rockery from the pond wall should be about 15 cm to prevent scorpions from escaping by means of the rockery. There are many architectural styles of keeping scorpions in the house. Generally, mud houses built of adobe are 2-2.5 meters high, 4 meters long, 2.5 meters wide and 23-28 centimeters thick. The outer wall of the wall is sealed and reinforced with concrete such as lime and painted. It is best to use old adobe, with gaps of different sizes ranging from 0.5 cm to 2 cm wide between adobe. Don't plaster the inner wall so that scorpions can hide. Or use a special mold to make adobe with holes on one side, and 2 ~ 3 windows and a door can be opened on the south side of the wall. The top of the floor can be covered with fine barbed wire and then covered with plastic film, and bamboo mats or straw mats must be covered on it; Or cover the barbed wire with linoleum to prevent the enemy from invading and the barbed wire from rusting. Near the corner base, you can leave some small air holes leading to the outside of the floor, which can allow big scorpions and small scorpions to enter and exit freely. An annular protective ditch is built around the house at about 1 m, which is made by mixing cement, sand, lime and loess evenly. The width and depth of the ditch are 60 cm, and the distance between the water inlet and the water outlet is 60 cm and 40 cm respectively. There is water in the ditch all year round, which can prevent scorpions from escaping and ants from invading. In the house, it is necessary to put several strip-shaped or ring-shaped brick stacks with adobe bricks to form more gaps for scorpions to inhabit, but attention should be paid to leaving pedestrian passages. In addition to the drainage ditch and activity site, some equipment in the site also needs to be equipped with rodent and bird repellent equipment, insect traps in the feeding area and some gravel piles in the activity site to form a small environment suitable for scorpion activities. It is also necessary to pile up some wheat straw, rice straw and bean vines outside the activity site and fence, and mix them with proper amount of bran, rice sugar and pig manure and urine to breed some insects for scorpions to eat. Honeycomb-type Scorpion Breeding Traditional artificial scorpion breeding mostly adopts box-type breeding (that is, putting multiple layers of tiles in a smooth box), which has several fatal defects: First, pregnant scorpions are mixed in groups, which leads to mutual interference between male scorpions and pregnant scorpions, which makes pregnant scorpions restless, and young scorpions cannot safely pass the absorption and transformation period, and a large number of them fall off the back of female scorpions and die; Secondly, male scorpions, pregnant scorpions and female scorpions also eat many newborn scorpions, which makes the survival rate of scorpions not high; Thirdly, it is difficult to coordinate the adjustment of temperature and humidity, which often leads to high humidity (less water spraying and less evaporation), which seriously affects the reproduction and molting of scorpions, resulting in a large number of young scorpions dying because of inappropriate humidity and unable to molt, and many scorpion breeders fail to raise them. The method of raising scorpions in honeycomb overcomes the above shortcomings. In the structure of scorpion nest, this kind of scorpion nest is composed of inner and outer plates. The specification of the inner plate is 60cm× 2 1cm× 4cm, and four rows 15 rows (60) of 4cm× 3cm× 3cm grooves are evenly distributed on it. The specification of the outer plate is 60cm× 2 1cm× 2.5cm, and it is surrounded by eight groups of inner and outer plates (the inner plate is fixed with cement first, and then the outer plate and the inner plate are clamped together with iron clips to keep the inner plate fixed and the outer plate movable, which is convenient for capture and management), forming a honeycomb scorpion nest. From the outside, the scorpion nest is like a beehive, surrounded by eyes. When feeding, fill the holes surrounded by wooden boards with soil, plant flowers and plants, and then water them, which not only keeps the flowers beautiful, but also keeps the soil moist. In this way, pregnant scorpions naturally give birth in separate nests, which not only prevents the mother and son from interfering with each other, but also maintains the humidity (55% ~ 75%) required by the molting of young scorpions, which makes their growth and development environment closer to the natural environment and greatly improves the survival rate of young scorpions. Water is the medium of scorpion's life-sustaining activities, such as the progress of digestion, the transportation of nutrients, the discharge of waste, the regulation of body temperature and so on. At the same time, water is also an important environmental factor affecting the population dynamics of scorpions.

(1) There are three ways for scorpions to gain, lose and adjust water: First, they get a lot of water by eating, such as the water content in Tenebrio molitor is about 60%; Secondly, use body surface and lung pores to absorb water from humid atmosphere and humid soil; Third, substances in scorpions will generate water during metabolism. The first two ways are the main sources of water in the scorpion, so when the environmental humidity is normal and the food supply is sufficient, the scorpion does not need to drink water.

The main ways for scorpions to lose water are: through digestive and excretory system; Water is regulated by the gas exchanger of the respiratory system, and water is lost through the body wall. Scorpions regulate water mainly through insect structure, physiology and behavior.

(2) The influence of humidity and precipitation on scorpions. Different kinds of scorpions and the same kind of scorpions have their suitable humidity ranges at different development stages. Humidity has a great influence on their growth and development, especially on their reproduction and survival. At the same time, humidity and precipitation can also indirectly affect scorpions through natural enemies and food.

The influence of humidity on the development speed of scorpions is far less obvious than that of temperature, mainly because its blood has a certain ability to regulate metabolic water, and its food contains enough water during development, so its influence is more obvious only when the humidity is too high or too low and lasts for a certain period of time.

Humidity here has two meanings: ① Atmospheric humidity. Atmospheric humidity, also known as relative humidity, refers to the atmospheric humidity of the surrounding environment. Low or high atmospheric humidity will affect the contact of scorpions with water. ② Degree of soil diffusion. Soil moisture refers to the water content of soil in crab nests. Scorpions live in nests most of the time, and soil moisture has a great influence on scorpion's life activities. Scorpions are negative to humidity in normal environment and always climb to the dry end. But when the nest is dry for a long time and the body is short of water, it tends to be positive, and most of them gather at the wetter end.

Generally speaking, the scorpion's activity place should be wet, and their nest should be slightly dry, which is conducive to the growth, development and reproduction of scorpions. If the nest is too wet, it will be easily invaded by microorganisms, leading to diseases. In addition, it will be very difficult for scorpions to shed their skins. If the scorpion's activity place is too dry, and the water in the garbage-fed feed is insufficient, it will also affect the normal growth and development of scorpions and even induce cannibalism.
