How do you get started with scorpion farming? A detailed beginner's guide

First, determine the farming scale and method: when starting out, the number of breeding scorpions introduced should not be too large; generally 300-500 at the low end and 2000-3000 at the high end is advisable. Too few scorpions means relatively high management costs, while too many means inexperience can easily lead to poor management and unexpected losses. As for farming methods, in terms of the farming environment they can be divided into indoor scorpion farming and outdoor scorpion farming; beginners should choose the indoor method. In terms of farming containers, there are basin culture, pond culture, pit culture, bottle culture and box culture; when introducing breeding stock, beginners should best use basin culture first, then transition to pit culture or pond culture. In addition, scorpion farming can be either constant-temperature or ambient-temperature; each method has its pros and cons, so you can choose according to your own circumstances.

Second, attend training and visit farms: although scorpion farming is not complicated, it is a rather meticulous job, and many details are hard to express in writing; it is very difficult to figure them out thoroughly just by reading materials. Anyone who wants to farm scorpions must receive systematic training and visit professional farms for on-site study in order to truly master scorpion farming techniques.

Third, before introducing breeding stock, raise yellow mealworms in advance, and at the same time prepare the scorpion house and scorpion nests.

Finally, pay attention to some issues when introducing breeding stock:

1. Scorpions generally give birth from the 4th to the 8th lunar month, and the best season for introducing breeding stock is from late in the 4th lunar month to early in the 5th lunar month; introducing them too early easily causes unnecessary losses.

2. The current market price of cleaned whole scorpions is 400-450 yuan/kg, but many individuals or companies speculating in breeding stock, under the guise of high-price buyback (promising buyback prices as high as over 600 yuan per kg), supply breeding stock at high prices; those introducing breeding stock must see through their true nature to avoid being cheated.
