It is captured from late spring to early autumn, cleaned of mud and sand, boiled in boiling water or salt water until the body stiffens, removed, and placed in a ventilated place to dry.Also known as cha, kui, dubo, zhubu worm, chaowei worm, whole worm, fubei worm, scorpion.
Breeding Techniques
(1) Pot breeding: Use a large pot, fill it with water, place a smaller pot inside, put some soil in the smaller pot, and raise the scorpion in the smaller pot. This method is suitable for initial small-scale breeding.
(2) House breeding: The style and size of the scorpion house depend on the environmental conditions and the number of scorpions being bred. Generally, the house is about 3m long and wide, and about 2.6m high. There is one door in the front, 3-4 windows in the middle of the wall, and some small holes in the wall near the ground for the scorpions to enter and exit. About 1m away from the wall outside the house, dig a trench about 15cm deep to form a water-surrounded house to prevent the scorpions from running away. The scorpion house is built with adobe bricks, with gaps left between the bricks for the scorpions to inhabit, and the outside of the wall is sealed with mud. Inside the house, a layer of adobe bricks about 1.3m high is placed along the inner wall, with gaps left between the bricks for the scorpions to inhabit. Whether pot breeding or house breeding, it is important to do well in seeding work before the scorpions reproduce. The ratio should be about 1/3 or 1/4 male scorpions to 2/3 or 3/4 female scorpions.
(3) Rapid scorpion breeding method: Generally, scorpions need to go through 2 hibernations and 6 molting cycles before they can grow to maturity in 3 years. Now, methods of artificially controlling temperature, light, and humidity, providing sufficient food, and avoiding hibernation have been developed, and scorpions can mature in 1 year.
