Farming scorpions

Gast

Hello,

We want to start in The Netherlands an insects farm with edible Scorpions. Does anyone know something about it? I can not find any information about it.

• Is it possible?
• What is the process?
• Is profitable?

Hope that someone can help me.

Hi Gast, - There are a lot of different scorpions & I do not raise them. Look over this left hand of page list & click to see their picture - http://www.ntnu.no/ub/scorpion-

An article with a large comment thread may give you a good idea of what people encounter. See http://blogs.thatpetplace.com/thatreptileblog/2009/03/18/breeding-emperor-scorpions/#.V_A-nY1kA5s

Once you get them mated they can lay plenty (!) of eggs based on some of the pictures hobby breeders have posted online. Take a look through these links & maybe you will be reassured farming spiders can be done: http://arachnoboards.com/forums/breeding-reports.40/ ... http://scorpionforum.darkbb.com/f19-breeding-reports ...
