Why do indoor scorpions gather in winter? 10

Scorpions have hibernation habits, generally in mid to late April, that is, after the sting, and in early November, they begin to slowly hibernate after the sting, and the annual activity time is about 6 months. During the day, the scorpions mostly come out after sunset from 8 to 11 p.m. and return to their nests at 2 to 3 a.m. the next day. This activity pattern is generally in the warm and windless nights with dry ground, and it is rarely active in windy weather.

Scorpions are ectothermic creatures though.

But they are still relatively hardy to cold and heat. The temperature of the external environment is between 40 and minus 5, and the scorpion can survive. The growth, development and reproduction of scorpions are closely related to temperature.

When the temperature drops below 10, the scorpions are less active, and when the temperature drops below 20, the scorpions are less active, and the most suitable temperature for their growth and development is between 25 and 39. The temperature is 35 39, the scorpion is the most active, the growth and development are accelerated, and the birth and mating are mostly carried out in this temperature range. If the temperature exceeds 41, the water in the scorpion's body is evaporated, and if it is not cooled down in time and does not replenish water in time, the scorpion is very prone to dehydration and death.

When the temperature exceeds 43, the scorpion dies quickly. Scorpion activity, growth and reproduction are closely related to temperature, and the optimal temperature is between 35 and 38. Therefore, we must pay attention to mastery when breeding scorpions in captivity.

Therefore, in winter, scorpions should be gathered for hibernation.

Because the temperature and humidity are very good.

That's because the temperature and humidity of that area are suitable.

Hope, thank you!

<> scorpions will begin to hibernate at 10 strokes. When the soil temperature drops below 10, the scorpion will dive to a suitable place 25-70 cm below the surface to start hibernation by relying on the nutrients stored in the body, so as to survive the winter safely.

Tips: Scorpions belong to wild protected animals, and the protection of wild animals starts from itself, refuses to buy and sell wild animal products, and does not interfere with the free life of wild animals. At present, the consumption of rare and endangered wild animals in society is not only a bad social habit, but also one of the reasons for the repeated prohibition of illegal hunting and killing of rare and endangered wild animals.

If there is no trade, there is no killing, and the consumption of wild animals is not eliminated, they do not belong on the table.

According to the different life forms of scorpions in the natural environment with seasonal climate change, the scorpion growth cycle chart can be divided into four different stages in a year: growth period, filling period, dormancy period and recovery period.

1) The growth period of Qingming Bailu (150 160 days) is the best period for the vegetative growth and reproductive growth of scorpions in a year, so it is called the growth period. After the Qingming Festival, the activity is most active during the summer solstice and summer season, which is the peak period of vegetative growth and reproductive growth, and most of the farrowing and mating are carried out during this period. The whole growth period is the first era in the life of the scorpion, and it is the actual growth and development stage of the year.

2) Filling period Autumn equinox The frost period (45 to 50 days) is the quasi-stage before the wild scorpion stores nutrients and dehydrates the body, so it is called the filling period. After the autumnal equinox, the temperature gradually drops, and the scorpion eats as much as possible during this period, trying to eat as much as possible, and in turn the fatty nutrients it obtains to provide for nutrient consumption during the dormant and recovery periods. At the same time, he uses methods to concentrate the fluid in the body and skillfully completes the dehydration of the body.

There are generally two methods of body dehydration: one is to excrete excess water from the body through fecal excretion; The other is to ingest a certain amount of weathered soil, which is used to absorb free water that does not participate in somatic cells in the body, so that it will not freeze to death even if the temperature is below freezing during the dormant period. During this period, although the food intake of the scorpion increased, there was little progress in growth and development.

3) Dormant period Lidong rain (120 130 days), during which the growth and development of the scorpion is completely stopped and is in a state of curling, so it is called the dormant period or dormant period. After the frost falls, the weather has turned colder, and as the temperature continues to drop, the activity of the scorpions gradually decreases, and in late autumn and early winter, they stop looking for good and enter hibernation. Most of them lurk in the fossa 30-80 cm deep above the ground.
