Scorpion breeding farm

[Naira]

Hello! I want to start a scorpion breeding farm. Can anyone here help me?

If you're looking to start a scorpion breeding farm to collect venom you should know that's a scam. Scorpion is very valuable by weight but there isn't a high demand for it, and it has to be collected and stored in a very specific way. Researches who are doing studies on venom only need a small amount at a time because they're usually studying specific proteins, there are also already facilities that provide enough venom samples to meet the demand. Researchers are more likely to go with these companies or just raise the scorpions themselves because raising scorpions is very easy, and they need to have information such as the exact species, sometimes the exact locality, the molecular weight and composition of the venom, and they need to ensure it's properly stored and sometimes purified to isolate specific components of the venom. There's just no reason why researchers would buy scorpion venom off of a hobbyist breeder in the amounts people try to sell it in.

Here's a good link on more info, though this one is specifically about farms in Iran, there are definitely other countries that got swept up in it.
