A 60 gram black scorpion 50 thousand dollar a piece

. .
The wife and I were watching ARY News showing this today -- I was surprised at the pricing. I might as well move back and get into scorpion trade much better than insurance and dealing with people's headaches.
Seriously, Saw two black scorpion when I used to live in Rawalpindi. In hot summer day along the wall of backyard. They were really scary ... lol. But, I am surprise its very commonly found in hot region of Pakistan, specially potohar area.
I think its brilliant idea to raise little farm. Because its better to have direct and legal contract with foreign companies, rather risky black-market.

Pakistan has huge breading ground of black scorpion. Can earn millions every year due to huge demand in western pharmaceutical industry. The venom of this scorpion mostly use in cancer treatment. But right now huge illegal smuggling and available for sale in black market.
I saw ostrich farms in Malir. Pakistan is very different from what people think about Pakistan.

The expensive ones are the heavy ones and they reach that weight in about 10 years.

That's not a bad idea to be honest. Especially if the end use to farm is to help humanity with medications, etc.

These are things Government should be encouraging entrepreneurs to develop in the country using one's own natural resources. A lot of this could be started through universities as incubator business to provide funding and launch business + science students. It'll create jobs.

For heaven sake.
Please leave these critters.
Every single last of them has been taken from the fields.
Now none found.
Breed it at home in terrariums but dont pick from the wild.
People do keep them as pets. Easikh breedable.

It was similar to like that greedy man story, who in his greed cut open the hen to get all the golden eggs at once.

Excessive poaching of certain birds caused the recent locust infestation. When these scorpions vanish due to excessive hunting, it too will have a negative impact on the ecosystem because every natural creation has its uses.
Like synthetic diamonds, the scientists should work on creating synthetic versions of these precious compounds instead of extracting it from the venom of reptiles and insects.
