Are snakes easy to raise? How can I raise a snake?
Water is very important to snakes, and a large enough vessel must be placed in the snake box for a long time to hold water. Water is easily polluted by snake excrement, so it is best to change the water once a day or every other day. Most snakes like to soak in water, often in water, and your snake will feel very comfortable and can't get rid of its skin.
Spreading newspapers, blankets and pebbles on the box can make the cleaning of the box much easier; Give a snake a stable place, use a half-cut furnace, or put some branches. As for other decorations such as rocks and plants, it depends on everyone's hobbies, so that snakes can live comfortably and have visual charm.
Different kinds of snakes have different kinds of food, and some wild species should not be played when they are brought home. They must keep quiet for a few days before feeding. For example, walking snakes mainly feed frogs and fish; Golden snakes eat mice and eggs; Pythons eat live bait such as mice, rabbits and even poultry. Pay attention to a problem. Snakes are very quiet animals. Don't touch them in front of them when eating, and don't fight in front of them, otherwise it will destroy their appetite, spit out food, and cause harm to their esophagus and mouth. Usually once or twice a week. Remember not to play with snakes after eating, otherwise it is easy to vomit and cause internal esophageal injury.
A detailed analysis of the food intake of snakes in the active period from April to 165438+ 10 shows that the food intake of snakes is roughly as follows: if the food intake of snakes in April is regarded as 1, it will be1.5 ~ 2.5 in the early days of snakes' appearance, that is, in May; June was basically the same as last month, maintaining at 2.5 copies; The weather is hottest in July, and the snake's food intake is reduced to 2-2.3 portions. August is early autumn, the weather is still very hot, and the food intake is the same as that in July; However, in September and June, 65438+1October, the snake's food intake soared to 3-5 servings. As the saying goes, "autumn wind blows three snakes' fat", which truly reflects the actual situation of snakes growing fat. In addition, winter is coming, and snakes need to eat a lot of fat to spend a long hibernation. 165438+ The weather is getting colder in October. At the beginning of the month, the snake's food intake was still very large, but about 20 days before hibernation, the snake's food intake was obviously reduced, or even stopped eating, so the food intake of 165438+ 10 was only about 3 servings. Heating is also the best way to promote snakes to eat normally and overwinter in winter, but generally speaking, from June 165438+ 10 to March of the following year, even if it is heated, the number of times snakes eat is relatively small, which is only determined by biological species, so don't worry. On the contrary, frequent feeding will accelerate metabolism and cell wear, aggravate aging and shorten life span.
Try not to suddenly touch the snake above it, and don't wave your hands in front of it. Snakes are sensitive and suspicious, and their natural enemies mainly come from the air and in front, otherwise they will mistake you for danger and attack you. To catch a snake, follow the scales on the snake's body, pick it up from its abdomen and gently take it out, so that it can get as many support points as possible, so that it will think that you are friendly and safe, and the snake will be entangled in its hands. Even a fierce snake will treat you as a friend. After a long time, the snake will get used to these movements and your smell, and will gradually tame it.
