When do snakes usually come out for activities?

Late spring to early winter.

Every year in mid-March, when the temperature stabilizes, it will wake up from hibernation, and from late April to early May, it will forage for food, molt, and mate, and in June, it will be active and start drinking, bathing, and foraging.

In July and August, most snakes leave their hibernation grounds and move to secluded waters. From September to October, they hunt heavily to increase the accumulation of nutrients in the body.

Snakes are generally active from late spring to early winter.

Details: Every year in mid-March, snakes hibernate and first wake up. From late April to early May, snakes go around foraging, molting, and mating.

In June, snakes are active and go out to forage, drink or bathe. From July to August, most snakes leave their hibernation sites and move to secluded water's edges, mostly in the early morning, late afternoon and at night. From September to October, snakes increase the accumulation of nutrients in their bodies by hunting heavily for food.

The pattern of snake activity varies with the climate. When the temperature of the environment drops, the snake raises its body temperature by basking in the sun and heating the lamp on the warm rocks until it burrows into the burrow to hibernate. When the ambient temperature rises. Snakes hide in shady places, on stones, under bricks, in water, or burrowing into burrows, causing their body temperature to drop.

The pigment in the snake** also plays a certain role in heat absorption.

Different snakes hibernate for different times. The order of hibernation is also related to gender and age, first female, then male, and finally young.

Snakes generally come out in late spring to early winter, depending on the region. Snakes in the northern region usually sting around the Qingming Festival, while in the southern region they sting around the time of the sting. In addition, in areas with warmer winter temperatures, snakes may emerge early in the fall to escape the cold winter months.

Snakes come out at any time of the day, and snakes can be seen during the day and at night.

Snakes usually begin to hibernate in a few months.

Snakes generally begin to hibernate in December. The hibernation period of snakes in our country is generally bored and enters hibernation around the morning, the specific time is from November to April of the second year of the lunar calendar, but there are also those who start hibernation in early December and emerge in early March of the following year. The length of the hibernation period depends on the length and severity of the cold season, with the snake hibernation period extending with increasing geographical latitude.

The hibernation time of the snake varies according to different species, for example, the hibernation period of the Zhejiang soldering iron head is from late November to the beginning of April of the second year of the second year, while the hibernation period of the silver krait snake is from December to the beginning of March of the second year.

Snakes usually come out in a few months.

In April and May every year, after the snake emerges, it begins to emerge from the burrow, and the first task is to find a mate and mate, and the glands at the base of the female oak snake and the tail can secrete a unique strong smell to attract the male snake to follow. Snakes are mostly oviparous, and a few are ovoviviparous. From the beginning of summer to the beginning of winter, snakes feed and reproduce, and the three months of the year are the busiest time for snakes to feed, and the predators are very wide, including all kinds of vertebrates.

The above is an introduction to the activities of snakes in which months they generally begin to hibernate and when snakes generally come out, I hope it will help you.

Who should compare when the temperature is high, the temperature in the morning is lower, the temperature is higher at noon, and it will come out at noon.

Snakes are cold-blooded animals, animals have warmth, winter must be warm at noon, summer is very hot when it is also like to be cool, morning or afternoon when the sun is better and will come out at night.

The habitat of snakes varies according to their habits. For example, the krait snake is mostly active in hills, mountains, and waters, and is mainly nocturnal, with fish, frogs, lizards, rats and snakes as its delicacies; The snake is mostly active in paddy fields, ponds and low-lying wetlands, and also at night, preying on rodents, lizards, frogs, fish (loach fish is the best) and other snakes. Cobras often move in the shrubs at the foot of hills and plains, at the base of walls, stone crevices, mounds, and sunny slopes, and prey on small mammals, birds and their eggs, lizards, frogs, fish and other snakes; The five-step snake mostly moves next to trees, in wet stone crevices, in weeds, and under rocks next to streams, and mainly hunts toads, frogs, rats and lizards for a living; Pit vipers mostly move around walls, ruins, villages or vegetable patches, and their main food is rats, birds, lizards, frogs, fish, etc. Bamboo leaf green is mostly active in hills and mountains, streams and grasses and shrubs, and is frequently active in the morning and evening, feeding on rats, birds, lizards, and frogs. In short, the living habits and activities of various snakes, especially venomous snakes, which are common in China are different (see Table 1-2).

Only by understanding the activities and living habits of various snakes can we breed snakes well and prevent venomous snake bites from occurring, so we must understand and master the living habits of snakes well. Snakes can be divided into three categories according to their diurnal activities: the first type is those that like to be active during the day, which is called diurnal snakes.

Such as cobra, king cobra, etc. The second type is afraid of bright light, prefers to be hidden during the day, and is active at night, which is called nocturnal snakes. Such as krait, silver krait, soldering iron head, etc.

The third type is the snake that likes to be active in low light conditions (mostly at night and rainy daytime, and has strong cold tolerance), called morning and dusk snakes. Such as five-step snakes, pit vipers, etc. Snake activity is much more affected by temperature than by light.

For example, the diurnal cobra often appears at night in very hot summers; Morning and dusk pit vipers are often seen in low temperatures, when the sun is shining around noon, and are rarely active at night. Generally speaking, the most suitable temperature for snake activity is between 20-30, and the optimal temperature for its activity is 10-35. More interestingly, snakes that live in the tropics are not only in winter"Hibernation", but also during the hot, dry summer months"Hibernation", as it is called in zoology"Summer hibernation"。

Why do snakes to proceed"Summer hibernation"It turns out that when the hot and dry season of the tropics arrives, ponds and lakes may dry up due to the lack of rain for a long time, and snakes, like geckos, crocodiles, lungfish, and turtles in the grasslands, depend on the conditions for survival. In order to adapt to the environment so that they can continue to survive, they turn in"Underground", deep dwelling in simplicity, not eating or moving, entering"Summer hibernation"state in order to survive the hot and dry summer.

The normal period of activity of snakes is from late spring to early winter.

Every year in mid-March, snakes hibernate and wake up. From late April to early May, snakes go around foraging, molting, and mating. In June, snakes are active and go out to forage for food, and from July to August, most snakes leave their hibernation places and move to secluded water's edges, and often come out in the early morning, evening and night.

From September to October, snakes hunt heavily to increase the accumulation of nutrients in their bodies.

Generally in early April, snakes begin to come out to forage at the end of March, or before the snake hibernates in autumn.

Where to place the snake cage:

1. The place with the most snakes is the ditch where there is no water, and the eye snake and the water law snake both like the ditch.

2. The edge of the paddock, the condition is that the edge of the paddock cannot be covered with grass, and it is all grass snakes that run away if it is inconvenient to walk.

3. Abandoned houses, abandoned houses are on the hill or on the side of the mountain, and there are snakes, and the conditions are the same as the paddock.

4. Where there are stone piles, where there are stone piles, there are snakes on the mountain, and it is difficult to say whether they can enter the cage.

5. Bamboo and fallen waste bamboo, if you see a waste bamboo on the mountain, and there is a vacancy at the bottom, there is a high chance of a snake.
