What to pay attention to when raising snakes and what to prepare for raising snakes

The snake market has soared, and the snake farming industry will be hot. With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, all kinds of snake products continue to be on the market, coupled with the gradual reduction of wild resources, artificial snake breeding is imminent, and the business of snake professionals from all walks of life in China is optimistic. Experts assert that in the next few years, the snake industry will be a leading era of in-depth development, large-scale breeding, comprehensive processing, and export to earn foreign exchange.

Since artificial snake breeding is a special breeding industry, the national snake breeding craze is in the ascendant. Therefore, it is recommended that farmers who want to raise snakes should pay special attention to the following issues. 1. The conditions for keeping snakes should be met.

Snake farming is limited to the suburbs or rural areas, and snakes cannot be kept in urban areas because of their serious environmental pollution. In addition, it is also necessary to have abundant small animal resources in the local area, preferably close to the riverside, reservoir area, pond, rice field, and place with good water conservancy conditions. 2 After doing a good job of market research, it is particularly important to master the snake breeding technology, if you want to raise a good snake, you must have a set of excellent snake breeding, building farms, and treating diseases.

It is recommended that you go to the local relevant departments that have been registered, and have raised snakes for many years, and have a good reputation for snake breeding farms to learn and introduce species. Do not go to the so-called "training center, base, company" and other places of unknown origin to learn or introduce seeds, so as not to spend money and not learn real skills. Selection criteria for 3 species of snakes.

Have a certain body length, strong and lively, fierce and energetic, full muscles, bright and bright patterns (except before the snake molts), and no disease and no injury are preferred.

First of all, let's talk about the equipment you need to prepare before buying a snake:

First of all, the breeding box is a must, there are many directions to choose from, climbing boxes, climbing cabinets, tool boxes, and finishing boxes, but if you buy snake seedlings, remember not to throw snake seedlings into a climbing box with a lot of space, so that snake seedlings are insecure and very afraid. If you're using a tool box or organizer, remember to make sure you have a good vent.

Heating equipment: heating pads, heating lamps, or overall heating can be used, here to explain the heating pad, the heating pad is a certain risk, such as leakage, it is recommended to put a reflective film under the heating pad, so that the gravity will be resolved, and the insulation effect is also OK, the heating pad is placed under the box.

Bedding material: This is very diverse, newspapers, A4 paper, toilet paper, restaurant paper, sawdust, kraft paper, bark, forest surface, etc., if you use sawdust, you should use poplar sawdust, don't go to the woodyard to pull some shavings and throw it inside, the consequences of snakes eating by mistake are very serious.

King snake, corn snake, ball python, red-tailed snake, of course, cattle snake is also relatively easy to raise, for some domestic easy to raise brown and black snakes and king snakes, although it is easy to raise, but there are too many wild snakes, and there are some artificially bred individuals are snake farm eliminated goods, or snake farm raised physique is not good, etc., resulting in not easy to raise, the above breed novice is recommended to raise large seedlings above the individual is relatively more stable, try to avoid small seedlings, a nest of snake seedlings have good physique and bad physique, as far as possible to buy half a year to more than a year of individuals, Many people will feel that raising it from an early age will be more affectionate Rest assured, even if you hatch it out of the egg, it will not have feelings for you. Relatively difficult to raise, more worrying. For the brown and black cobra can eat pork, it just proves that the brown and black cobra is a trash can, eat pork, but it does not mean that pork is not harmful to its body, high-fat pork will only lead to the early death of brown and black.

Snake breeding should pay special attention to the following points:

1. Be fully proficient in snake raising techniques (don't be deceived by fake snake places).

2. Reasonable construction of snake farms (no hibernation heating and summer cooling).

3. Snake breeds should be snake breeds with mature breeding technology.

Fourth, special attention should be paid to the quality and season of snake species when introducing species (identifying the quality of snake species is a necessary basic skill for every successful snake breeder).

Fifth, grasp the opening of young snake breeding.

6. Temperature management should be strengthened during the period of non-hibernation breeding.

7. Focus on preventing the occurrence of snake diseases, so as to achieve early detection and early isolation.

8. Explore the surrounding snake feed resources to minimize the cost of snake breeding.

9. Grasp the law of the snake market, do not follow the trend, and breed against the market.

10. Communicate more with people who have successfully raised snakes.

Breeding site: Snake breeding should choose a remote, high location and close to the water source, and build a high wall around it, and the wall should be smooth and seamless to prevent snakes from escaping and causing harm to others. Breeding environment:

You can use a combination of indoor and outdoor snake houses, try to imitate the natural environment of snakes living in the wild, and the snake houses should be dry and ventilated. Breeding equipment: need to prepare snake boxes, heaters, heating plates, food trays, thermometers, hygrometers, serum or snake venom ** drugs, etc.

Tips: Wild snakes belong to wild protected animals, and the protection of wild animals starts from themselves, 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.

1. For the pet snake that the novice has just purchased back, it is most important to conduct a period of feeding observation. If there are other pet snakes in the house, it is best to keep the newly purchased snakes in isolation and crack to prevent the new pet snakes from being infected with diseases and other pet snakes. Generally speaking, pet snakes that have just entered the house should not be fed in the first three or four hours, and wait until the pet snake can adapt to the new family living environment, and then give the pet snake food.

2. When it comes to feeding, the main foods that can be chosen for pet snakes are, Qingyou Yuanling frogs, rat gods, and so on. According to the living habits and taste preferences of snakes, pet snakes like to eat or food. For this reason, the food prepared for pet snakes should not be cooked or killed in advance, and live food should be put into the terrarium and let the pet snake prey on its own.

Of course, the volume of food prepared for pet snakes should not be too large, and it should be decided according to the size and appetite of the pet snake. However, the food prepared is smaller, and it does not cause any burden on the snake's stomach and digestive function, which is also very beneficial to the snake's growth.

3. Snake feeding does not need to be carried out every day, as long as the pet snake is fed every once in a while. During the period when the snake is not eating, the keeper still needs to prepare enough fresh drinking water for the snake to drink freely. In the process of raising pet snakes, in addition to giving pet snakes a proper diet and life management, the breeder also needs to place the pet snake in a cool and comfortable place, not in the sun or damp and cold place, which is very unhealthy for pet snakes.

4. It is necessary to refuse the exposure of the sun to the pet snake, but it is also very necessary to properly bask in the warm sun. Breeders can regularly sunbathe pet snakes to enhance their physique. At the same time, you can also regularly soak the pet snake in a warm bath, and the water temperature can be kept at 25 degrees Celsius.

This is very beneficial for maintaining the health and growth of your pet snake.
