How do baby snakes survive the winter? Hurry, how to raise snakes for the winter, how to raise snake

In order to obtain greater economic benefits or to master the new technology of off-season breeding of young snakes, and further lay the foundation for large-scale snake breeding, qualified snake farms often break the hibernation period of young snakes to make them grow as soon as possible. Because of the strong cold tolerance of the king snake, coupled with the advantages of wide food, strong breeding plasticity and high winter price, it is one of the main snakes that people take the lead in including the young snake of the king snake in the winter breeding range. However, it is worth noting that it is safer to break the hibernation period of young snakes by taking a gradual approach.

The specific operation method is that the cooling can be taken on the 10th evening of the late autumn of the year, so that the young snakes enter hibernation 10 days later; In the spring of the following year, 10 to 15 days of early warming are adopted, forcing young snakes to emerge early. Do not break the habit of hibernation of young snakes all at once, after all, young snakes are different from adult snakes, and their tolerance is not too ideal. Blindly restricting its hibernation time can easily cause its normal growth pattern to fall into temporary chaos, which is not conducive to the normal needs of young snakes.

If the hibernation time of young snakes is shortened year by year, so that they have a certain adaptability, the purpose of safely breaking the hibernation of young snakes, prolonging their growth time and shortening the breeding cycle can be achieved. The snake farm (household) located in the south of the Yangtze River does not have much impact on it due to the short hibernation time. If the feeding conditions can be met, you might as well simply let the young snakes not hibernate.

1. When the snake hibernates, the temperature in the snake nest should be kept at 5-10, and when the temperature is higher than 10, the snake hibernation is restless, and the metabolism is strengthened, which increases the consumption of nutrients in the snake's body, which is not conducive to hibernation; When the temperature is lower than 5, the snake tends to freeze to death. Before winter, the snake nest and snake box should be cleaned up, and the sand and soft bedding should be replaced and thickened. During hibernation, the snake nest or snake box can be covered with plastic film, hay, straw, or electric lights can be installed in the snake house to raise the temperature.

When the temperature is too low, it is not advisable to use the stove fire to bake directly for heating, but to use heating to heat indirectly; When the temperature is too high, you can open the ventilation window with a high position in the snake room to cool the indoor air and outdoor air by convection, and at the same time remove the plastic film and straw covering the box and nest, but be careful not to blow the cold air directly into the snake body.

2. The snake farm should use the snake nest, snake room, snake box, and snake pool for the snake to overwinter, and it is easy to regulate the temperature and humidity of such a place for hibernation, and it is easy to observe the condition of the snake hibernation, which can make the snake hibernate safely. The method of using the stone caves in the garden, or digging artificial caves for snakes to spend the winter, is simple, but the temperature and humidity are not easy to control, and it is not conducive to people to observe the situation of snakes wintering, so this method of wintering is not advisable.

3. During the hibernation period of snakes, in addition to monitoring temperature and humidity, it is also necessary to regularly check the enemies in snake nests, snake boxes or snake pools, and pay attention to eliminating rats, scorpions and ants. Also, pay attention to the health of the snake. However, it is not advisable to check too much, and do not turn over the hidden snake during the inspection to minimize the interference of the hibernating snake.

4. During the hibernation period of the snake, in addition to paying attention to heat preservation, we should also pay attention to the humidity, because the humidity of the hibernation place is also very important, generally kept at 40%-45%, but the spring bend can be too low, otherwise the air is too dry, affecting the normal breathing of the snake when hibernating. At the same time, it should not be too wet, because the humidity will cause the temperature in the nest to drop. A basin of water can be placed in the nest or box, which can regulate the humidity on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can be used for the snake to drink.

5. When the outside temperature gradually rises to more than 10, the snakes will gradually wake up and gradually carry out activities. Once the snake starts to move, the temperature in the room and room cannot be lowered, otherwise the snake may enter hibernation and consume a lot of nutrients, which is not good for the snake's body. Therefore, it is necessary to try to heat up at this time, so that the snake will wake up completely and no longer hibernate.

After hibernation, the nutrients in the snake are greatly depleted, so the body is weak and has poor disease resistance, and it is easy to die due to pneumonia. In order to reduce the death of snakes, once the snake begins to move and prey, it is necessary to feed the animals that the snake likes to eat, and provide sufficient drinking water, and add snake health to the drinking water. Practice has shown that this measure has a significant effect on improving the disease resistance of snakes and reducing the occurrence of pneumonia and stomatitis in snakes.

<> "I. The Living Habits of Snake Xiangbu.

Snakes are reptiles that are found all over the world, with an elongated body with no limbs and no forelimb belts.

The Sagittarius snake is an ectothermic animal whose body temperature changes with air temperature, and it itself does not have a perfect thermoregulatory mechanism to produce and maintain a constant body temperature.

For snakes, the most suitable living temperature is 20 30, too high or too low will affect the growth and development of snakes.

Snakes generally mate in early spring and early summer, and lay eggs and hatch in summer, otherwise the young snakes do not have enough time to accumulate enough fat to survive hibernation. Baby snakes born after September have a mortality rate of up to 50%.

2. How do snakes prepare for winter?

Snakes will store enough nutrients in the body in the fall, and in early winter they will not eat or drink and start hibernation, generally for about 3 months, until the temperature rises to a certain level, and the snake will start to move again.

When the temperature drops below about 13 in late autumn, wild snakes must find various underground burrows to hibernate, because the temperature change underground is relatively small, which is suitable for snakes to hibernate.

For the elimination of artificially bred snakes, it is best to prepare a constant temperature breeding place for snakes to hibernate, so that the snakes can survive the winter smoothly.

There are many types of snakes, some are highly venomous, some are non-venomous, you must pay attention to safety when you are in the wild, do not go to too deep grass, so as not to step on the snake and be bitten, if you are unfortunately bitten, you must seek medical attention in time.
