How do you raise snakes? Building a snake house and raising young snakes

Building a snake house: build a multi-storey three-dimensional underground snake house with an underground depth of 1-2m. Autumn and winter foster care: dig the pond and pile it with soil or cover it with corn straw to help the snake survive the winter. Reproduction and hatching: every year from the beginning of June to the end of August, the hatching temperature is controlled at about 20 ℃-27 ℃, the humidity is 74% Mel 95%, and the hatching is about 25-55 days. Raising young snakes: young snakes only need to be fed with water, and after 5 days, they can be fed with insects, earthworms and other food.

Snake meat is very delicious and is a valuable dish. Snake meat also has the function of nourishing and invigorating the stomach. With the improvement of people's living standards, consumption power and pursuit, raising snakes has become a good special breeding project in recent years.

I. Construction of a three-dimensional snake house

1. Snakes need a safe and comfortable snake nest, so it is necessary to build a multi-storey three-dimensional underground snake room for snakes. The depth of the snake room should be 1m-2m underground, and ordinary bricks are regularly stacked together to form a 9-14-story underground snake room, which can provide snakes with a free choice to live in.

2. A snake is a kind of snake that, after a full meal, curls up in its nest for several days in a row, sometimes without moving for more than ten days. It is not until the food in the snake's belly is completely digested that it moves again and crawls out of the snake's nest to find food and drink water.

3. The snake house built can expand the area of cultivation, increase the number of snakes, and be able to catch snakes and sell them on the market at any time in early spring and the depths of winter.

Second, autumn and winter foster care

1. when snakes enter hibernation in autumn and winter, snakes are collected and sold before they are stung in the coming year. The price of snakes is the highest in February and March each year, 2-3 times higher than usual.

2. First dig a pool 6m long, 2.5m wide and 1m deep, dig several square pools with a depth of 0.3m on both sides of the pool, then dig a ditch with a depth of 0.4m in the middle of the pool, and then put some boards across the pool. Pile 1.5m of soil or cover the pool with corn straw, and the snakes in the snake pond can survive the winter. It is also more convenient for breeders to get in and out or to observe during feeding.

III. Breeding and hatching of snakes

1. After the sexual maturity of snakes, they usually start mating for the first time after waking up from hibernation every year.

2. The female snake needs to mate 3-4 times at most in her life, because the sperm of the male snake can survive in the female snake for many years. The female snake lays eggs from the beginning of June to the end of August every year, about a few to more than 20 eggs.

3. If you hatch manually, the temperature must be controlled at 20 ℃-27 ℃, and the relative humidity should be 74%, 95%. Note that there are many species of snakes, so the hatching time of snakes is different. Generally, the shortest hatching time is 25 days, and the longest is about 55 days.

IV. Feeding of young snakes

When raising baby snakes, only drinking water is needed, not feeding, because the young snake has egg yolk in its belly that can maintain the baby snake for about 5 days. If the egg yolk is consumed, the activity ability of the baby snake will gradually increase. You can feed some small insects, earthworms or small earth frogs, and when you grow up to a certain period of time, you will be able to feed with the big snake.

V. Prevention and treatment of snake disease

Mildew spot: wipe the mildew spots on the snake belly with 2% iodine tincture, wipe twice a day, and recover after a week.

Stomatitis: rinse the mouth of the diseased snake with normal saline, then wipe the jaws with gentian purple solution, rinse and wipe once a day, until the snake's mouth is swollen and stop flushing and wiping.

Acute pneumonia: the frog skin was wrapped with 800000 units of Streptomyces in powder for 8 times, then fed to the sick snake, then washed down with clean water, fed to the sick snake 1-2 times a day, and then cured after 3-4 days.

VI. Mixed use of drugs

Snakes have strong resistance, but when raising snakes in captivity, the living area provided is not large, and sometimes the density of raising snakes is higher for profit. Therefore, it is necessary to inject 200000 units of gentamicin, 2 levamisole, 5 dexamethasone and vitamin B121.

The water consumption for injection is 100ml, which can inject 50 snakes weighing about 1kg twice in a row, which can prevent disease, deworming and provide nutrition to snakes.

In addition, snakes are dewormed twice a year in early summer and late autumn. Changchongqing or tetracycline can be injected into the pool to allow snakes to drink and bathe.
