Is gecko poisonous?

The gecko itself is not poisonous, but the gecko's urine is toxic.

Since ancient times, it has been spread among the people that the urine of the gecko is very poisonous, blind in the eye and deaf in the ear, which will cause fester when dripping on the human body, and will be poisoned to death after eating the food that the gecko crawls over. Therefore, in ancient times, it was listed as one of the "five poisons" (scorpion, snake, centipede, gecko, toad). If the gecko urine comes into contact with the skin, it needs to be cleaned immediately, otherwise, after being absorbed by the skin, the hypodermic tissue will be congested, edema, hemorrhage, necrosis and neutrophil infiltration in the muscle layer; seriously, the brain and the central nervous system will be damaged, causing serious non-benign changes in the spinal cord, respiratory paralysis, and finally lead to respiratory failure and death. Be careful when catching, and preventive measures should be taken.

Build a field

The gecko house should be built in a dry, ventilated, cool and quiet place. The area depends on the scale of feeding, generally 4 meters long, 2.5 meters wide, 2.2 meters high, each room can raise 400 geckos. Gecko activity should be built on the top of the breeding house, 1.2 meters high, surrounded and surrounded by barbed wire.

The breeding room is connected with the activity field, so it is convenient for gecko to get in and out. A 20-watt black light is installed at the top of the activity field, which is turned on to trap insects, and a funnel is installed below. The insects fall into the activity ground through the funnel for gecko to eat. Clear water is placed in the room for gecko to drink. Set up a small pool for the gecko to take a bath. The four walls of the room are pasted with a layer of papyrus and hung with a number of linen pieces to facilitate gecko spawning and concealment.

Feed

There are several sources of gecko feed, such as trapping, artificial feed and artificial compound feed. Yellow powder insects, fly maggots and ground turtles are usually raised, and these nutritious insects are placed on the plate for gecko feeding. When there is a shortage of live food, geckos should be trained to eat artificial feed. Boil the corn, rice, pumpkin and wax gourd, make it into a paste and put it on a plate. During the feeding period, no insects are fed, no water is given, and geckos feed heavily when they are hungry. The best feeding time is in the evening.

Reproduction

The gecko provenance can buy gecko species weighing about 150 grams in the farm where gecko is raised, or it can be caught in the wild in the mountains. The gecko generally resumes its activity in April and carries out the first mating and spawning in early May. Gecko breeds with a female-to-male ratio of 5:1, allowing them to mate freely. The male and female can be distinguished by turning the anus, and the male gecko cloaca has triangular protuberances. Two eggs are laid at a time, spawning 3 or 4 times a year. Gecko eggs are laid with a soft shell and are exposed to air for half an hour before they harden. Gecko eggs are hatched at a natural temperature of more than 30 ℃, with an incubation period of 50 to 60 days. The baby gecko is 7-8 mm long when it hatches and can find its own food 3-5 days later. Feed some rice soup, sugar water and skim milk powder within a week, and a week later, you can feed some boiled chopped egg yolks, bugs, etc., and timely transfer to the small gecko house to prevent being hurt by the male gecko. It can be raised in groups after a month. Geckos weigh 150 to 200 grams a year.

Administration and Management

In addition to timely feeding and water supply, we should also pay attention to disease prevention, heat prevention and cold resistance. Disinfectants should use highly effective drugs with mild odors, such as Baidu, etc. The feeding density should be 40-50 strips per square meter, and the operation should be light to avoid disturbing the gecko and reduce stress as much as possible. In summer, you can spray water inside and outside the house, hang wet gauze at the air inlet to dissipate heat, increase ventilation, cover the roof with thick grass and get wet.

Gecko hibernates in winter, pay attention to cold resistance and warmth, such as closing doors and windows, thickening the cloth on the wall, reducing water plates, and so on.

Processing

From April to August, the adult gecko can be captured for processing, hit on the head with a heavy object and fainted to death, cut off the eyes with a sharp blade, cut open from the abdomen to the chest, take out the internal organs, dry the blood stains with a cloth, and then stretch the gecko open with a piece of bamboo that has been boiled and sterilized in boiling water. then use bamboo pieces to straighten the limbs, head and tail, and dry them with a gentle fire.

At present, the culture of gecko is a relatively developmental project. with the pollution of the environment, the incidence of human beings is also on the rise. in addition to the above medicinal uses of gecko, gecko can also play an anti-tumor role. it is one of the raw materials of anti-tumor drugs and a precious animal medicine.
