Mud snake is a kind of edible snake, also known as Chinese water snake, is a non-venomous reptile of the family Serpent, which lives in and near rice fields, ditches or ponds, and has good therapeutic efficacy and medicinal value. the development of mud snake breeding has gradually become an important agricultural breeding project, let's take a look at the efficient breeding technology of mud snake!

The living habits of mud snakes

Mud snakes generally live in streams, ponds, paddy fields or canals in plains, hills or foothills, like deep silting environment, can grow in bad water quality, and eat miscellaneous food. Wild snakes mainly feed on small fish and shrimp, and see activities during the day and night. There are 13 snakes born in August and September, and the total length of newborn snakes is 100mm and 150mm. Commercial snakes weigh more than 150 grams and the largest individual is more than 750 grams.

Seedling cultivation of mud snake

Mud snake seedlings can be used to catch snakes directly from the wild, or to buy snakes with good color and large belly of female snakes. Put it in a breeding pond of 3 to 10 square meters, with a male-to-female ratio of 11 to 3. The breeding pond should keep silting depth of 30 cm and water depth of 30 cm, and put appropriate amount of dried straw or other hay, often change water, keep the water fresh and easy to observe, and keep the snakes rich in food sources during breeding. Once the cubs are born, they should be separated within half a day and put into the transition pool for temporary rearing. The young snakes should be fed with cooked egg yolks, red worms and so on.

Culture techniques of mud snakes

1. Pond construction: the mud snake culture pond should be 100 square meters, with a depth of more than 1 meter, backfill silt or cooked soil of 30 centimeters, water injection of more than 40 centimeters, 10 centimeters of dry straw or hay according to the area of 1 centimeter, and a 1-meter-high anti-escape and anti-rodent wall.

2. Stocking: after the young mud snakes are fished out of the transition pond, they are reared in the ponds according to the size, strength and strength, with a stocking density of 10 per square meter. small fish with fast reproduction can be added to the pond to grow together with mud snakes.

3. Feeding: mud snakes have mixed feeding habits. Young mud snakes should be fed more yellow powder insects, earthworms, soft-shelled turtles and eels. Adults can feed all kinds of animal scraps, dead animals, fish and shrimp, etc., or install black light to induce insects to feed snakes.

4. Management: all kinds of melons, fruits and vegetables can be planted on the embankment of the mud snake culture pond, but pesticides can not be used, and Zizania caduciflora or deep rice can be planted around the pond. High temperature season should often change water to cool down, low temperature season add hay into the water to keep warm.

5. Disease prevention: the adaptability of mud snakes is very strong, and the diseases are relatively few. once different drugs are found, individual body surface diseases should be cleaned and disinfected with bromogeramine, and rodent prevention should be done around the breeding site at the same time.
