Snake species capture method

Snake hunting should look for snakes according to the habitat, activity law and molting time of snakes, and choose the best way to catch snakes, which is not only easy to find snakes, but also easy to catch. There are many ways to catch snakes, and care must be taken when catching snakes to prevent snake injuries. Here are several common capture methods.

1. Looking for a snake's nest

Snake catchers can use snake droppings and snake sloughs to guide the way, that is, they can find their habitat near snake dung or snake sloughing. Every year after late autumn, the activity of all kinds of snakes gradually decreases, and the cold weather snakes enter the cave to hibernate, which is a good time to catch snakes. Snake holes are usually in the holes of high fields, ponds, or mounds, and sometimes snakes hibernate in old rat holes on slopes and by the water. The discrimination method of snake cave is that the mouth of the cave is smooth and faces south or east, rarely to the west. According to the number, color and shape of snake feces outside the cave, the number and species of snakes in the cave can be determined, such as cobra feces are yellowish green, striped or nodular; golden ring snake feces are gray mud, with scales and rotten piles; silver ring snake feces are black and scattered, and scales are sometimes found; squirrel snake droppings are green and white and ragged into strips; mouse snake droppings are white and granular, like rat droppings; three cable snake droppings are in the shape of "zigzag". After it is determined that there is a snake in the snake hole, the method of attracting the snake out of the hole can be taken to catch it. The following methods are usually used to draw the snake out of the hole.

⑴ lures the snake out of the hole. Mash 500 grams of frogs into frog mud, then put it into the hole and catch it when the snake smells frog meat and goes out to look for food. You can also use 50 grams of coffee, 25 grams of pepper, 3 egg whites and 50 grams of flour. Make a few more pills, choose the place where the snake is often active, and dig a hole 1 meter deep and 2 meters wide. Spread a smooth plastic sheet around the pit, put the prepared medicine ball on a 1.5-meter-long thin rod, and then insert the other end of the thin stick in the middle of the pit. The snake with a radius of 30 meters smelled and fell into the pit. Snakes that fall into the pit are caught with small nets or drunken snake medicine spray.

⑵ forced the snake out of the hole. Inject irritating gas into the snake hole, or smoke into the hole, or pour gasoline, or water to force the snake out of the hole.

two。 Tool snap

In early spring and late autumn, snakes are concentrated and it is convenient to catch snakes. In order to prevent snake injuries, snake trapping tools should be used when catching snakes. There are several ways to use tools to catch snakes.

⑴ neck pressing method. Grasp the tail of the snake with the left hand, and the right hand quickly press the snake's neck from the back of the snake with a wooden fork, thin bamboo pole and wooden stick. If the neck is not properly pressed, you can first press on any part of the snake's body, and then move to its neck. You can't catch it until you press the neck. Then pinch the head and neck of the snake with the thumb and index finger of the right hand. Do not pinch too tightly, so as not to make it loose and unable to move the position. If the snake is caught too tightly, it will often cause the snake to resist desperately and it will be difficult to deal with.

⑵ fork snake method. Use a stick that is 1 to 2 meters long and forked at one end. The fork has an angle of about 60 °. The front end is nailed with strong and elastic rubber so that it can be stuck without damaging the snake. When the snake is found, the snake catcher quietly approaches the snake, forks the snake's neck with a wooden fork, and then grabs the snake's head and neck with his hand.

⑶ snaketrap method. Use a special snake clamp or clamp, requiring the handle of the clamp or clamp to be longer, slightly curved inside the clamp or clamp, and clamped or clamped into the snake container from the back of the snake to the neck when catching the snake.

⑷ noose method. With a bamboo pole opened in the center, put a nylon rope into the nylon rope, tie a loose knot on the head, put a loose knot around the snake's neck from behind the snake, and twitch the rope in your hand to make it difficult for the snake to move and be arrested.

⑸ cylinder capture method. Bury the jar into the ground where poisonous snakes often go in and out, the mouth of the cylinder is level with the ground, and put frogs in it as bait, so it is difficult for the snake to jump out of it, so it can be caught.

⑹ net playing method. Install a wire ring 25cm in diameter on the head of a 2-meter-long bamboo pole and sew a long tube-shaped cloth bag with a pointed bottom to net the poisonous snake and shake the handle so that the cloth bag is wrapped around the wire ring so that the snake can not escape.

⑺ masking method. Cover the snake's head with a net bag, straw hat or clothing, grab or step on its body with hands or feet and put it into a container or bag.

⑻ illumination method. Most snakes are afraid of light, shining the eyes of snakes with spotlights or bright flashlights at night, and catching the snakes into containers or bags when their eyes are dazzled.
