Scientific management measures of snake farm all the year round
Snakes are variable temperature animals, and their body temperature changes with the rise and fall of ambient temperature. good management of snake farms can ensure the normal growth and reproduction of snakes and improve the yield and quality of snakes.
Spring management
Breeding snakes are generally introduced in spring, there is no need to worry about the cold or hot weather during transportation, and the spawning period is also at this time. Before introducing the snake into the snake farm, you should clean up in advance and do a good job of cleaning and disinfection. The newly stung snakes basically did not eat in the first 2 to 3 weeks, but began to eat a small amount of food in April and increased greatly in May. Sufficient and hygienic feed should be put on a regular basis, and clean drinking water should be provided in the snake farm. At the same time, people should always observe the activities of snakes and record their predation, drinking water, molting, mating, mating, breeding, diseases and insect pests and deaths.
Summer management
Summer is not only the main mating and breeding season for snakes, but also the peak season for predation, activity and growth. We should take good care of female snakes, collect snake eggs in time, and prepare for breeding and hatching. Separate the female snake from the male snake and ensure that the food is adequate and diversified. It is necessary to carefully observe the female snakes that lay eggs, pay attention to collecting snake eggs, and do a good job of artificially hatching young snakes. The hot summer should do a good job in cooling the snake nest, and the snake farm should have clean drinking water and clean faeces in time.
Autumn management
Autumn is the peak predation season for snakes, so the feed supplied to snakes in autumn requires high quality, which makes the snake store a large amount of fat for overwintering and dormant consumption in the coming year. At this time, individual snakes with small food intake should be artificially fed to make them safely through the winter. Due to the large amount of prey of wild snakes in autumn, they often come out of the hole to find food, so it is also a good time to catch snakes.
Winter management
Winter is the key season for artificial breeding, which is related to whether snakes can survive the winter safely. In particular, snakes with poison or weak physique should strengthen management during the overwintering period. Snakes should be fed and drunk enough before overwintering, with high quality and diversified feed, so as to accumulate enough fat to meet the needs of overwintering. Snakes should maintain a proper temperature during the overwintering period (2 ℃ ~ 6 ℃ indoor temperature is required for young snakes overwintering), and strictly guard against high and sometimes low indoor temperatures, so as not to cause young snakes to wake up in hibernation, which is disadvantageous to overwintering. The temperature and humidity of the snake farm should be checked regularly in winter. the snake overwintering pool should be covered with plastic sheet. when the temperature rises, the plastic film should be lifted to let the snake out of the hole to have enough sunlight in the snake farm, and the sick snakes should be isolated or executed in time to prevent the whole group from infecting the whole group. Because snakes are particularly concentrated when overwintering, infectious diseases are easy to spread, which is very harmful.

How to diagnose a dog and cat that has lost its hair?
Q: how can a dog and cat with shedding hair be diagnosed? A: the confirmation of dogs and cats with skin diseases should be based on the results of laboratory tests. Of course, different laboratory equipment is different, and different chemists have different levels. Generally speaking, after scraping the skin of dogs and cats, scabies mites, demodex mites, fungi or bacteria can be diagnosed, according to the test results to use drugs, is objective. Excerpt from:
