Snake feeding and feeding method

When there is time and artificial environment and season, we think that except for snakes that eat during the day (such as black snakes, etc.), it is better to feed them before sunset or in the evening. Because the activity and foraging of snakes depend on the external temperature, snakes rarely come out of their nests when the temperature is high during the day. Under the condition of breeding, it is common for snakes and cool night to come out and look for food, and crawl back to the nest in the early morning of the next day. There are two other advantages of feeding snakes in the evening, that is, concentrated dead food. Because the temperature is not too high, that is, if there is any surplus, it can be picked out and stored in the freezer for next time, and the food will not be wasted. Another advantage is that we also put in dead food after drug injection. Because the investment time is relatively short, the bait is fresh and palatable, and the night climate is suitable, the drug ingredients in the bait have long been swallowed by the snake together with the bait, so that the efficacy will not be reduced because of the long time. In order to achieve the purpose of preventing and treating snakes. In addition, whether to feed should be controlled according to the temperature of the day. If the outside temperature is below 15 ℃, do not feed for the time being; when the temperature rises to 20-29 ℃, you can feed it; when it is above 30 ℃, snakes basically do not eat.

Where is the best place to put dead snake food?

According to the experience of raising snakes, it is found that most of them have the habit of crawling along the root of the wall, especially at the corner of the enclosure wall of the snake farm, where they stay for a long time. In addition, snakes are infested near snake nests, pools or ditches. Thus it can be seen that the corner where snakes often haunt and stay is the best place to feed. If the distance between the two walls is not too far, you might as well set up 1-2 feeding points in the middle, and sporadically set up several feeding points near the snake nest or near the water. In this way, over time, I will instinctively climb to a feeding point to eat. When the red chain snake eats dead food, it can know whether the food is dead or alive. If he finds that it is death food, he does not show any aggressive behavior at all, but slowly climbs to the head of death food to swallow it.

No matter where the feeding point is set up in the snake farm, the food should not be placed on the ground casually. For the sake of hygiene, food can be placed on clean floor tiles, large tea trays, plastic films or woven bags, which is not only convenient for hygiene, but also more convenient for daily cleaning.
