Key points of management techniques for raising snakes in summer

@ # @ 246 farmers @ is a good way for farmers to get rich. Summer is the active period of snakes. Mating, spawning, hatching, predation and the growth and development of young snakes are all completed in summer. In order to raise snakes well, summer breeding and management has the following work.

First, to make a good choice of snakes, the male and female snakes are placed in the interval area in proportion to form a breeding group, and other snakes are raised separately. Before breeding snakes, they should be given rich nutrition to keep them in good mating condition. Careful management during the mating period to reduce death.

Second, it is best to keep the pregnant female snake in the isolation area of the snake garden and keep the environment quiet, so that the follicles have good conditions for development. The behavior of the snake should be observed at any time, and the degree of egg development should be checked. If an egg is seen at a distance of 3-4 cm from the cloaca, it indicates that eggs will be laid within 7 days. Care should be taken carefully, and the female snake who is about to give birth should be kept in a snake box to lay eggs quietly (baby). Put it back to the snake garden after delivery.

Third, pay attention to the management of baby snakes that they generally do not eat 7-10 days after birth, especially in the first 3 days, which mainly rely on yolk self-nutrition. with the increase of age, after the yolk is absorbed, the activity ability of young snakes gradually increases, so they need to get nutrients from the outside world. The feeding ability of young snakes is poor, and at the beginning, they can fill or provide rich artificial fluid feed, such as egg yolk, milk, etc., and then give tadpoles, young frogs and all kinds of formula feed one after another; when they grow to a certain period of time, it can be thrown into larger animals, such as mice, rats, adult frogs, toads and so on. Snakes generally molt 3 times a year, do not eat when molting, easy to be harassed by enemies, just molted young snakes are susceptible to infection, must be carefully cared for.

Fourth, adjust the temperature of the snake room during the plum rain and summer holidays, keep the environment clean and dry, pay attention to heat prevention, cooling and ventilation, and observe the activities of snakes. Nocturnal snakes generally do not come out during the day, but in case of overcast, rainy and muggy weather, when the temperature is more than 30 ℃ and the relative humidity is more than 80%, they also occasionally come out during the day or enjoy the cool at the mouth of the cave, so it is necessary to build an Arbor. When the weather is sunny in early summer, when the temperature is 15 ℃ ~ 18 ℃, snakes also like to bask in the sun for a short time at noon. Other snakes that come out of the hole during the day are mostly male snakes or snakes with poor physique or disease. After heavy rain in summer, most snakes come out of the hole at night.

Fifth, to keep the snake garden clean and hygienic, the snake garden should be cleaned and changed frequently, the carcasses and food residues of animals should be removed, and weeds should be removed in time. Always change the water in the pool to prevent snakes from drinking polluted water. When the rainstorm comes, remove the faeces from the Snake Garden in time and remove the stagnant water in the field. The snake room should be disinfected with lime water or potassium permanganate water in time, and tetracycline should be put into the pool timely according to the need.

Sixth, strengthen the management of the Snake Garden and often check the outlet holes of the feed pond and find that there are holes or damage that should be repaired and replaced in time to prevent the escape of snakes and the invasion of wild rats. It is necessary to strengthen the safety management of the snake garden and beware of natural enemies such as eagles, hedgehogs, wild boars and eagles entering the snake farm, causing losses. The number of snakes should be checked frequently, and the cause should be found out immediately. If the snake escapes from the garden, it should be caught in time so as not to hurt anyone. Protective measures should be taken at work to prevent snakebite, and emergency medicine for snakebite should be provided.

Seventh, timely treatment of sick snakes found to be difficult to move, red and swollen mouth, ulceration or other diseases of the snake, should be timely treatment or elimination.
