Breeding Technique of Winter Snake

Snakes have the habit of hibernating. In the south, snakes generally go into hibernation in November every year for about half a year, which is not conducive to the benefit of winter and spring cold season. How can we overcome this shortcoming? It is best to create the following conditions so that snakes do not hibernate in the cold season and continue to eat and gain weight.

1. Create a good heating room. The heating room is sealed on all sides, keeping the indoor temperature between 20 ℃-28 ℃, in order to adapt to the snake's internal temperature, the heating room facilities are: ① uses a coal stove to light the fire, and the waste gas is discharged. If you want to build a heating breeding room containing 500kg snakes, you only need 15 square meters of space; ② places a water basin in the room to regulate humidity; ③ hangs a dry and wet meter to watch the dry and wet conditions. ④ installed an electric ceiling fan in the room to keep the indoor heat balanced; ⑤ disinfected the wooden boxes and arranged them one after another. After all the measures for raising snakes in the warm room are completed, the snakes are disinfected with potassium permanganate water and put into the room to dry. It is best to separate the snakes into a box, so as to facilitate the management and observation of snakes' diet and hygiene management.

two。 Feed. Winter snake farming requires a lot of feed, mainly from land mice and other small animals, in the winter they enter the hole in the winter is difficult to find. In order to solve the problem of difficult feed, the living habits of snakes can be changed to let snakes eat dead food, and small live animals can be frozen and preserved in the freezer, which is very convenient for thawing and feeding.

3. Check-in time. When the temperature drops day by day in late October every year, the snake can be put into the warm room and fed every 4 days. Each kilogram of snake can be fed with 200ml 300g of food.
