How to fatten snakes

Autumn is the season when snakes eat a lot, and it can be said that it is the peak period for snakes to eat throughout the year. Therefore, artificial fattening work in autumn is so important, and it is also an "extraordinary period" for snake management. The following work needs to be done in order to achieve the goal of fattening.

⑴ cleaned up the snake farm. In autumn, in order to facilitate feeding or snakes to better accept the sun, to facilitate the absorption and digestion of food, it is necessary to locally cut or selectively pull out the weeds that shade the snakes in summer. When cutting with a sickle, do not be too far from the ground. It should be about 30 cm away from the ground to avoid stabbing the snake's skin with sharp grass stubble. If the vegetation in the snake farm is not too high and too dense, the status quo can be maintained.

⑵ feeding should be adequate. Snakes eat more frequently in autumn and should be fed regularly every 5 to 7 days. The feeding amount should be more than twice the number of snakes, so as to ensure that both large and small snakes in the farm can eat enough food. The variety of food should be diversified as much as possible, the feeding time can be changed to after 9: 00 a. M., and the head and tail location should be in the shade. After putting away the food, the owner should withdraw as soon as possible, so as not to disturb him too much so as to affect his eating. In addition, try not to disturb the snake at the time of 9 / 30 / 18 / 30, so as to ensure that the snake farm is quiet. In such an environment, snakes can eat well and have enough to store thick fat to get through the long winter.

⑶ is just in time for deworming. The delicacies of snakes, such as toads and mice, all carry more or less parasites or eggs on their bodies. Once swallowed, snakes will parasitize in the abdominal cavity and absorb the nutrients of snakes. Snakes will eat more and grow less, or even lose weight obviously. To this end, before the beginning of autumn, we must use Changchongqing, refined trichlorfon, metronidazole and thiobenzazole and other drugs to deworming snakes. Deworming drugs can be fed directly, or they can be given when feeding snakes. The drug dosage should be rationed strictly according to the snake's body weight, so as to prevent the overdose from affecting the snake's eating.
