What are the management priorities of the snake farm?

In order to make the farmed snakes grow fast, reproduce more and have a high survival rate, we should not be too careless in the management of snake farms and the prevention of snake diseases. Only by doing well the management of snakes in advance can we put an end to the occurrence and spread of snakes. To sum up, attention should be paid to the following aspects:

The ⑴ snake farm should be kept clean and hygienic. Snake singing and snake nests must be inspected every day (except in winter). Dead snakes or snakes that have been bitten but not swallowed should be picked out in time, so as not to cause decay and environmental pollution caused by high temperature. The drinking water in snake pond or snake ditch should be changed at the right time. When cleaning the pool, brush off the moss attached to the edge of the pool or ditch to ensure that the water source is clean and fresh. In addition, the vegetation in the field should be pruned regularly, so that it can not only play the role of sunshade and summer, but also afforest and beautify the environment.

⑵ to the barriers around the snake farm, wall base and drain (hole) should be checked frequently, found that there are rat holes, cracks should be repaired in time. The trees near the fence of the snake farm should be pruned at the right time to prevent snakes from climbing and escaping along the trees.

If ⑶ keeps poisonous snakes, do not drink before entering the snake farm, let alone catch the poisonous snakes directly after drinking. The entry staff should be fully equipped with high-waisted boots and protective clothing and hats. Generally, two people should go together to take care of each other to prevent them from being bitten by poisonous snakes. When catching snakes, you should use tools such as iron clamps and special hooks to catch snakes. When grasping snakes, you must move gently and quickly, and you must not be slow. The lighting equipment for inspecting snakes at night should stay away from the equipment or use elbows to point the cylinder, and pay attention to the foot or grass at the same time. If there are no special circumstances, it is best not to enter the snake farm directly at night and watch it on the wall.

The attendants at the ⑷ Snake Farm must love their work and have a potential awareness and good concept of caring for animals in order to establish a positive attitude of being "friends" with snakes and taking snakes as "pleasure". This is the main reliable guarantee for reducing snake injuries. Although artificial snake breeding does not require a lot of manual work, it requires long-lasting patience and confidence due to the influence of its activity law and obvious seasonal law.

⑸ feeders should strive to combine breeding experience with scientific research work, so that it has both economic benefits and scientific achievements, and truly achieve the "combination of theory and practice". No matter which kind of snake is raised, you should keep a detailed diary of raising snakes, such as the living conditions of snakes in the field or nest, temperature and humidity of the four seasons, mating, date of breeding and laying eggs, times of molting, feeding habits, feeding rules, growth of young snakes, hibernation process, disease prevention and so on, in order to lay a solid foundation for raising snakes on a large scale in the future, gradually improving the survival rate of snakes or keeping the value of snakes in breeding.

⑹ should isolate and treat sick snakes, injured snakes and thin snakes in time to avoid further spread of the disease and minimize the chance of transmission to other healthy snakes. At the same time, efforts should be made to develop the good habit of regular disinfection. "Human diligent snakes do not get sick" is suitable for every snake farm (household).
