How to feed pet snakes

1. Hold the food close to your snake with an iron clamp. Even if you are familiar with the snake, do not hold the food directly with your hands and hand it to the snake, because under the temptation of the taste of food, the snake cannot tell the difference between the owner's hands and the food. Snakes are always accustomed to attacking moving objects that are close to them, so when changing the water for snakes, they are easily attacked by snakes.

2. If you have more than one snake, be sure to feed them separately to prevent them from being injured or eaten due to fighting for food! Because snakes have backward-curving teeth, they often bite different ones. If they bite a piece of food at the same time, the smaller one of the two will easily be eaten by the larger one together with the food!

11 misunderstandings about pet snakes

1. Snake bites

Snake attacks only occur in the following two situations: First, preying ——In other words, if you are not that small, or the snake is not that big, it is safe.

What may happen is that the elephant steps on the snake's tail and refuses to let go. feet.

2. Snakes eat very bloody things

This is probably influenced by some irresponsible horror movies: a big snake chews a living person. In fact, snakes have no ability to chew and can only swallow them whole. Moreover, for relatively large foods, they are often strangled first and then swallowed. Therefore, snakes eat very clean things, and they are all carcasses before digestion.

3. Snakes are not afraid of the cold

The temperature regulation mechanism of reptiles is not perfect compared to mammals. Otherwise, dinosaurs would not have become extinct. Some people may suggest that snakes hibernate at low temperatures. According to data, the mortality rate of the Ussuri pit viper in normal hibernation under natural conditions is about 50%. The story of the farmer and the snake probably takes place in autumn or spring.

4. A snake will not starve to death even if it does not eat

What will not starve to death is shoelaces, and snakes also need to eat. It's just that reptiles have a lower metabolic rate than mammals and are more resistant to hunger - or, to be more precise, eat less frequently.

5. A snake can still survive if its head is cut off

That is an earthworm. To be precise, earthworms are headless and have not evolved to that stage. A snake has no head and will die.

6. The snake’s skin is slimy

That’s a frog. The snake's body is covered with scales and has no mucus. Therefore, the surface of the snake is very dry.

7. Snakes are always cold

The body temperature of snakes is the same as that of the environment. The reason why they feel cold is that a middle school teacher said that iron feels cooler than wood when touched in cold weather. …

8. Snakes are very evil, and there is a snake spirit

There is a snake spirit - it is said to be an oral liquid containing 99% water and 1% brown sugar. Superstitious comrades, please review the relevant parts of Marxist-Leninist philosophy and arm your mind with science. Books that you should not read within three months include: "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", "Three Words", "Er Pai"...

9. Those with triangular heads are poisonous snakes, those with beautiful patterns are poisonous, and vice versa

According to this theory, the king cobra is non-venomous, while the Pabra milk snake is highly venomous - needless to say the former, the latter The snake is a very common pet snake and is extremely beautiful.

10. You will definitely die if you are bitten by a venomous snake

It depends on the toxicity. The red snake is also venomous, but no one has been killed by it yet. If you are lucky enough, your name will go down in history. Even if it is highly venomous, it depends on the condition of the snake. Generally speaking, hungry snakes release more venom, while those that are full will release less venom. Other influencing factors include: depth of the wound, personal constitution, size of the snake, etc.

11. If bitten by a poisonous snake, suck out the blood immediately and go to the hospital.

Yes! But it depends on what kind of snake it is. For snakes with very low toxicity, you can just handle them yourself; for some snakes with strong toxicity, it is useless to go there: first, our hospitals are basically not prepared to deal with snake venom serum; secondly, even if there is serum, there are different types. points, it may not be specific; finally, even if there is a hospital that stocks all the serum (such a hospital has not yet begun), you may not know what kind of snake bit you. In this case, you are allowed to deviate slightly from your atheistic beliefs - pray!

How to safely winterize pet snakes

1. The weather is getting colder and colder recently. Surviving snakes will hibernate themselves in winter. Generally, snakes will store some food before hibernating to withstand the cold weather and survive the cold winter safely. Of course, there are also old, weak and young individuals. If they did not catch enough food in the previous year, their body reserves of nutrients would be insufficient and it would be difficult for them to survive the winter. For this reason, when raising artificially, preparations before overwintering must be sufficient to ensure food supply so that the snake can have a healthy and strong physique.

2. Individuals that cannot actively eat before winter should be dealt with promptly. If they are unable to adapt to the artificial breeding environment rather than having health problems, they should be released and eliminated as soon as possible. If the body is weak but can eat actively, you can consider raising it at a warm temperature to delay hibernation or not hibernate. It is worth mentioning that some wild individuals, especially adults or elderly individuals, are affected by biological rhythms and will refuse to eat even if they are warmed during hibernation. Therefore, the nutritional reserves of snakes before overwintering are very important.
