How is snakeskin processed? A detailed introduction to the processing methods
To process snakeskin, the first step is to remove the skin from the snake. There are two main methods for removing snakeskin: one is the hanging skinning method, in which the removed skin is cylindrical, then cut vertically along the belly to make it flat; the other is the ground skinning method, in which the removed skin is flat, that is, the head and tail are cut off and the middle part is taken.

What are the feeding habits of the red-banded snake?
The red-banded snake has a voracious appetite and needs to feed once every 7-8 days. A snake weighing about 500 grams can swallow 2-3 small miscellaneous fish at a time, and up to 5 at most. A small juvenile snake just a few dozen centimeters long can also swallow relatively large toads. During the swallowing process, they may bite or even swallow each other, especially when food is scarce. This requires someone to stand watch during feeding; the presence of a person nearby does not affect their swallowing. When such a situation occurs, pinch one snake by the neck to make it release its grip and force it open; or use the method described earlier in the article "A Small Pair of Scissors, Cleverly Separating Snakes Fighting Over Food."
