What are the considerations for building a snake enclosure?
A good snake farm should have a spacious activity area set aside, that is, an exercise yard for the snakes. However, climbing vines such as Boston ivy cannot be planted in the exercise yard.

Detailed Explanation of Key Techniques for Enclosure Fishing in Large Water Bodies
For enclosure fish farming in large water bodies, due to the large area and difficulty of catching fish, most farmers currently still drain the water to catch fish during New Year's Day and the Spring Festival each year, which not only wastes water but also affects profits because fresh fish flood the market at the same time. To resolve this contradiction, technicians at the aquaculture farm of Jiangsu State Farms Linhai Farm, through years of practice, have developed a new technique for fishing in large-water-body enclosure aquaculture. This technique takes advantage of fish's habit of swimming against the current: at the water exchange inlet of the fish pond, a fishing pool 3 m wide, 5 m long and 2.5 m deep is built, with a 1 m wide outlet on the side facing the fish pond.

What is the most suitable temperature and humidity inside a snake enclosure?
Snakes are ectothermic animals, and changes in temperature greatly affect their growth and activity. Therefore, controlling the temperature and humidity inside a snake enclosure within the range suitable for snake growth and activity is another key issue in artificial snake farming. Generally, a temperature of 20-30°C is most suitable for the growth and reproduction of snakes. If it falls below 10-13°C, snakes curl up and become inactive; if in an environment above 40°C or below 0°C, weak and thin snakes will die in large numbers. So, in the process of artificially raising snakes, special attention must be paid to the outside

What harm does excessively high temperature in a snake enclosure in summer do to snakes?
In captive snake breeding, whether in indoor housing or outdoor snake enclosures, the stocking density is generally quite high. In summer, if the temperature inside the snake enclosure is too high, or before and after heavy rain when high temperature and high humidity with poor ventilation easily occur, the snakes being kept will refuse to eat, become inactive, and fail to shed their skin; some may even adopt a passive heat-avoidance strategy and enter "summer dormancy," which will inevitably affect their normal growth and development. Because snakes themselves have no sweat glands, they cannot regulate their own temperature and humidity. When the temperature inside the enclosure approaches 30°C, the snakes' water intake will increase, their breathing will speed up, they will become listless, and their activity will become irregular; in severe cases they will vomit mucus and phlegm (caused by pneumonia), which can lead to death. Diseases contracted by snakes in this season are often highly contagious and tend to cause relatively large economic losses, so medication should be administered promptly for treatment.
