2. Processing and preparation: after the young many-banded krait hatches from the egg, it is raised for 7~10 days, and when the young snake's body length reaches about 30 cm, it can be captured and processed into medicinal material. During processing, use iron tongs to clamp the young snake's head and neck, first put the snake's tail and body into a glass container filled with alcohol, then insert the young snake's head as well, and use high-concentration alcohol to intoxicate the young snake to death. When cutting open the belly of the intoxicated young snake, it is best to remove the young snake's venom fangs to prevent bites during processing. The belly should be cut in a straight line from the neck to the anus, the internal organs should be cleaned out completely, and the blood stains and moisture should be wiped clean with clean gauze. Finally, with the young snake's head as the center, bend the snake's body into a round cake shape, and put the snake's tail into the young snake's mouth so that head and tail are joined, then use two thin bamboo skewers to cross horizontally through the snake's body to fix its shape.

For the young snake coiled into a round cake shape, it can be dried with a drying oven or an electric oven, or slowly roasted over charcoal fire, with the temperature kept at about 50°C, until it is thoroughly dried. During roasting, it is necessary both to prevent scorching and burning and to prevent contamination. To ensure product quality, wrap the roasted dried young snake in clean white wax paper and put it into a prepared cardboard box, and it is ready for sale. If long-term storage is needed, it can be placed in a dry and ventilated place. The finished dried snake has a black or grayish-black back, with several white ring markings and one prominent dorsal ridge, fine and glossy snake scales, complete belly and tail, and yellowish-white flesh; those with a small coil diameter are considered better.
