Are Snake Diseases Widespread? What Farmers Need to Know

Everything should be examined from two sides. After snakes are moved from the wild into captive breeding, skilled keepers who know the techniques and management can raise snakes to be even plumper and stronger, but those who do not understand these methods raise snakes that are thin, weak and prone to illness, and this situation is still not uncommon today.

To raise snakes well and reduce the occurrence of disease, the principle of "comprehensive prevention, timely treatment, and prevention over treatment" should be actively carried out. As long as snake farm management is strengthened, cleanliness and hygiene are kept up, the snakes' constitution is improved, the patterns of snake disease occurrence are understood, and comprehensive preventive measures are adopted, snake diseases can be greatly reduced, and disease will no longer be widespread.

Although this chapter lists several kinds of snake diseases, that is only a summary and overall conclusion drawn from experience in preventing and treating snake diseases. Based on many years of breeding experience at my snake farm, these snake diseases occur only in a small number of snakes and are not widespread.

As long as we feed and manage the snake colony strictly according to scientific methods, snake diseases are not difficult to cure.
