Detailed Explanation of the Key Management Techniques for Snake Self-Breeding and Self-Rearing

Livestock Farming 0 views
The following points should be noted in the self-breeding and self-rearing of snakes: 1. Seed selection: Every spring, robust and plump female snakes should be selected as breeding snakes. Regardless of whether they are venomous or non-venomous snakes, they generally lay eggs from late June to July. Before and after laying eggs, the female snakes should be fed nutrient-rich food containing plenty of calcium, and they should be allowed to eat and drink their fill as much as possible. Whether the female snake has mated need not be considered; once a female snake mates, she can produce fertilized eggs for five years. 2. Incubation: To prevent the snake eggs from drying out and becoming sunken, the eggs laid should be promptly placed in an incubation vat for artificial incubation,

The following points should be noted in the self-breeding and self-rearing of snakes:

1. Seed selection: Every spring, robust and plump female snakes should be selected as breeding snakes. Regardless of whether they are venomous or non-venomous snakes, they generally lay eggs from late June to July. Before and after laying eggs, the female snakes should be fed nutrient-rich food containing plenty of calcium, and they should be allowed to eat and drink their fill as much as possible. Whether the female snake has mated need not be considered; once a female snake mates, she can produce fertilized eggs for five years.

2. Incubation: To prevent the snake eggs from drying out and becoming sunken, the eggs laid should be promptly placed in an incubation vat for artificial incubation. The temperature must be maintained, and they should be checked and turned regularly to prevent rats and other animals from stealing and eating the snake eggs. Dead eggs should be removed promptly. Generally, young snakes hatch in 40 to 60 days.

3. Feeding: Young snakes begin to eat about 10 days after hatching. Food must be provided according to the feeding habits of the snakes, and they may be allowed to feed freely or be force-fed. During this stage, they must be fed well so that they grow large and strong as much as possible; otherwise, it will be difficult for them to survive the winter. At the same time, attention should be paid to the sanitation of the site, with regular disinfection.

4. Hibernation: During hibernation, controlling the temperature and humidity of the snake box is the key to whether the young snakes can safely survive the winter. An electric light bulb or burning firewood can be used to raise the temperature to 15-18°C. Maintain the humidity at 60%-80%. After surviving the winter, they can be fed conventionally.

Brief introduction to snake medicines:

Main formula No. 1: Mainly treats cobras, king cobras, banded kraits, many-banded kraits, etc. Mail order is 120 yuan per bottle. Minimum shipment is two bottles; instructions available upon request. Main formula No. 2: Mainly treats hundred-pace snakes, vipers, lance-headed pit vipers, green bamboo pit vipers, etc. Mail order is 130 yuan per pack. Minimum shipment is two packs; instructions available upon request.

Detoxifying and tissue-regenerating formula: For bites by venomous snakes such as cobras and hundred-pace snakes, local ulceration, chronic non-healing wounds, and ulceration from scalds and burns, apply externally to the ulcerated area; if there is toxin, it draws out the toxin, and if there is no toxin, it promotes tissue regeneration. The earlier the medication is used, the better. According to the severity of the injury, 1-3 treatment courses can cure it. The efficacy is especially good, with no aftereffects. Each treatment course costs 800 yuan, sparing the suffering of amputation.
