How much is the five-paced snake per jin
The price of the five-paced snake is about 300 yuan per jin, and the price of dried snake is about 1000 yuan per jin. In the consumption of the five-paced snake, eating it and soaking it in liquor are relatively common, so prices vary greatly from place to place due to different demand. For example, the price in the Guangdong area is about 260 to 280 yuan per jin, while prices in other areas are about 300 to 600 yuan per jin, and in some places it is even as high as one thousand yuan.
Is the five-paced snake a protected animal
The five-paced snake is a national second-class endangered protected animal. The five-paced snake is widely distributed in China, with the largest distribution in the Wuyi Mountain area and the mountainous area of southern Anhui. It often lives in mountainous or hilly areas at an altitude of 100 to 1400 m, and mostly inhabits areas near mountain valley streams at 300 to 800 m. It occasionally enters mountain villages and homes, appearing in kitchens and bedrooms. In hot weather it enters cool places under rocks, in grass, and under tree roots beside valley streams to spend the summer, and in winter it overwinters in stone crevices and earthen holes on sunny slopes.
Profit depends on the survival rate, and 500 is not a large number. Over a year, if few die, they are well fed, and the snake price rises, the profit is about 60%, but this is basically impossible.
Five-paced snake farming methods
At present, five-paced snake farming all uses manual force-feeding; voluntary feeding does not yet exist, because the five-paced snake is relatively lazy and basically does not like to eat on its own. If it relies on eating on its own, its growth rate is especially slow, while manual force-feeding increases the speed by more than half. For the convenience of force-feeding, current five-paced snake farming all uses indoor wooden box farming. Generally, one cage is used to raise one five-paced snake, while young snakes can be raised several together.
The five-paced snake likes eating white mice most, followed by chicks. When artificially raising five-paced snakes, it is necessary to feed white mice to the five-paced snakes. When force-feeding, chicks, frogs, or artificially formulated feed can also be used for force-feeding. If the farming scale is large, it is necessary to buy a force-feeding machine, so that the efficiency is relatively high. Here the editor wants to remind everyone that when force-feeding, attention must be paid to safety. Being bitten by a five-paced snake is very dangerous, and the wound must be treated promptly.
