For pet snake, a novice who just bought it, it is most important to keep observation for a period of time. If there are other pet snake at home, it is best to keep the newly bought snakes in isolation to prevent the new pet snake from spreading the disease to other pet snake. Generally speaking, pet snake, who just entered the house, should not be fed for the first three or four years. After pet snake can adapt to the new family life environment, it's time to feed pet snake.

When it comes to breeding, pet snake can choose frogs, mice and so on. According to the habits and tastes of snakes, pet snake likes to eat new foods. Therefore, the food prepared for pet snake should not be cooked or slaughtered in advance, and fresh food should be put into the feeding box for pet snake to prey on itself. Of course, the size of food prepared for pet snake should not be too big, and it should be decided according to pet snake's size and appetite. However, the amount of prepared food is small, which will not cause any burden on the stomach and digestive function of snakes, and is also very beneficial to the growth of snakes.

Snakes don't need to be fed every day, just feed pet snake once in a while. During the period when snakes don't eat, breeders still need to prepare enough fresh drinking water for snakes to drink freely. In the process of raising pet snake, breeders should not only give pet snake proper diet and life management, but also put pet snake in a cool and comfortable place, and pet snake should not be placed in sunny or wet and cold places, which is very unhealthy for pet snake.

We must reject the sun's exposure to pet snake, but it is also very necessary to bask in warm sunshine properly. Breeders can regularly let pet snake sunbathe to enhance its physique. At the same time, you can also give pet snake a warm bath regularly, and keep the water temperature at 25 degrees Celsius. This is very beneficial to the healthy growth of pet snake.

Second, how do novices raise ordinary snakes?

Build a snake house

Snakes are cold-blooded animals. In order to facilitate feeding and ensure the safety of family and neighbors, we must first establish a safe and comfortable dormitory for snakes. The snake house is built underground 1-2 meters, and bricks are regularly stacked together to form an underground snake house of 10- 15 for snakes to live freely; Or use plates to build a cascade house in the greenhouse for snakes to live and crawl. Dormitories built for snakes should be well ventilated and tightly sealed to prevent snakes from sneaking out.

Food feeding

First of all, live bait can be injected with drugs for epidemic prevention, such as frogs, mice, chickens, ducklings and other active feeds can be injected with vaccine needles to ensure the nutrition and health of bait. Let the live bait have no parasites, and the snake will grow fast and get sick less after eating it. After a full meal, the snake curled up in its nest for several days, even more than ten days, until the food in its belly was completely digested and absorbed, and then climbed out of its nest to drink water for food. Snakes are greedy animals. They are not interested in their own food, and they all like to compete with other snakes for food. Therefore, in the process of feeding, we should divide the food into equal parts to prevent snakes from killing each other for food.

Cold and summer

In hot summer, we should do a good job of shading in summer, because hot weather is likely to cause snakes to die of heat. In the wet rainy season, ventilation measures should be taken, because snakes are prone to mildew in the wet season. Snakes have the habit of hibernating when the weather is cold in winter. In order to prevent snakes from freezing to death in freezing weather, it is necessary to do a good job of cold protection and warmth.

Precautions:

The most important thing to keep a snake is to build a safe nest for it and prevent it from swimming around. Especially in the case of poisonous snakes, we should pay more attention to the firmness and compactness of snake nests, and don't let snakes go out to harm human beings.
