The snake house can use ordinary houses or be specially built.
The walls of the snake room should be smooth and seamless, and the corner of the room should be curved so that the snake can't climb along the corner. The snake house should be a place with cool ventilation in summer and heat preservation in winter. As for the window that can be opened, if the window is opened, double glass and barbed wire should be installed.
A certain number of snake nests can be set indoors, and pools, ditches or basins can be set indoors. It would be better to put some stones and flowers in the open space. In order to facilitate observation, you can open an observation hole on the door and install glass and barbed wire; You can also divide the house into corridors with fine barbed wire, and people can go in and out of the snake house at will.
Diagnosis of snake disease
The diagnosis method of snake disease is to comprehensively analyze and judge the occurrence and development of snake disease according to symptoms and epidemiological data. The diagnosis method of snake disease is that healthy snakes are agile, with normal patterns, bright colors and good appetite. Young snakes grow rapidly, without trauma, disability and mildew spots. When the climate is right, they go out for activities. When it is not suitable, they will go back to their nests to rest and stay healthy. If a poisonous snake is stimulated, it will quickly turn its head, erect the front of its body and show the appearance of attack. A healthy non-poisonous snake will run away quickly when it is hurt by the enemy. Most of the feces of snakes are thin, with white or milky edges, and the center is often pale yellow or brown-black, mixed with bird hair or mouse hair. Fresh snake dung has a special smell. Different snake droppings are different. Bungarus multicinctus droppings are white; Cobra feces are pale yellow; The feces of Agkistrodon acutus are dark gray; The feces of Zaocys dhumnades and brown-haired rats are brown and black. Compared with healthy snakes, sick snakes are slow in response, dull in appearance, dull in spirit, half-open or hold their breath, do not spit or spit less, have poor appetite, eat less or vomit after eating, swim in the outer disk in bad weather, do not think about going back to the hole, crawl in twists and turns, and sometimes have mildew spots or injuries on their body surface. According to the above symptoms, combined with epidemiological data such as onset season, food quality and feeding environment, the diagnosis of snake disease can be made.
Prevention and treatment of parasitic diseases
There are many kinds of parasites in snakes. Parasitic diseases can weaken physique, cause other diseases, and often lead to death directly.
Prevention and control methods:
Schizophrenia is the larva of tapeworm, and snake is the second intermediate host of schizophrenia. Sparganum is mostly parasitic under the skin and generally harmless to snakes.
If sparganium parasitizes under the snake skin, it can be cut open with a sharp knife and taken out, and then the wound is smeared with 1%~2% tincture of iodine. Sparganium is parasitic in other parts, so it can be used as an appendage of other parasites without special treatment.
② Tongue whipworm parasitizes in the lungs and trachea of snakes, which is very harmful and can suffocate snakes.
For this parasite, animals can be given trichlorfon solution by gavage at a dose of 0.0 1 g per kilogram of body weight for 3 days.
③ Corynebacterium nematodes parasitize in alveolar cavities, often covering the affected areas, causing the snake's lungs to erode and die.
Tetraimidazole for treatment, 0. 1~0.2 mg/kg body weight.
④ Taenia solium is parasitic in snake gall.
