Chi-LianSnakeFeeding Points

After setting up a breeding environment similar to the wild environment for the red snake After that, it is also very important what food to feed the red snake. It should be noted that fresh edible water must be provided for Chilian snakes, which can not only ensure the humidity in the breeding box, but also ensure that the Chilian snakes are not short of water.

During the breeding process, do not always use the same feed, and change it frequently species such as mice, fish, Loach, water snake, toad, chick, etc. are constantly rotated. In order to store food conveniently, snakes can be tamed to eat dead loach. The so-called dead loach is not a dead loach that has died of illness or staleness, but a fresh loach that has been scalded to death by placing the live loach in boiling water. Before taming the red snake to eat the dead loach, feeding other foods should be suspended.

The red snake also likes to eat chicks, and the chicks eliminated from the hatchery are also a good food. Chilian snakes have the habit of eating snakes. Therefore, only 1 to 2 snakes should be kept in each breeding box, and it is not advisable to raise multiple snakes together. Large snakes and small snakes, parent snakes and young snakes should not be raised together. Even if they are kept together, they should pay attention to feeding them in time to avoid the snakes eating the same kind due to hunger. The red snake likes to lie still after swallowing food. Don't disturb it at this time. If it is disturbed, it is likely to spit out the food it has eaten.
