When does the hibernating snake wake up?

However, according to the traditional view, people will wake up when they are startled by the solar terms.

Sting-the sudden movement of spring thunder woke the hibernating animals in the soil. At this time, the temperature rose rapidly, and the spring thunder gradually sprouted. Every year around March 6 of the Gregorian calendar is a shock. One of the 24 solar terms. Sting means hiding. "Sting" refers to a small animal that has been drilled into the soil for the winter and awakened by Lei Zhen. On Boxing Day, the earth reaches 345 degrees of the yellow meridian of the sun, usually from March 4 to 7 every year.

Besides, snakes are very aggressive when they wake up, so be careful. .

Here's a little information:

1. When the snake hibernates, the temperature in the snake nest should be kept at 5- 10℃. When the temperature is higher than 10℃, the snake is not easy to hibernate, and its metabolism is enhanced, which increases the consumption of nutrients in the snake, which is not good for hibernation. When the temperature is below 5℃, snakes often freeze to death. Before winter, clean up the snake nest and boxes, replace and thicken the sand and cushions. When hibernating, you can cover the snake nest or box with plastic film, hay and straw, or install electric lights in the snake room to raise the temperature. When the temperature is too low, it is not appropriate to bake directly with fire, but to use heating indirectly; When the temperature is too high, you can turn on the ventilation window at a higher position in the snake room to cool the indoor air and outdoor air by convection, and at the same time remove the plastic film and straw covering the box nest, but be careful not to blow the cold air directly on the snake.

2. During the hibernation of snakes, besides keeping warm, we should also pay attention to the humidity, because the humidity at the hibernation place is also very important, which is generally kept at 40%-45%, but it should not be too low, otherwise the air will be too dry and affect the normal breathing of snakes during hibernation. At the same time, it should not be too humid, because humidity will reduce the temperature in the nest. You can put a pot of water in the nest or box to adjust the humidity on the one hand and provide it to the snake on the other.

3, snake farms should use snake nests, snake houses, snake boxes, snake pools, etc. for the wintering of snakes. Hibernation in such a place is easy to adjust the temperature and humidity, and it is also easy to observe the state of snake hibernation, which can make snakes hibernate safely. The method of using caves in the garden or digging artificial caves for snakes to overwinter is simple, but the temperature and humidity are not easy to control, which is not conducive to people's observation of snakes overwintering. Therefore, this wintering method is not desirable.

4. During the hibernation of snakes, besides monitoring the temperature and humidity, it is also necessary to regularly check the enemy's harm in the snake nest, snake box or snake pool, and pay attention to eliminating rats, scorpions and ants. In addition, pay attention to the health of snakes. But it is not advisable to check too much. Don't turn the snake during the inspection to minimize the interference to the hibernating snake.

5. When the outside temperature gradually rises above 10℃, the snake will gradually wake up and move gradually. Once the snake starts to move, the temperature in the room and the room can't be lowered, otherwise the snake may go into hibernation and consume a lot of nutrients, which is not good for the snake. So at this time, we should find ways to raise the temperature, so that the snake can fully wake up and stop hibernating. Snakes consume a lot of nutrients after hibernation, so they are weak and have poor disease resistance, and are prone to die of pneumonia. In order to reduce the death of snakes, once snakes start hunting, they should feed the animals that snakes like to eat, provide enough drinking water, and add Shekang to the drinking water. Practice shows that this measure has obvious effect on improving the disease resistance of snakes and reducing their pneumonia and stomatitis.

6. For the snakes after waking up from hibernation, we should carefully check their bodies one by one, concentrate on raising their thin bodies carefully, and treat those sick snakes in isolation, so as not to let the disease spread and endanger the whole snake farm.
