270 baby snakes, 20 eggs! The man keeps a snake and accidentally escapes with the young snake
Recently, the command center of the Huaihua Fire Rescue Detachment received an alarm that there was a snake in the home, so it rushed to the home of a resident in the north district of Shengshi Huadu in Hecheng District. In an instant, the firefighters found three snakes on the balcony and toilet of the resident's home, according to the residents, this is the third snake in two days, and many residents in the community, like him, are also plagued by snakes that have appeared repeatedly.
In order to find out what was going on, the firefighters, together with the forest police and the public security police, conducted a detailed inspection of the entire building. Finally, a striking scene was seen in the home of a resident on the 33rd floor of the building: the house was filled with many foam boxes containing many snake galls and juvenile snakes. The 50-square-meter one-bedroom and one-room room was rented by a man who was a veterinarian, but it was not used to live, but illegally raised a large number of snakes such as black snakes, black-browed snakes, five-step snakes, cobras and so on.
According to the on-site search of the staff of the relevant units, it was found that there were still 270 juvenile snakes of various types and 20 snake galls. According to the snake keeper, the snake in the neighbor's house was indeed accidentally run away by his own family. At that time, because he put the hatched snake in a plastic box and fastened it, but he did not expect the snake to run out of the gap, even he himself is not sure how many ran away.
Are baby snakes really non-venomous? The old man in the countryside said: The smaller the snake, the more poisonous it is, what is the matter
It is worth noting that the man who raised the snake said that the juvenile snake was non-venomous, and only the small cobra was somewhat venomous. On the contrary, the old people in the rural areas often say: the smaller the snake, the more poisonous it is. So what are the facts?
According to The Reotile Database, after 130 million years of evolutionary development, there are now about 3,425 species of snakes in the world. According to the reality of the situation, in fact, with the ecological improvement of the variety of in recent years is also growing. Then the breeder man believes that the juvenile snake is non-venomous obviously does not summarize all snakes, non-venomous is only for non-venomous snakes themselves, for venomous snakes or even highly venomous snakes, although they are juvenile snakes, they are still poisonous and very dangerous.
According to the Russian Satellite News Agency, in August 2021, a very bizarre incident occurred in the Indian state of Bihar. A 65-year-old drunken man, Makhto, was bitten by a green ring snake, perhaps out of the boldness of alcohol, he grabbed the snake in anger and chewed it back, and then the green ring snake bit his face more than a dozen times.
At that time, the man did not care, and when he returned home, he refused the kindness of his family to take him to the hospital for treatment, and told his relatives that it was a baby snake and would not be poisonous. But unexpectedly, only 12 hours later, the next morning, the family found that he had died in his sleep.
In addition, the relevant person in charge of the Zhoushan Blue Sky Rescue Team also said that the local government has dispatched more than 50 times in just 2 months since April, and has caught more than 30 snakes for the citizens. At the same time, a warning was also issued: for the silver ring snake, one of the most common poisonous snakes in Zhoushan, it is fast, poisonous and likes to travel at night. Although it is some juvenile snakes that have not broken their shells for a long time, although they are small, they are not less poisonous than large snakes.
In fact, there are many cases that prove that small snakes are not really non-toxic, so rural elderly people often say: the smaller the snake, the more poisonous it is, what is the matter? In fact, their claims are not empty, for many snakes such as cobras, some people think that the venom of juvenile snakes is three times more toxic than that of adult snakes, and rattlesnake juvenile snakes are also rumored to be more poisonous than adult snakes.
In fact, the reason for this statement, the Rubik's Cube seems to have two main reasons. First, young snakes are generally smaller and easier for humans to make enemies. Second, juvenile snakes generally inject all the venom into the human body at once without experience encountering threats or attacks, and will not control the limited amount of venom used for a limited time. Therefore, the folk saying is actually more from the amount of venom injected into the human body by juvenile snakes.
Snakes are really not afraid of male yellow! So how to prevent snakes from entering the home and encountering snakes in the wild?
Indeed, the man who raised the snake privately this time did not even know how many snakes had escaped, which could not help but make the surrounding neighbors even more afraid. Mr. Li, a snake catcher, said that in fact, a large snake had been caught in the community as early as 3 months ago, and then there were residents who asked for help for snake catching in the house twice. According to his professional analysis, it is very likely that the reason why the snake is seriously dispersed may be through small waterways and water pipes. Imagine how many snakes are still fleeing for such a long breeding time, and will the snakes breed into snake nests?
From childhood to adulthood, every summer "The Legend of the New White Lady" will be replayed, and the famous scene of "The White Lady Appearing to Be Real Because She Drank Xionghuang Wine" is believed to be impressive to this day. But are snakes really afraid of male yellow? Two experiments tell you the truth!
The first was an experiment on snakes and males that was done in the CCTV program "Is It True". In the experiment, three types of non-venomous snakes such as king snake, five-step snake and cobra were mixed with poisonous snakes, and even considering that king snakes have the habit of sticking to the wall, they were sprinkled with male yellow on their necessary roads. The experimental results showed that in addition to the cobra, the five-step snake and the king snake did not avoid it, but directly climbed over.
The second was a "what snakes are afraid of" experimental test conducted by curiosity laboratory jointly organized by The City Express and the Hangzhou Association of Science and Technology. In the experiment, there are snake repellent powder, male yellow powder, minced garlic, ultrasonic snake repellent, and wind oil essence that we usually consider to be snake "nemesis". The final results showed that the snake avoided the five pieces of male yellow powder, and then the snake repellent powder, while the wind oil essence and garlic powder were of no use at all.
Although the snakes in these two experiments have a certain avoidance behavior towards male yellow powder, the snake is not afraid of male yellow at all! Experts explain that the reason why they are not afraid is actually because snakes are only sensitive to irritating odors, and when there is prey in front of the snake as bait, they will overcome this smell and "go forward". So how to prevent snakes from entering the home, or even encounter snakes in the wild?
Snakes are social animals, and once they enter the house, they may settle in "calling friends and companions" plus breeding to turn the area into a snake nest. If you want to completely prevent snakes from settling, the most fundamental thing is to check and clean up the debris regularly, and pay attention to the weeds in front of the house and behind the house. Although snakes are not afraid of male yellow at all, it is true that they are sensitive to the smell of irritating substances, so they can also be sprinkled with quicklime, male yellow, or anything else to drive snakes. In general, as long as you are not too hungry, and you have a food hidden in your home, you will naturally take a detour.
But after you have indeed entered the home, once you find that you can choose to go to a professional organization for help, this can not only help you catch snakes but also help you rule out whether there is a snake nest. If you encounter a snake in the wild, in fact, in order to prevent trouble before going out, you should take three steps:
First of all, check the route before going out, and don't go to places where the grass and trees are more vigorous. If you really need to go, you can wear sneakers with a slightly higher heel, and you can "hit the grass and scare the snake" to drive away the snakes in the process.
Secondly, if you have encountered a snake, don't panic, "snake chasing people" is indeed really therefore need to remain calm and slowly retreat. It is also important to choose the direction of escape, you can follow the uphill direction of the "Z" shape to escape in an empty and crowded place.
Finally, if you are really bitten, self-help is very important! Remember the characteristics of the snake or directly photograph the snake, but you can also take the snake directly to the hospital to the doctor for the use of targeted antivenom injections. Contact in advance before going to the hospital, otherwise there may be no serum in the hospital, and it is inevitable that the whole city will waste too much physical strength and energy to find the serum, and the snake venom will spread even more.
When the hospital cannot be rushed immediately, the wound can be rinsed with running water and then ligated with a bandage, rope or clothing strip near the heart of the poisoned area. And do not be too tight and not too loose, loosen once at a certain interval to avoid limb necrosis.
