In fact, in the south, there are still many snakes in the home, and recently, a similar thing happened at a courier station in Taoyuan District, West Lake Middle Road, Nanchang City. When the courier was sorting the package, he suddenly climbed out from under the package a large black snake of nearly one meter, and the courier was frightened to sit directly on the ground, after all, this is still very scary, when you are fully focused on the work when a snake comes out, everyone will be frightened, and the courier hurriedly made a distress call.
When the firefighters arrived, they grabbed the snake with the snake catching tool and put it in the snakeskin bag, and then the firefighters released the snake into the wild, and the courier slowly calmed down, and he couldn't understand why the snake crawled out of the courier package.
The snake that was released should be a black-ridged snake in terms of color and appearance, this snake is generally more common in the south, and there is no aggression, nor is it poisonous, so the courier is relatively lucky, and it is not a king cobra or a black mamba.

Black ridge snake is first of all a non-venomous snake, this name may not be heard much, because its number itself is not very much, decent brown-black, there is a more eye-catching black ridge line in the center of the back, so it is named black ridge snake, the black ridge snake body size is actually not very large, the length of 30-50 cm, the largest will not exceed 60cm, but don't look at its small size, but the shiny color of the black body, let people look quite scary.
Black-ridged snakes usually live in mountainous and hilly areas, mainly distributed in Shaanxi, Gansu, Yunnan, Anhui, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Hunan, Fujian and other places, due to their small size, it is difficult to prey on large prey, so most of them feed on earthworms.
Although this snake is not poisonous, it is best to disinfect the wound after people are bitten, after all, there are still many bacteria and viruses in the snake's mouth.
Most of the living environment of the black ridge snake is in the wild, and a few will appear in the human activity area, mainly for predation and cooling needs, this black ridge snake appears in the package, largely may be to escape the heat in the hot day.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" Data-track="46" What is the reason for the "snake entering the house" >, and can it be killed? </h1>
As for why the black-ridged snake appears in the house, everyone does not know the reason, in fact, the snake is also a kind of animal that is afraid of heat, the normal temperature of the snake is 25-35 ° C, the outside temperature is low, the snake will hibernate, if it is high, it will affect their eating, once the temperature exceeds 40 ° C, the snake will die in the sun, so the snake appears in the house more for summer shelter, especially like a cooler, moist house.

If a snake is found in the house, can we kill it? Many people find snakes at home, out of fear or protection of themselves will kill the snake, in fact, this practice is not right, first of all, the snake generally does not attack people, unless it feels that its life is threatened, it will attack humans, if you do not attack the snake, the snake will generally flee on its own.
In addition, the snake was also considered a spiritual animal in ancient times, knowing how to repay the favor, just like the white lady in the "Legend of the New White Lady", when it encounters humans, if it is released, it is likely to come back to repay your unkillful grace. Of course, this is a superstitious statement, but in the countryside, most people will choose to "invite" the snake out with a tool after finding it at home, rather than putting it to death.
It is also very important that snakes are somehow human friends, according to scientists, snakes have a much stronger ability to catch mice than cats, and do not need humans to feed them.
The black-ridged snake has been included in the "List of Beneficial or Important Economic and Scientific Research Value of National Protection" and can also see its value, as the number continues to decrease, it may one day become extinct, so when you see wild snakes in the future, everyone still tries to give them a way to live.
