In the countryside, anything is possible to see, especially like wild animals, these species, in the countryside before, are still very common, but with the development of time, now it is more and more rare, but there is a species is not uncommon, this animal will be seen from time to time in the countryside, and people who see it, there will be many people afraid, because as the saying goes, "one is afraid of snake bites, ten years afraid of well rope", and this common animal is also "snake".
People who are afraid of snakes are very afraid, but people who like them are still very fond of it, because for many people, snakes are a rare kind of wild food, so when facing snakes, those who like snakes will go up to catch them, and after catching them, snakes can sell a lot of money, even if no one wants it, they can take it to stew soup to drink, and even breed a lot of "snake catchers".
However, we often see the snake coming out to bask in the sun, and sometimes when walking on the road, we also see it standing sideways in the middle of the road, but in fact, we see the snake basking in the sun, not necessarily really basking in the sun, then if it is not basking in the sun, what is it doing? Let's go into it and see why.

Speaking of its origin, or first of all, the degree of danger of the snake is also well known, although some snakes are not poisonous, but people who do not know do not want to touch them, this is because you do not know whether it is poisonous, if you are accidentally bitten, you should tie a rope in the middle of the heart and the wound in time to prevent the snake venom in the blood from flowing into the heart, and then it is timely medical treatment.
So don't touch them randomly, in the face of poisonous snakes, many snake catchers do not dare to enlarge, and even many snake catchers are killed under the body of poisonous snakes because of this.
If you are lucky, you encounter a non-venomous snake, although being bitten will not cause death, but the snake's ability to strangle is very strong, and it is very dangerous to be entangled, especially those farmers who go out to farm, the probability of encountering snakes is also much greater, and in winter, snakes are basically in a state of hibernation.
But it should be noted that in the summer, when the snakes frequently go out, and those farmers who cultivate the land, when they go out to farm, will often see the snake lying in the middle of the road, especially the snake that is half-cut outside, half-cut body, everyone will wonder, why does the snake bask in the sun like this?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="31" > sun-loving snake</h1>
We all know that snakes like to bask in the sun, but why do they like to bask in the sun? Because the snake belongs to the warm animal, not the constant temperature animal, the so-called temperature change animal, that is, there is no self-regulating temperature system in its body, so the body temperature of the snake will change with the change of the external temperature, if the outside weather is cold, then the body temperature of the snake will also become cold.
Because they can't control their body temperature, they can only rely on the outside world to help, which leads to snakes needing the help of the sun all the time, which also causes a lot of snakes to not be active at night.
Snakes can only increase their body temperature through the irradiation of the sun, and then they can move on their own, which is why snakes like to bask in the sun so much, but the snake that basks in the sun is not necessarily really basking in the sun, it may be in the "sunbathing baby".

Why? In fact, this is related to the breeding of snakes, because there are two kinds of breeding methods of snakes, which are:
1. Oviparous reproduction
Egg breeding is easy to understand, that is, when these snakes breed offspring, they are bred in the state of egg birth, so that the breeding snakes are the most common in the south, and what we usually see is basically egg snakes.
As the name suggests, when breeding, the eggs are born, and then placed in the snake nest built in advance (usually the rat hole) to lay the eggs, after placing the order, they will hatch the offspring in this way, most of the eggs are in the south, because the temperature in the south is relatively stable, and the temperature is higher than the north.
2. Oviparous reproduction
In addition to the egg-born snake, there will also be egg-born snakes, the so-called oviparous birth is directly hatched in the belly of the snake, this is because in cold areas, if the snake gives birth to the egg, due to the low temperature, it is difficult to hatch on its own, and the snake itself can not regulate its own body temperature, which is more difficult to hatch its offspring.
At this time, the snake will let the egg hatch in its own body, but as we said, the snake does not have the ability to regulate body temperature, so generally at this time, if there is a sun, it is necessary to go out to bask in the sun, so as to ensure that its body temperature can rise.
In addition to adjusting its own temperature, it can also allow itself to incubate eggs in the body, but its head is rarely needed, so it will see half of its body in the grass, half of it is basking in the sun outside, in fact, the snake is not willing to do so, because the snake's vision is not so good, but also lying in the middle of the road, very prone to danger, but the snake's sense of smell is very good, can be avoided in advance.
But fundamentally, the original intention is not to lie like this, in order to reproduce offspring, only in this way can we better reproduce offspring, which is also a manifestation of maternal love, so why is it said that the snake is "shaiva".

So the snake that we often see is really not necessarily basking in the sun, it may be inaccurate in the "sunbathing", but it should be remembered that whether it is basking in the sun or "sunbathing", don't mess with it when you see it, in case you encounter a poisonous snake, it is dangerous, but there are also people in the countryside who say that snakes lying horizontally are blocking the way, which is a bad omen, but this is not scientific basis, so don't be too superstitious.
The above is the content brought by the editor, so for the snake lying in the middle of the road, is it a baby or a "roadblock"? Everyone who knows what is welcome to leave a message in the comments section below.
