Hello everyone, I am a star brother said nong, mention the snake, that is a frightening animal, but also some myths and legends in the colorful protagonists, such as the white snake in the "Legend of the White Snake", the green snake, the tomb robbery theme to guard the treasure of the cobra, python, etc., giving people the feeling of being eerie and terrifying, the rural old man said that the millennium python exists, in the early years there was a giant python to rob the deeds of the dragon, can the snake live for a thousand years? How long does it last?
There are many kinds of snakes, divided into poisonous snakes and non-venomous snakes, the life of the general snake is 2 to 5 years, because the wild snake is limited by food and natural enemies, the life span can not reach the longest, the longest living snake is the red-tailed grasshopper, recorded that it lived for 40 years, because the snake's lifestyle is different, some on land, some in the cave, some in the water, there have been reports in the deep sea of the South Pacific, found a sea snake, verified by zoologists lifespan of up to 1867 years, which is also the longest lifespan recorded in the current wild history of the snake.
How long is the life of the snake, it is estimated that it can only be observed in the breeding environment, the general small snake life is shorter, the large snake life is slightly longer, the snake of the same size is not poisonous than the poisonous life span is short, according to reliable records, the small snake life expectancy is about 1-3 years, such as the spotted snake, the wheat snake, etc., the slightly larger snake life expectancy is about 5-10 years, such as cauliflower snake, etc., large snake life expectancy up to 10-25 years, such as king cobra, python, etc., according to the rules of the body, non-venomous python life is the longest, in the absence of natural enemies to kill, Lifespan of up to 45 years.
And in our northern region, most of them are small snakes, the longest life expectancy is only seven or eight years, I remember one year, someone in our village dug a sweet potato cellar, digging and digging, found a big snake with thick arms, red eyes, tongue core, scared us to quickly escape, digging red cellar people feel unlucky, just dug the pit to fill in again, the village old man said, such a large snake at least live for more than ten years, otherwise it can not grow so thick body, this is also the largest snake I have ever seen.
Snake is a kind of temperate animal, every year to August and September, it began to hibernate, do not eat or drink, has been staying up until March of the next year, snakes can breed a year after birth, due to the complex wild habitat, the life expectancy is relatively short, but in captivity, the life of the snake is relatively long, someone has done experiments, artificially raised snakes can live 4-6 years, up to 8 years, and the same poisonous snake can be twice the life of non-venomous snakes, the larger gray rat snake life expectancy is less than half of the bamboo leaf green, which is scientifically verified.
In short, the rural old man said that there is a thousand-year-old python, perhaps just a myth and legend, after all, everyone in the real society has not seen, the snake is subject to natural conditions, generally live for more than 10 years, it is estimated that it is the old life star of the snake world.
