& lt feeding equipment >

Feeding equipment can use simple, tall, spacious, ventilated but strong feeding boxes, and of course, it must be equipped with a strong locking top cover to prevent them from coming out. Some dead branches can be arranged in the feeding box for them to climb, and it can also help to remove the old skin when molting. The substrate can be reptile sand or pika sawdust, or even artificial turf or newspaper, as long as it can be kept clean and easy to clean. Qimo used sawdust for pika, and the thickness of the shop was 1-2cm, which could prepare a hiding cave, but it would hinder its taming skills in the future.

Strong water bags should be set in the box for drinking and bathing. Prepare a red light bulb with low wattage for night use, which can be used for watching at night and keeping warm at ordinary times. In winter, electric blankets can also be used to keep warm.

< temperature and humidity >;

Keep it at 24-30 degrees Celsius during the day and around 19-23 degrees Celsius at night, but after feeding, raise the temperature to help it digest food and keep the humidity dry.

& lt feed >

As long as the mice are fed, the interval between each feeding is about 7- 10 days, but remember not to feed them too much or too much at a time, because too much or too much food will make them vomit. And don't disturb them for a while after each meal, so as not to make them vomit. Because according to experienced predecessors, millet snakes, especially larvae, vomit after eating is very easy to die.

& lt daily care >

It's simple. Just keep the feeding environment clean. Under normal circumstances, they will be excreted three days or more after eating, and the owner should clean up the excrement as soon as possible, because the ammonia in the excrement will irritate and hurt the snake's eyes.

During their molting, their emotions will be particularly tense, so it is best to avoid harassing them during this period. In addition, the feeding environment should be kept as dry as possible, because improper humidity may cause them to peel off. Of course, the feeding environment is often disturbed, which makes them nervous, peeling and refusing to eat.
