Silver ring snake is mainly distributed in Anhui, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Fujian, Taiwan, Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Guizhou and Yunnan.
Although the silver ring snake is a temperature-changing animal, the impact of temperature changes on its activities is relatively obvious, especially the tolerance to low temperatures. The general temperature requirement during the activity period is 8~35℃. The activity is relatively normal at 18~25℃, and rigidity is prone to occur below 8℃. So it will choose to hibernate from November to April of the following year, and its appetite will gradually grow in May.
In summer, the silver ring snake hides in piles of rocks, ridges or caves at the foot of the wall during the day. It goes out at night, especially on stuffy nights, and it is more frequent, and returns to the caves until dawn. The silver ring snake also goes out to move during the day, and it is particularly active before and after thunderstorms.
2. Toxicity and treatment
snake venom is divided into two types. One is blood circulation snake venom and the other is nerve venom. The nerve venom has no obvious characteristics at the beginning, so it will be ignored for medical treatment. In fact, it will die due to nerve and heart paralysis. Silver ring snake venom belongs to this type.
It does not hurt if the silver ring snake bites people, but if it is bitten and not treated in time, it will kill in a very short time. After dialing 120 when you are bitten, squeeze out the poison in time and wash it with clean water (note: never use your mouth, as it will not cause poisoning to enter the body and cause poisoning).
