Silver ring snake hatchlings appear docile after emerging from their shells and hide in dark, hidden places nearby, such as under boards and bricks. If there is a loose surface, the young snake will also burrow into its depths. Young snakes have egg yolk in their bodies when they emerge from their shells, which they use as nourishment at first and then begin to feed on after a few days. Young snakes can be raised in a wooden box about 15 centimeters high, 50 centimeters wide and 100 centimeters long after 1 week of shelling, with a screen above the box, 5 centimeters of soil at the bottom of the box, and a shallow water basin on the corner, with a hole at the bottom of the basin, which the young snakes like very much to hide in the bottom of the basin.

Usually young silver ring snakes eat small water snakes (water snakes just hatched baby snakes), small eels, earthworms and so on. The critters can be placed in a water bowl or on a board, with several more. The critters should be alive, or if dead they must be fresh. Since young snakes mostly feed in dark and quiet conditions, they can be fed in the evening. Some young snakes do not feed automatically, and can be hand-fed at this time. Commonly used feeds are:

1. Juice feed

Take a fresh shelled raw egg, beat it and put it in a bowl, add 1 drop of colored liver oil, 2 ml of vitamin B complex, 1 piece of powdered calcium tablets, as well as an appropriate amount of flour and so on, and then mix it all together, and feed it. The method of feeding is: take 1 ballpoint pen refill that has been used up, and pull it on the head after burning it with fire, so that the head is rounded and blunt. Put it on the head of the syringe, and then suck the above feed.

Then put the front end of the refill into the mouth of the young snake and push it into the mouth of the young snake. Push people, young snakes may bite the quill, this time can not be pushed and pulled, in order to prevent injury to the teeth, push the depth of about 5 centimeters or so. Before injection, there should not be air bubbles in the quill, and it should be filled before injecting into the young snake's stomach. Generally, it should be filled up before injecting into the young snake's stomach. Generally, it should be filled up once in 5 days. After filling, the young snake can be placed far away from its habitat, so that it can crawl for some distance to reach the nest, which is helpful in preventing vomiting. In addition, the temperature of the flowing juice should be consistent with the room temperature, or slightly higher 1?2 ℃.

2. stiff loach

The loach in the water, gradually add hot water, about 40?50 ℃, the loach heat intolerable, violent struggle to die, and soon stiff. Once stiffened immediately removed to feed the snake. With a blunt tip of the regent, the young snake's mouth slightly open, the other hand with tweezers to hold the front of the stiff loach, the loach head into the mouth of the young snake, slowly push people. And then all pushed people, pinch the head of the young snake, in its ventral surface slowly from top to bottom rubbing, the loach will be pushed away from the mouth of about 10 centimeters can be.

Young snakes should be placed in an environment of 12?15 ℃ for overwintering, and the overwintering place should be dry. It is not advisable to overwinter with adult snakes to prevent being eaten. Humidity can be regulated with a basin of water.
