Procedure of snake farming
11
How to culture (traditionally)
The snake farming started recently in our country. In different
place of Bangladesh snake farms are visible. The cultivation
process is very easy but difficult to management.
 Make hole on the surface of house according to its body shape.
 In the winter season can be used some straw on the hole to
provide comfort to the snake.
 One the other hand, would be used some concrete structure to
keep the snake.
 Small boxes are also used to keep the snake.
12
Traditional technique
13
1. Milking
• One “milking “of a snake produces about 100 mg of liquid
venom, which in turn produces about 10 mg of dry venom.
• Snakes can be “milked” on average about 20 times each
season. Thus, a single viper will produce 2000 mg liquid or 0.2
gm dry venom.
14
2.Feeding Snakes
• Snake foods may contain mice, rats and chickens. The rodents
should be clean and healthy.
• A snake may consume one or two mice at one feeding per
week. It is advisable to breed rats in the snake farm.
• However, initially, the farm may feed the snakes with small
chickens
15
3. Snake Breeding
• Reproduction in snakes varies between species –some lay
eggs, just like the dinosaurs did, some give birth to live young,
just like mammals.
• A breeder must know the sex of the snakes, for example, corn
snakes become sexually mature between 18 and 24 months.
• Before this time it is very difficult to tell what sex they are
because their reproductive organs have not developed enough
to be noticeable.
• This is a very delicate procedure to only experienced people
should perform such a task.
• Snakes are believed to live for more than 20 years in the wild,
however, in captivity, some species will live as long as 50
years.
16
4.Care for the Eggs
• The position of each egg as it lie in the nest box and maintain
this position when transferring the eggs into the incubator.
• The eggs should be placed inside a container which should
then be placed inside an incubator that will maintain
temperature at 820F and should have humidity.
• The eggs should hatch in 6 to 8 weeks but it can take more
weeks.
17
Problems of snake farming
In Bangladesh - snake farmers are faced different types of
problems. There are two main problems ….
• Capital problem: Government as well as NGO does not
provide any financial support to the snake farmers. It is
consider as a main barrier to develop snake farming.
• License problem: Our government does not provide any
license to snake farmers that is also consider as a barrier to
develop snake farming.
Others problems are ….
• Proper guideline of snake farming.
• Academic knowledge.
• Skillful or experienced manpower.
18
• Some dishonest persons continue sell venom to south Asian &
European country in illegal way.
• The proper managemental system & unabundant help of Govt.
& scarcity of trained person is also responsible for this
condition
19
Conclusion
 The snake farmers are in poor condition in Bangladesh.
Government should take responsibility on this area.
 Because our nearest country has been developed many years
ago in this sector.
 From this area they produce row materials with of medicine,
goods etc revenue.
 One the hand our farmers don’t get any permission from
government to develop their farm or business.
 That’s why our farmers go wrong track to sell venom to the
other country illegally.
 Due to unavailability of commercial snake farm in Bangladesh,
we are greatly losing remittance.

  • 11. Procedure of snake farming 11
  • 12. How to culture (traditionally) The snake farming started recently in our country. In different place of Bangladesh snake farms are visible. The cultivation process is very easy but difficult to management.  Make hole on the surface of house according to its body shape.  In the winter season can be used some straw on the hole to provide comfort to the snake.  One the other hand, would be used some concrete structure to keep the snake.  Small boxes are also used to keep the snake. 12
  • 14. 1. Milking • One “milking “of a snake produces about 100 mg of liquid venom, which in turn produces about 10 mg of dry venom. • Snakes can be “milked” on average about 20 times each season. Thus, a single viper will produce 2000 mg liquid or 0.2 gm dry venom. 14
  • 15. 2.Feeding Snakes • Snake foods may contain mice, rats and chickens. The rodents should be clean and healthy. • A snake may consume one or two mice at one feeding per week.
