Chapter 183: The Experience of Raising Poisonous Snakes
In the morning, there was a meeting to discuss the design of the exhibition boxes of the two climbing halls and the supporting popular science exhibition boards.
After eating at noon, two experienced old reptile keepers invited from the Triangle Zoo came here in the afternoon to conduct special training for their staff, and Fang Ye went to receive them!
Many reptiles pose a threat to the safety of their keepers, such as crocodiles, monitor lizards, large snakes and venomous snakes.
Crocodiles and large lizards will not only bite the keeper, but also use a powerful tail sweep to make the keeper lose balance and fall, the claws of large lizards are also very sharp, which can cause deep scratches, pythons and anaconds have a huge winding force, adult individuals can strangle large mammals including humans, and even if they escape strangulation, sharp teeth can cause serious trauma.
One of the most dangerous is undoubtedly the venomous snake, such as the poisonous cobra, the venom sprayed can accurately hit a small target within a range of 2-3 meters, if sprayed into the eyes of the keeper, it will lead to blindness if not treated in time, so it is necessary to wear goggles when operating on the cobra.
Most of the snakes introduced in the first wave of the zoo are non-venomous snakes, and the only poisonous snakes are tree vipers and bamboo leaf greens, and the tree vipers have not yet been transported.
Although I have communicated with the big guy who raises this kind of thing before, I consulted about the places that need to be paid attention to when raising these more dangerous reptiles, and I also went to find some information, but zoo breeding is different from individual breeding after all!
For example, the preparation of antivenom serum, the serum is very troublesome to preserve, to be stored for a long time must be stored in a low-temperature refrigerator of minus 20 degrees to minus 70 degrees, thawing needs to be put into a 4 degree refrigerator to dissolve for a day, and then put it at room temperature to dissolve all, and 4 degrees refrigerator can only be stored for a month.
Therefore, individuals, including some small farms raising venomous snakes, will not prepare antivenom, but if the zoo raises venomous snakes, it is necessary to reserve the serum for a long time and update it regularly.
It is also necessary to carry out a drill plan for venomous snake bites, simulate the emergency treatment measures after the keeper is bitten, clarify the division of labor of each person, and understand the methods of emergency treatment of injuries and the use of serum in case of accidents.
In the reception room of the office building, Fang Ye warmly shook hands with the other side: "Eh, Master Wu is good, Master Jiang is good!" Blue carp, pour a cup of tea for the two masters! ”
The blue carp happily agreed: "Eh, okay! ”
Then I went to brew the tea.
The keepers, Master Wu and Master Jiang, looked a little surprised in their eyes, because they didn't expect that the director of Linhai Zoo turned out to be a young man who looked to be in his twenties, and the director of their Triangle Zoo was in his fifties.
I've also been to some other zoos to communicate, and the director I met is forty years old, and I've never seen such a young one.
But it doesn't mean that Fang Ye is underestimated because of this!
Entering the park, the first feeling is that the environment here is much more beautiful than theirs, and the signs on the peacock lawn on the roadside are also very professional, not the kind of old-fashioned that everyone uses, and the difference in level can be seen from these simple details.
Although a beautiful bamboo forest did not enter, but I heard the keeper who led the way to introduce that there are red pandas inside, and you can also see the outline of a raised giant sphere building in the square, which is said to be a tropical rainforest aviary under construction, and I can't help but be secretly surprised!
This guy is too magnificent, and a pavilion will cost tens of millions, right?
He didn't dare to hold it up, stood up and bent down to shake hands with Fang Ye in turn: "Hello Fang Yuan, don't be so polite!" ”
Fang Ye said sincerely: "No, no, it should be, the two masters are masters at a glance, I also heard from your director before, they are all experienced employees who have taken care of these dangerous reptiles for more than 20 years, and I hope you can give us more guidance and training, and impart a little experience." ”
Seeing that Fang Ye respected him so much, some smiles appeared on the faces of the two masters, and Master Wu touted: "Director Fang is really young and promising, and he manages such a large zoo in an orderly manner. ”
"Eh, thank you, thank you." Master Jiang took the tea brought by the blue carp, grinned a mouthful of crooked teeth and tried to show kindness, and then nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, the environment here is really good, it is definitely a very comfortable thing to work here, if it had been twenty years earlier, I would definitely want to come here." ”
This is not entirely a boast, and I do envy the employees who can work here!
Fang Ye's eyes lit up: "Master Jiang, you don't have to be twenty years earlier, now we are also recruiting, are you interested in changing places?" ”
Master Wu laughed, and Master Jiang hurriedly waved his hand again and again: "Forget it, I can't move when I'm old." ”
I have been working in the Triangle Zoo for half my life, my house and family are over there, and I am also a relatively senior old man, how can I change to a new city and toss.
After the blue carp poured tea for the two masters, he also poured a cup for Fang Ye and himself, sat beside Fang Ye obediently, picked up the water cup and blew it, took a sip, and listened to them talk.
Although the two masters came to help the breeders with training, it was impossible to urge people to work as soon as they came up, so Fang Ye was ready to chat first, and it just so happened that he was also more interested in the experience of raising poisonous snakes, and asked with blazing eyes: "When the two masters took care of poisonous snakes, what was the most dangerous situation, have they ever been bitten?" ”
When the blue carp heard this question, although he was afraid, he couldn't stop being curious, shrunk his head and looked nervous, hugged the water cup to his chest, and listened carefully.
Master Wu smiled: "I'm responsible for taking care of crocodiles and lizards, and if you want to talk about poisonous snakes, you have to ask Lao Jiang!" ”
Master Jiang subconsciously wanted to take out a cigarette to smoke, but when he saw that there was a girl in the room, he took out the hand stuffed into his pocket again, raised the water glass and blew, thinking about it and recalling: "Of course it is very dangerous, it was not as standardized as it is now, and I have been bitten more than a dozen times for so many years." ”
"Huh~" The blue carp was startled, trembling like a little quail.
Fang Ye also opened his eyes wide and held his breath!
Seeing Fang Ye and the blue carp's reaction, Master Jiang smiled: "It's not all poisonous snakes, it's a python a few times, it hurts after biting, but it's not a big deal, the first time I was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake was a cobra, I was scared to death at the time, but fortunately, I just took a bite without poisoning, and I was more careful later, and I will pay attention to protection when feeding."
However, after two years, I gradually relaxed, and I was a little lucky, I didn't do a good job of protection when I was feeding, and I was bitten by a bamboo leaf! ”
