Chapter 455: King Cobra and Ball Python

The emerald green and beautiful color, the delicately arranged scales, and the temperament of the dusty and beautiful, Shi Xi immediately thought of the green dragon in the mythical story!

If there really is a green dragon, it should look like this, right?

It's just that this snake is relatively small, only two or three fingers thick, not much bigger than a pig-nosed snake, and if it is larger, it will be more powerful.

Lu Ye smiled: "This is a scaly tree viper!" It is also a very good-looking snake, and its color is very bright and changeable. The origin is the tropical rainforests of central and western Africa. ”

The teammate asked curiously, "Hey, why do its eyes have white?" ”

Lu Ye explained: "Its eyes are not like this, and it has been molting recently, so its eyes look a relatively vague layer of white.

The eyes of snakes are always protected by a transparent and hard cuticle, which feels like glass balls to the touch, so snakes have no eyelids and cannot blink.

When they sleep, their pupils squint into a line and they look like they have their eyes closed. Blindfolding, the process of removing the eyelids. ”

In the process of walking forward, I saw a large exhibition hall with an area of more than 100 square meters.

There are a bunch of bamboo shrubs arranged in it, some of which are relatively thin arrow bamboos, and some of which are relatively thick bamboo poles, which are purely cut for decoration.

The ground is covered with ferns, dried yellow bamboo leaves, and some rocks.

Some places are densely greened, while others are relatively sparse and scattered, with a quiet bamboo forest environment.

This exhibition hall, the back is also painted by Zhuang Xiaobai and them on the wall, a deep and verdant bamboo forest, with a stream flowing in the middle, harmoniously integrated with the real bamboo forest environment in front.

Although the general exhibition box environment is already very good, it obviously cannot be compared with the environment of this large exhibition hall.

Shi Xi looked at the exhibition hall and didn't find any creatures for a long time, and he felt strange in his heart.

Lu Ye seemed to see her doubts and explained: "There is a king cobra in this exhibition hall!" It's just that I usually like to stay in that pile of bushes and don't come out to meet people. ”

Shi Xi exclaimed: "King cobra! ”

It looks amazing when you hear the name.

A teammate asked, "Is the king cobra the most powerful?" ”

Lu Ye introduced: "King cobra, also known as KC, over the mountain wind!" It is a very fierce and agile poisonous snake, one of the top ten poisonous snakes in China.

and cobra are both in the cobra family, but it is a separate genus of king cobras.

It is the world's longest venomous snake, with an average adult body growing up to 3 meters, with the highest recorded being 5.85 meters.

Why is the king cobra very ferocious, its Latin scientific name has the meaning of "snake eater", and its prey is mainly other snakes, even venomous snakes, even smaller than their own kind, of course, when hungry, they will also eat some mice, lizards, birds, etc. ”

"Wow!"

Shi Xi and his teammates covered their mouths in shock.

This snake is too fierce, and everyone eats it.

His eyes couldn't help but look at the exhibition hall, wanting to see such a ferocious snake, Lu Ye smiled when he saw this: "It's not so easy to see the king cobra, it may only come out for a few minutes or ten minutes every day." ”

Shi Xi said with some pity: "Ah, you really have to be lucky to see it." ”

The teammates wondered, "It's only been out for such a short time, so why don't you remove the bushes and stones?" Isn't that ready to be seen? ”

Lu Ye said with a smile: "Animals will also feel pressured when they are watched, and the shrubs are arranged to provide shelter for it, so that it can have a choice."

For animals that don't often come out to show their faces, we also have AR glasses, and you can scan the QR code next to it to see the video of the animal's activities. Want to try it? ”

Shi Xi was surprised: "It's so advanced!" ”

I took the AR glasses and put them on and tried them on, and the video was obviously shot in this exhibition hall environment, only to see a king cobra with jet-black scales and a dark luster, holding its head and spitting out letters, looking cautiously out from the leaves of the bushes.

Then the head gradually stretched and lowered, and the neck fell to the ground, slowly swimming out.

I don't know if it's set off by the environment of the bamboo forest, the dark green is faintly revealed in the jet-black scales, and there are conspicuous white lines.

The muscles are very graceful, and the head is always lifted as it winds forward, keeping some distance from the ground.

When he came to a small withered tree, his head gradually rose to a height of a meter, and he climbed to the top of the tree.

Shi Xi looked at it and returned the AR glasses.

Although she is not so afraid of snakes now, she can even admire them with joy, but only for beautiful and cute snakes!

Like the simple hognose snake, the beautiful and delicate scale tree viper, the king cobra is not within her range of appreciation.

And the clarity of AR glasses to watch videos is not as good as that of mobile phones, but in front of the environment of the exhibition box, there is an extra atmosphere.

Therefore, tourists who like to visit the two climbing halls would rather not use AR glasses and run over many times, just to wait to see the scene of the king cobra coming out with their own eyes.

However, those tourists who come once in a while, and want to see the scene of animal activities, and do not have so much time to squat repeatedly, with such AR glasses, you can leave satisfied.

Under the leadership of Lu Ye, he came to an exhibition box.

The bottom of the box is covered with grainy sandy soil, scattered with some millennium trees with grass-like leaves, raised termite mounds, and small trees without leaves, which has the dryness of an African savanna.

Inside, there was a snake with a bright yellow body and a little white vein, and its eyes were clear red.

With a body length of more than a meter, a slender head and tail, and a waist and abdomen as thick as an arm, it curls up quietly beside the termite mound.

Shi Xi was surprised: "What kind of snake is this, it's also very beautiful!" ”

"This is an albino ball python!"

"Albino?"

Lu Ye explained while unboxing: "Albinism is not albinism without any pigment, but albinism that lacks melanin, showing white and yellow, and even a small amount of red or orange.

Because the hognose snake and the ball python are both relatively mature pet snakes, many beautiful color strains have been bred, like the previous hognose snake is also albino and characterized by red eyes.

Well, but pythons are not allowed to be raised in our country.

Your reward today is to clean up the ball python's exhibition box and give the ball python a hand. I'm not going to do it this time, you can get it yourself. ”

Shi Xi said cautiously: "Okay, I'll give it a try!" ”

First, he stretched out his hand, kept some distance, and greeted softly, "Hello? ”

This ball python is also often used as a project animal, and it is very used to being touched by tourists.

Smelling the unfamiliar smell, not only did he not be afraid, but he spit out the letter and leaned up slowly.

Shi Xi's mood relaxed a lot when he saw this!

He held the ball python out with both hands and wrapped it around his neck.

"Hehe" smiled and took a selfie with a selfie stick!

Coming to the two climbing halls, not only eliminated my stereotype of snakes, but also raised a lot of postures, but also stroked snakes, which is indeed a good reward!

In this way, the last place in the bamboo shoot picking competition is not bad.
