[ Agricultural Products Network] Qianshan Evening News news, on the evening of the 6th, Ms. Ma , a resident of Xihonglou Community, Dagushan Street, accidentally discovered that there was a snake inside when she was eating dragon fruit at home! After being identified by the staff of the Anshan City Wildlife Conservation Station, this is a young snake of the black-browed snake, which may be hibernating due to cold storage. Ms. Ma has already released the snake.
Ms. Ma told reporters that this dragon fruit was bought in a fruit supermarket in Tiedong Hunan on Saturday. She took it home and put it in the refrigerator until she was taken out on the evening of the 6th. She ate while peeling and ate a third, and found a black thing on top of the dragon fruit. At that time, I could only see the part. She also took a photo and sent a circle of friends. She joked that she had a snake in the dragon fruit and wanted to keep the wine. Despite this, she was not sure at the time and thought it might be a twig. Later, she cut the dragon fruit and poured out the foreign body completely. Only then did she discover that it was really a snake! The snake is thinner than the adult's little fingers, but the patterns and scales on the head, eyes, and body are very clear. If straightened, it must be more than 10 cm long. Although she did not move, Ms. Ma was still very scared, because the dragon fruit has been refrigerated in the refrigerator. I don’t know if the snake is in hibernation. If I wake up later, what should I do with the bite? Ms. Ma did not dare to delay, and the snake did not slow down. She quickly put the bag on the outside and placed it in a secluded place.
Ms. Ma’s photos of dragon fruit and snakes were blown up in the WeChat circle, attracting a lot of attention and comments. Some people said that they had heard about eating small animals and animal eggs in dragon fruit. Ms. Ma went online and found some related posts. Some even said that she had eaten a few gecko eggs from the dragon fruit.
In this regard, the reporter contacted Wang Zhenwei, an engineer at the Anshan Wildlife Conservation Station. According to the photos, he thought that this was a young snake of the black-browed snake, not a viper. The dragon fruit is produced in the south. It may be that after the young snake has been drilled into the dragon fruit, it happens that the fruit is picked and then put on a plastic bag and transported to the north. It is kept in a cold state, and the snake will automatically enter hibernation at low temperature, so No chance to leave the dragon fruit. It is impossible to judge the life and death of this snake now, and the possibility of hibernation is even greater. Ms. Ma’s release is correct, and the snake will resume its activity when it is above 20°C.
