Black-tip snakes

Zoacys dhumnades is mainly distributed in various provinces and cities in China and Taiwan. Because the medicinal value of black tip snakes is very high, the number of wild snakes has not increased in recent years, and the situation has declined significantly, mainly due to the damage of recreational areas and a large number of captures.
Snake breeding in southern China is in a semi-cultured and semi-wild state. Breeding a black-tip snake from a baby snake to a finished snake weighing more than 500 grams is much cheaper than buying a snake in a farmer's market. The price of a black-tip snake in a farmer's market is 50-60 yuan/catty. The annual cost of a black-tip snake, including food, maintenance and labor fees, is 70-80 yuan. Breeding is unprofitable, so many snake farms have changed careers.
