My Live Life at the Zoo

Chapter 327 Two-headed Snake: Mom!I'm hungry!
It is recorded in some documents that the flash scale python pays special attention to the 'family concept'.

Simply put, after laying eggs, the boa constrictor mother will stay by her side until the baby boa constrictor emerges from its shell.

The first time after the baby python breaks its shell is to remember the mother's temperature, so that it can follow the mother with the smell before it can live independently.

Kind of like most birds.

This point is completely different from most snakes and pythons.

Most pythons are oviparous, and after mating, they lay their eggs in the right place and leave at last.

As for whether it can be hatched, whether it will be eaten by other beasts, or whether it will survive in the end depends on God's will.

If it's an oviparous python, it's more casual.

The snake mother will expel the baby snake like poop.

As for the little snake that left its mother's body, there are only four words it can do, which is to fend for itself.

Therefore, compared with the laissez-faire method of raising babies like most of the same kind, the behavior of the flash scale python is very rare and more heart-warming.

As for the behavior in front of him, it is obvious that this newly hatched flash scale python regards itself as a mother or a father.

Li Xiao had a serious face, with black lines all over his face.

But the little boa constrictor seemed to have found its relatives, and slowly crawled around Li Xiao's fingers, having a great time playing.

You could tell they were very happy.

From time to time, he spat out snake letters to lightly lick Li Xiao's fingers, or rubbed his fingers with his small head, which was no bigger than a finger.

The expression of this kind of action is naturally a gradual trust and dependence on Li Xiao.

I know you trust me a lot, and I'm very relieved, but...

Don't treat me as your parents! ! !

I'm really not the real father of you two!
I don't have the ability of Xu Xian to sleep a snake! !

Li Xiao let out a hysterical roar from the bottom of his heart.

The two-headed snake couldn't hear it at all, and couldn't understand it.

However, the tourists in the live broadcast room saw Li Xiao's expression of wanting to cry but not tears, and they had already seen it clearly, and immediately laughed gloatingly.

"Congratulations to the director for being promoted to a baby daddy again. This time, I am going to be a baby daddy to the two-headed flash scale python, and the responsibility is heavy!"

"Hahahahaha, it turns out that the director's trip to Tianshan Mountain was actually a trip to Daddy!"

"I can't, look at the principal's expression, hahaha! I can't laugh anymore!"

"..."

Li Xiao looked at the two little guys in his hands, then looked up at the drone resentfully, and sighed, "I really didn't come to be an animal daddy!"

"If the head of the garden doesn't want to be the father of the two-headed snake, you can send the two-headed snake to me. I don't mind raising them at all."

"It will be fun to raise such a cute little one at home."

"Come on, don't forget, this is a two-headed snake. Its body has defects. If there is a problem in the breeding process, ordinary people really can't handle it. Maybe it will die within two days. Let a professional gardener come.”

"Whether the double-headed snake can survive or not, I'm suddenly so worried!"

"The two-headed snake must be fine!"

"I don't know if the double-headed snake can grow up safely, but I know that if it was born in India, it would be worshiped as a god by the people there."

"That's the truth. After all, India is a magical country where men marry cows."

"You guys are pulling away! Don't worry! This two-headed snake is healthy and nothing will happen!"

Li Xiao interrupted the chat in the live broadcast room, and began to popularize science patiently, saying: "The so-called double-headed snake actually refers to a two-headed snake with a forked neck.

The reason for this situation is that the genes of the snake, especially the part that controls the head, are unstable and prone to mutation, that is, the mutant snake.

Two-headed snakes belong to one-egg twins, and due to the influence of environmental and other factors during the development process, deformed fetuses are formed.Environmental pollution caused by excessive use of chemical agents, pesticides, fertilizers, etc. may cause this gene mutation.

In 08, a double-headed snake was found in Burma, USA.

In 09, a farmer in Huaxia Bazhou found a two-headed snake.

On July 15, 7, a double-headed Chinese cobra appeared in the snake garden of the NN Zoo. It is also known as the Zhoushan cobra. This double-headed snake has its own brain and heart in addition to the stomach and other digestive systems and reproductive systems. Organs, such as eyes and tongue, are separated at six centimeters from the snake's head to the body.

Because of their special body structure, two-headed animals generally live a short life.

However, a two-headed snake named "us" miraculously lived in an aquarium in St. Louis, USA, for 8 years, and died of natural causes.

It was an albino double-headed rat snake with a body length of about 1.2 meters and a body thickness of about [-] centimeters. These two data are the same as those of ordinary rat snakes. There is no doubt that its head is whitish, but its head is slightly pale. Red, also has dual reproductive organs.

Not long after the double-headed snake was born, the aquarium bought it at a high price of 1.5 yuan.

However, the staff at the time believed that they would all die early just like other double-headed snakes.

However, the two-headed snake unexpectedly survived, and its life span was as long as 8 years.

Scientists say this is due to its unusual physiology, with two mouths connected to a stomach.

Combined with the above, as long as the body is healthy enough and there are no accidents during the growth process, the double-headed snake will live to a natural death! "

Li Xiao's popular science made all the tourists in the live broadcast room heave a sigh of relief.

At least they can be sure that in the next few years, they will be able to see the strange double-headed snake in Li Xiao's live broadcast room.

In addition, you can also visit Li Xiao's zoo.

Although Li Xiao really wanted to release the two-headed snake back to nature, but since the two-headed snake had already regarded him as his own father, he couldn't be cruel and leave it alone.

When he came to the table, Li Xiao was going to clean up all the scissors and pliers on the table, and he was about to put the double-headed snake on the ground.

however……

The flash-scale python thought that Li Xiao was about to abandon him again, and immediately became dissatisfied. Its little tail wrapped tightly around Li Xiao's wrist, and the black and white heads on the left and the right hissed wildly, looking very angry. excited.

"Hey, my little ancestors, I'm really afraid of you, I won't abandon you, I just want to clean up the table, you should make room for my hands."

Li Xiao said helplessly.

The double-headed snake understood Li Xiao's words, and it swam down from the hand, retreated to the wrist, and entangled itself.

Looking at it from a distance, those who didn't know thought that Li Xiao had a black and white bracelet wrapped around his wrist!
Li Xiao smiled and began to clear the table.

As soon as I finished packing, the system notification sounded in my mind.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the second stage of the special time-limited task: rescue!"

"The third phase of the mission [Guardianship] has started!"

"Mission details: Congratulations to the host for being recognized by the flash-scaled double-headed snake. From today on, the host is their guardian!

What the host has to do is to care and take good care of the two-headed snakes as much as possible until they successfully molt for the first time! "

Got it!
I really want to be a full-time dad myself!

Li Xiao sighed.

Fortunately, I didn't abandon the double-headed snake just now, otherwise, in order to complete the task, now I have to go to the forest to search again.

But even though he sighed, Li Xiao was very happy that the double-headed snake had successfully broken its shell and survived.

After all, the number of double-headed snakes is small, and this is an extremely rare flash-scale python. Being able to find them and successfully save them is of great significance in various aspects.

Since they have now regarded themselves as their own fathers...

Then raise it!

Anyway, my own zoo is very big, and there are already two king cobras in the snake garden, not bad for this two-headed snake.

Next, Li Xiao looked for some dry firewood nearby.

Just now, in order to provide enough temperature for the double-headed snake, Li Xiao added too much dry wood to the bonfire. In order to keep the flame alive until dawn, Li Xiao could only continue to search.

During the whole process, Li Xiao was not worried about the double-headed snake, nor was he at all afraid that the surrounding trees would accidentally rub and scratch the tender skin of the double-headed snake.

Because the double-headed snakes are very smart, they sometimes swim to Li Xiao's wrists, and sometimes climb to his shoulders to look forward.

Li Xiao is equivalent to their mounts, so they enjoy themselves very comfortably.

After all this tossing, it was already late at night.

Although this place is not suitable for camping, Li Xiao has no time to look for it, so he can only deal with it temporarily for one night.

He took out the single-person tent, spread the folding sleeping bag, and climbed directly into the tent with the double-headed snake.

Xiao Hei and Guo'er were watching the night outside.

Xiao Hei slept soundly, probably because he was too tired. He didn't notice that Li Xiao had helped the two-headed snake hatch, and he didn't know how it would react when it woke up and saw the two-headed snake.

Simply padding his stomach, Li Xiao, who has been walking for a day, is also a little tired like Xiao Hei, yawning and getting ready to go to bed.

however……

The two-headed snake didn't intend to just "let him go".

The two-headed snake slowly crawled to Li Xiao's palm, wagging its tail non-stop.

what does this mean?
Li Xiao didn't understand.

When the two-headed snake saw that Li Xiao didn't respond, it was obviously a little anxious, and even opened its small mouths that hadn't grown teeth, and lightly bit Li Xiao's fingertips.

Because there are no teeth, it is quite comfortable to bite.

sort of like...

Bite (take apart)! ! !
No, got the point wrong!

This behavior of the two-headed snake is obviously abnormal.

Li Xiao looked at the two-headed snake carefully, and soon understood.

It turned out to be hungry!
Two-headed snakes are just like human babies. When they are hungry, they will suck things randomly.

It's just that it's so late now, there are many dangers and wild animals outside, and I'm not familiar with the environment yet, so where should I find food for them?

Li Xiao thought for a while, and simply took out a small half can of minced meat from his bag.

This is the leftover part of the snow leopard baby's food at that time.

Pythons are also carnivorous, so it should be fine to use canned meat, right?

Anyway, it's just for such a night, and when it dawns, I will find suitable food for them.

Generally, when the imagination is beautiful, the reality must be very skinny.

Fragrant canned minced meat is a delicacy for snow leopard babies, and they especially like it.

But when it was placed in front of the double-headed snake, people didn't buy it at all.

Don't even look at it!
[Tao Yaoyao]: Director, I think you should try live insects or small animals for them?

Tao Yaoyao stayed in the live broadcast room all the time, and when she saw this scene, she immediately stopped talking.

Although she is not a professional snake expert, she has been staying at the Lonely Mountain Zoo during this time. In order to better understand the habits of the animals and take better care of the animals, she will find all kinds of animals in private. Naturally, she still knows something about animals now.

Although she hasn't read any books on rare species like the flash-scale python, they are both snakes, so their habits should be similar.

Although minced meat is meat, it is an immobile food.

And the signal collector of the little double-headed snake has not yet fully developed, that is, the snake letter, so naturally it cannot feedback, so it does not know how to eat.

After Tao Yaoyao finished expressing her opinions, some tourists also talked about their own thoughts.

"Thank you for your advice!"

Li Xiao nodded, sighed, and said: "Actually, I also want to feed them some live insects or small animals, such as baby white mice, but the conditions are limited now, and it's too dark outside. I can't do it."

After finishing speaking, Li Xiao unzipped the windproof curtain of the tent and looked outside with his head.

black!
Everything is black except black!
If you go out rashly, danger will definitely accompany you!
"Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!"

Just when Li Xiao was hesitating, the two-headed snake opened its mouth wide and screamed.

Little white head: Mom!I'm hungry!

Little black head: Mom!I'm hungry too!
sweat! ! !
I'm a man, not a mother!
Li Xiao intends to explain it to them, but now the priority is to find food.

Facing the baby two-headed snake waiting to be fed, he had to go out!

Before setting off, Li Xiao first brought the head-mounted searchlight, a folding spatula and an insect net.

Worried about being bitten to death by mosquitoes deep in the forest, Li Xiao subconsciously wanted to take another handful of crushed lemon eucalyptus leaves from his backpack and smear it on.

But, can the double-headed snake stand the smell?
After having doubts in his heart, Li Xiao tentatively picked a piece of lemon eucalyptus leaf, put it in front of the two-headed snake, and observed it for a minute or two. After making sure that the two-headed snake did not show any discomfort, Li Xiao was relieved She rubbed the crushed lemon eucalyptus leaves on many places on her body, and crawled out of the tent with Xiao Hei.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Xiao Hei is just like a human being, but he is angry when he wakes up suddenly, and he is very dissatisfied when he is woken up suddenly.

Some people were woken up suddenly, and even beat people angrily.

After all, if you don't rest well, your temper will become very irritable.

However, after Xiao Hei saw that the baby double-headed snakes had hatched, and still wanted to find food for them, he walked into the forest with Li Xiao lovingly.

In this way, Xiao Hei followed Li Xiao to find food.

Guo Er stayed to watch the camp, preventing other wild beasts from breaking in.
