Du Youshun, former chief engineer of Wuhan Zoo, professor-level senior engineer, and animal expert, told the Changjiang Daily reporter that this is a king snake, also known as a king snake, which is a common large non-venomous snake in Hubei. The king snake is a terrestrial wild animal protected by the state and has important ecological, scientific and social values. King snakes generally do not attack humans. After citizens find a king snake at home, they can immediately call 110 or 119 to call the police for help and ask professionals to go to the scene to drive it away.
The Wuhan Fire Rescue Detachment reminds citizens that snakes have entered an active period recently. If you encounter them "unexpectedly", don't panic. To prevent snakes from entering your home, you should keep doors and windows closed at all times; when you go out to play, do not enter dense unmaintained forests, do not easily turn over grass and rocks, and do not stay in front of caves where snakes may be hiding. Snakes generally do not take the initiative to attack humans. When encountering a snake, do not disturb it and retreat slowly to a safe area. If unfortunately you are bitten by a snake, stay calm and try to remember the basic characteristics of the snake so that the doctor can prescribe the right medicine for subsequent treatment. You can tie the end of the bite wound near the heart with a rope, etc., and rinse the wound repeatedly with clean water and remove it in time. Hospital diagnosis and treatment.
