With more and more pets, some people choose to keep some personality pets: lions, tigers, bears, lizards, ants, etc. There is also a person who has a pet, his pet is a snake!

Speaking of snakes, people think of are cold-blooded, vicious, and scared, but this snake, but the human "feelings", not only with the master to sleep in the same bed but also with the children to play together, what is going on?

Everything is destiny

In a small village called Coconut Village, Huang Kai Ning is happy to show the "pet python" coiled around his neck, which is a 4-meter-long python.

In the face of the endless crowd visit, the python has been very quietly hanging in Huang Kai-king's body and did not show any aggression toward humans, which makes people doubt, snakes can also be used as pets.

The incident also began with the encounter between a person and a snake. 23-year-old Huang Kaining came to his family's betel nut garden to help work in August 1996, the betel nut garden is their family's source of income.

Huang Kai-ning did not dare to neglect, every day when nothing will come here to work, a sickle is a tool for work, this day, after work he was about to sit next to the stone to rest.

A tiny creature attracted his attention, closer look, it was a small dark green snake, about the same length as the palm, thin and thin, a look at the young snake.

Huang Kai Ning carefully held it up, On Hainan Island, there are a lot of snakes, and he grew up working in the field to see a lot, so see this snake is not afraid, instead of compassionate.

The reason is that the snake's tail was wounded by a knife, probably when walking in the grass was cut by a sickle, the dying python lying there, if no one care may be so dead.

Huang Kaining made a spooky decision, he put the snake in his pocket and brought it home, and also found herbs to treat the snake's injuries, Huang Kaining ly a very caring person.

Every time he came across an injured animal, he would bring it home to take care of, he was not afraid of animals, but very fond of them, seeing other people's cats and dogs at home, he was very envious.

But his parents do not allow pets, Huang Kai-ning has always hoped to have a pet, looking at the small python, Huang Kai-Ning moved.

2 months down, the little python gradually has the vitality, the tail injury also gradually recovered, Huang Kai-ning but mixed feelings, wait until the snake is well, is it to let it go? Or to raise it.

He was a bit torn, it is always a snake, and leaving it is a very dangerous move, in case the snake grows up and swallows him directly, it will become a modern version of the "farmer and the snake".

Thinking about it, or ready to put the snake back to nature, 3 months later, the snake completely healed, even the size of the head has also grown a lot, Huang Kaining hold it, one morning it will be released into the wild.

I do not know whether the snake has feelings for Huang Kai-ning, within a few days, it ran back to Huang Kai-king's home, when Huang Kai-ning saw the snake, overjoyed, immediately decided to leave the snake, but also named "Xing Cai".

Huang Kai-ning also became the village's first snake as a pet, others are walking cats and walking dogs, he held a snake every day to go out and about, which scared the village people.

Keeping snakes as pets

After all, snakes are an animalcule, Huang Kaining's mother firmly opposed them, his mother saying to Huang Kaining, "either you send the snake away, or you send me away, I do not dare to live with snakes."

Mother's fears are not unreasonable, Huang Kai-ning raised a python, and although non-toxic, the size will grow too large, often swallowing several times their size creatures, there is no information to show that the python must not attack humans.

The mother, who normally avoids snakes in the wilderness, opposes her son's raising a snake in the house, and because of this, even the people who come to visit the Huang family are less.

At first, Huang Kai-ning would feed "Xingcai" some smaller things, eggs, grasshoppers, earthworms, and so on, and every time he put these things in front of "Xingcai", "Xingcai" would be fed.

"Xingcai" will swallow a bite, not long, "Xingcai" will grow and arms as long, eggs and so on can not meet its appetite.

Huang Kai-ning will grab the larger frogs, and fish to feed "Xingcai", but how to feed the python? Huang Kai-ning has done a lot of homework, he consulted a lot of information on the Internet, but also asked many senior snake breeders, how to feed the python.

The python is an omnivorous carnivore, mammals are its favorite, chickens, ducks, sheep, pigs, deer, and birds, it can eat, so Huang Kai-ning caught a lot of frogs, fish, and mice to feed "Xingcai".

After "Xingcai" ate several times, the only love for rats, Huang Kai-ning will specialize in catching rats, more than 10 a day, at most, "Xingcai" swallowed 30 rats in one breath!

But the python does not eat dead things, once, Huang Kaining bought back chicken legs and chicken meat to feed it, who knew that "Xingcai" was sullen, for the chicken had been cut up and not interested in the slightest.

Huang Kaining had no choice but to buy live chickens and rabbits to feed it, it a meal is worth 2 adult meals, catching mice and frogs is often not enough for "Xingcai" to eat, but also to buy a chicken.

The villagers nearby also provided a lot to the Huang family, and whenever anyone caught a mouse at home, they would immediately send it to "Xingcai" here to give it a full meal.

How to raise "Xingcai"? Huang Kai-ning adopts a free-range approach, allowing it to crawl around the house, chairs, and beds are where it plays.

Huang Kai-ning offeelsfeel cold at night, along with their own body in the swim, wake up and found "Xing Cai" constantly circling Huang Kai-ning.

"It is particularly sticky," stroking the snake's head, Huang Kai-ning a face of relief, this own from childhood to the present "Xing Cai", has become Huang Kai-ning does not want to leave the pet.

"Xing Cai" also sneakiness out alone, Huang Kaining can not see it, not worried at all, because he knows that "Xing Cai" is going out to play alone.

As expected, after 10 days, "Xingcai" quietly slipped back, Huang Kai-ning happily hugged it, carefully checking whether there are wounds left on the body.

In 1997, Huang Kai-king's cousin came home as a guest and was startled by the python, but he watched his cousin happily let it crawl around, and also got into his cousin's clothes to play.

For such a snake as a pet, the cousin still can not adapt, at night, his sleeping cousin suddenly felt a cold thing in their clothes, scared "ah" woke up.

Open the light to see, "Xing Cai" is in the nest around, Huang Kaining rushed over to see, but also a happy face, said nothing while reaching out to hold the python away.

During that time, Huang Kaining has been sleeping with "Xingcai" in the living room, at this time, "Xingcai", has grown to more than 1 meter, standing up to Huang Kaining's waist, which also let Huang Kaining gradually worried.

Problems ensued

The palm size of the python, perhaps still can not make people afraid, but the 1-meter-long python, the body is as thick as a calf, but everyone who has seen it feeding scene, everyone will feel afraid.

Parents were also very scared at first, over time found that the python is not aggressive, they also dare to touch it, and will feed it food, but the heart of the fear still makes the parents and "Xing Cai" keep a distance.

Not only the parents but also the neighbors and the whole village complained that a python was in the village and every family would be afraid when they went out.

"Xingcai" is close to the Huang family, but it does not mean that it is close to the village people, and children do not dare to come out to play, for fear that the python will suddenly attack them.

Huang Kai-ning was constantly approached by people who wanted him to release the python and let it return to the world of nature, and Huang Kai-ning understood in his heart that keeping such a snake could certainly cause fear in others.

Although Huang Kaining has trained "Xingcai", but also to ensure that it will never hurt people, still useless, For any choice, Huang Kaining had to "Xingcai" shut in their own homes, not to let it go out to cause panic.

As "Xingcai" grows day by day, appetite has become bigger and bigger, three or two chickens simply can not meet it, Huang Kaining's wallet a little untenable.

A year down, just the cost of ingredients spent on the body, there are 7,000 yuan, Huang Kaining ordinary farmers, a year down to earn 20,000 yuan.

Just "Xingcai" food expenses, accounted for one-third of his income, he felt overwhelmed, the pressure is very high, in once again let "Xingcai" full meal.

He waved his hand to let it go, and then "Xingcai" disappeared into the dense forest in a flash, which once made Huang Kaining very sad.

But I did not expect the next day, it came back to the Huang family. After several attempts, each time "Xingcai" can sneak back, Huang Kaining never released it again.

Human-snake love affair

He loved "Xingcai" as his pet, "Xingcai" seems to have feelings for him, except for always clinging to Huang Kai-ning, it has never hurt anyone.

Some people nearby came to Huang's house, wanting to see the true face of the python, "Xingcai" will quietly lay there, not moving, each seseesXingcai" people feel that it is unexpectedly docile.

Huang Kai-ning also takes great care of it, winter, "Xingcai" is cold, not a little vitality, he will use warm water in the python bath, but also open the electric heater, so that "Xingcai" warm up.

"Xingcai" often climb into bed, and Huang Kaining sleeps together, he prepared a pillow for it, "Xingcai" is also very spiritual, since then only coiled into a ball in their pillow to sleep.

Later, Huang Kaining has a python pet thing spread to the next village, and more and more people to the Huang family to watch, a girl named Xiaolan, attracted the attention of Huang Kaining.

Xiao-lan also felt that Huang Kai-Ning, who liked animals so much, must be very kind-hearted, and had a good feeling about him.

Until they entered the marriage hall together, "Xingcai" has been a witness to the happiness of the two, On the wedding night, the two sandwiched a "third party", so that Huang Kaining cried and laughed, and had to embrace the cold python to sleep together.

Although it is said that snakes are cold-blooded animals, perhaps it is very psychic, Huang Kaining and Xiaolan married not long, before the son was born, and it seems to know that the infant in swaddling clothes is also its own master.

"During the day, Huang Kaining and his wife would go out, leaving Huang's father and grandson at home, and the python would take on the responsibility of caring for them.

Whether it's taking it as a "horse" to ride, hugging it to kiss it, or putting its face on the python's face, it's very quiet, allowing children to toss and turn.

Now the python has become a giant python, more than 4 meters long, with a thigh-like body, 200 pounds importance, so Huang Kaining can no longer hold him.

Every time someone comes, just the python on the shoulder, it takes a lot of effort, but Huang Kaining is still happy to spend nearly 10 years with the "Xing Cai", a person like a snake who has long formed a deep affection.

"I am now inseparable from it," said Huang Kaining gently stroking the snake's head tenderly, in the summer, he will be with the children, and take the python to swim in the river.

Born swimmer "Xingcai", in the water excitedly swimming around, but also from time to time carrying Huang Kaining's son in the water, the cool river water is suitable for its body temperature.

Later, Huang Kaining's little daughter was born, and the python became his daughter's "bodyguard", playing with his daughter during the day, and circling her at night, acting as her pillow.

In 2015, a Singaporean entrepreneur came to see the python, after viewing it, proposed to use 200,000 yuan to buy "Xing Cai", Huang Kaining refused, he said to others "how much money I do not sell!

But the reality of the problem is still in front of us, "Xingcai" is too big, appetite is getting bigger and bigger, more importantly, the city forestry bureau personnel have come to Huang Kai-ning a few times, want to solve the problems brought by the python, Huang Kai-ning has also thought about waiting until the python.

Huang Kai-ning also thought, wait until the day they really can not afford it, will be "Xing Cai" released to nature, or sent to the zoo to live, but they really can not give up.

Later, "Xingcai" was sent to the local zoo, Huang Kai-ning worried that it is not good to return to natural life, so it was given to the zoo and visited from time to time.

People and animals are living in the same home, everything has a spirit, and animals also have love, Huang Kaining and "Xingcai", is the best example of people and nature in harmony.
