Thanks for the suggestion review! The tropical snail is an ideal pet for the introverted keeper. Its behavioral manifestations are so diverse that you can enjoy this spectacle every evening or early in the morning, or even at night, depending on your schedule, as if you were sitting in a theater or a circus. They never repeat themselves, they love to surprise. Creating a suitable environment for them is a special quest, where you can show all your creative potential, but you don’t have to bother: a shovel of earth, a couple of old stale branches, leaf litter - and the pets rejoice. They easily mistake our house for the tropics, as did the indoor plants that were once brought to us by travelers from distant warm countries. - - - - - I remember that our public used to have a practice of subscribers reviewing their pets. You can resume it! Send reviews of your pets in the proposal, we will publish if the post is neat and without errors.

he same time, the snakes themselves are in no hurry to become someone’s prey. If a predator dares to make a dinner out of a snake, a professional performance awaits him. First, the reptile will show death convulsions, turn over with its belly up and even stick out its tongue for plausibility (photo 5). If this doesn't work, a foul-smelling liquid from you-know-where will be used. The slurry stinks of garlic and is very difficult to wash off. Reptiles also know how to adapt in matters of reproduction. Mating is simple for them, but egg laying can be problematic: finding a suitable pile of rotting leaves is not so easy. Therefore, mother snakes cooperate and produce offspring together. They say they once found a clutch containing a thousand eggs! Considering that one snake can lay a maximum of 16-20 eggs, this amount is very impressive! After 8 weeks, around the beginning of autumn, an equally large pile of snakes will emerge from the pile of eggs. They don’t make any noise—the little thing tries to eat as much as possible and quickly find a place to hibernate. Winter is coming, so the sooner they do this, the better their chances of survival. They will reach maturity by the age of three, but only a few will survive to this age. Let's hope that after this article the snakes' chances of survival will increase - because now you know that they are our faithful helpers! - - - - - We have a huge group, which is 11 years old and there are many zoologists who write tons of text every day from the field in which they are specialists.

Common snake: The most adequate snake that you shouldn’t be afraid of at all and here’s why Ordinary, like the eldest child in the family. Because the little ones are constantly making mistakes, and he gets it for them! People often mistake snakes of non-standard colors for vipers and some other terribly poisonous snakes. They are trying to quickly deal with the defenseless reptile. Don't do that! Snakes are useful without exception, and even more so - they are our faithful helpers and protectors. The common snake is the most typical, widespread and at the same time safe representative of the reptilian fauna not only in Russia, but also in almost all of Europe, East and Central Asia. It is quite easy to distinguish it from all other scaly animals: bright orange spots on the cheeks, black coloring of the carcass - we have known all these signs since childhood. However, completely black melanistic snakes (photo 2), very light albino snakes, and even gray-spotted individuals with no identifying spots at all (photo 1) are often found. They are mistaken for poisonous reptiles! Such an unusual snake can be distinguished by two criteria: the shape of the head and the eye (photo 4). Unlike dangerous vipers and conditionally dangerous vipers, the shape of the supper's head is oval, not triangular. The eyes are kind and calm. And their pupils are round, and not vertical, like in cats. The snakes themselves are loyal to the human neighborhood, which people have taken advantage of for many years. And now they are using it, it’s just ungrateful. Previously, in some cultures snakes were considered almost a sacred animal. They were specially placed in houses and given their own corner - like cats or dogs. The root cause of such care is simple: reptiles cope well with all pests and require a minimum of care in return. Today, such pets live only in a specially equipped terrarium, and even then, only a few understand all the benefits of snakes in the wild. In fact, without these scaly superheroes, all the ecosystems of small ponds and rivers will immediately collapse, and you will be attacked by hordes of mice and toads. Snakes are like the golden mean of the food chain: they eat everything that is smaller and more agile, but they themselves become prey for large birds of prey and some animals. And note: reptiles were able to occupy such an important niche without poison and without any knockout power techniques or superpowers! But what then? It's simple, snakes are very hardy opportunists. It’s not for nothing that almost half of all snakes known to science belong to the colubrid family! These reptiles can endure poor environmental conditions for quite a long time, eat whatever they can and remain quite alert. For example, in one not-so-humane experiment, a snake was not fed anything at all for almost a whole year. So what do you think? After completing the experiments, the snake ate perfectly and calmly digested everything it had eaten! At t

pure musk per day into your mucous membranes. And this is simply an incredible waste of money! And with all this, the effect will completely disappear if you splurge on medications and stop taking it for at least a week. It actually sounds like it's some kind of drug for the rich. But it is precisely these amounts of money that motivate people throughout Asia to try to domesticate musk deer over and over again. Well, or they throw them on the other side of the law, turning people into smugglers and poachers.

Musk deer: What is this magical musk, because of which bad people harass the animal? The musk deer looks like a cute little vampire deer, but it won't suck your blood. Instead, the musk deer will take all your money and give in return only a faint, gradually evaporating pleasant aroma. There is some absolutely unhealthy excitement around the small, only 10-17 kilogram in weight, wild ungulate. In all countries where musk deer live, strict penalties have been introduced for its shooting and smuggling, and states are desperately learning to breed animals in captivity, investing some crazy money in it. In the Russian Federation alone, more than 2 billion rubles have already been invested in the idea of ​​​​breeding musk deer and will continue to be invested at least until 2029. And all this in order to produce... what? Even an adult large musk deer is only a couple of kilos of meat, some thin bones and low-quality skin - warm, waterproof, but thin and rough to the touch. The fangs are also no good, because they are ordinary teeth, albeit very large ones. Males need them to attract females and fight with each other, but do not have any unique properties. The only thing valuable about musk deer is its musk. But its price can beat all costs. Just 1 gram of this dark, pungent-smelling liquid costs up to 4,500 rubles, which is more expensive than any other animal product in principle. And since the microdeer themselves use it to mark the boundaries of their territory during the mating season, up to 30 grams of musk can be squeezed out of the musk glands of one male. And this is already a whole small fortune. One of the reasons for the exorbitant price of musk deer musk is that it is an almost perfect odor fixative. When added to perfume, it turns typical eau de toilette into luxury perfume, the smell of which may not fade for up to 20 hours. In addition, it gives perfume a sharp and strong smell that cannot be reproduced in the laboratory from synthetic substances. And this is worth a lot. However, the above is a drop in the ocean of musk consumption; people simply eat most of it. The Chinese and Indians are confident that musk-based medicines strengthen the immune system, increase physical endurance and, of course, restore lost libido. That is why in these countries up to 50 kilograms of musk are produced every year, which is packaged in tablets and drops. But is there any real benefit from this? A very, very controversial issue. There are few studies on this topic, but according to them, the physical endurance of rats under the drugs actually increases by 10-20% without obvious side effects. However, these numbers hide very big pitfalls. First of all, it is worth noting the fact that rats are not people. More than once or twice it turned out that drugs that work great on rodents turned out to be completely useless or even dangerous for people. But even if musk really works, to get the effect you will have to rub 3 to 30 grams of

nts. Over time, they begin to unmistakably indicate the “wrong” smell, the same one that arises due to altered metabolism in tumors. Helper dogs work in the same way for people with epilepsy or diabetes: they detect subtle changes in the body’s chemistry even before an attack or a sharp drop in sugar and begin to behave in a special way - pushing, alarming, attracting attention. Essentially, we have simply taken their natural ability to sense the slightest signals from the body and turned it into a very reliable tool that sometimes works faster and more accurately than any devices.

ments. Yes, this also applies to reading facial expressions, but this is a completely different league. Scientists confirm that dogs play both ways - they read the direction of a person’s gaze and initiate eye-to-eye contact themselves. In some experiments, the dog had to find a treat. Moreover, some subjects had a person next to them in the room who knew where the food was and looked straight there. And, of course, the dogs and the person coped with the task many times faster, because they simply followed his gaze. In other experiments, a puzzle with a treat was prepared for dogs, but specifically so that they could not get it. The woolly ones, unable to get the treat, turned to the experimenters - they looked into their eyes and seemed to ask them to help them. Why not manipulate puppy dog ​​eyes? The fourth weapon is perfect hearing. Not musically, but emotionally: animals perfectly understand the intonations of people. When a person is happy or nervous, the timbre of his voice changes accordingly, and animals pick up on this immediately. Actually, it’s not so important to them WHAT we say, what’s more important is HOW. Try an experiment: right now, gather your thoughts and start very cheerfully and excitedly telling your dog about the global crisis and high utility bills. With a 99% probability, he will immediately pick up this joyful wave. And then, on the contrary, in a serious and tough voice, start grabbing the watchdog and offering him treats. Will it fit? I highly doubt it! But the experiment will only work if you really get used to the role, because in addition to the timbre of the voice, animals hear our breathing and draw their own conclusions. The manipulation here is very simple - is the owner happily talking to someone? This means that he is in a good mood, which means that if you put your paws on your knees and look pitifully, you might end up with unscheduled scratches. And the fifth, subtlest and one of the most accurate ways to manipulate is body chemistry. This is generally a separate language that we speak without even knowing it. Any emotion is instantly reflected not only in behavior, facial expressions, voice, but also in smell. Stress triggers the release of cortisol, fear – adrenaline, joy – dopamine, love – cortisol. Due to the release of hormones, the composition of sweat and skin secretions is mgetting married. For us this is completely imperceptible, but for animals a sharply changed aroma is a bright signal. There are experiments where dogs were given samples of sweat from people under stress and when they were calm. Because of the first samples, they began to behave more anxiously, although the person himself was not nearby. From the second, calm samples, the behavior practically did not change at all. Yes, animals have learned to manipulate us very well. But we are not lagging behind! Today, dogs are specifically trained to detect cancer by using breath and/or sweat samples from healthy people and patie

How does a pet quietly train its owner? 5 methods for managing a person Do you think you are the one training your pet? What if I told you that he actually trains you too and manipulates you as he wants! Moreover, the animals do this so subtly that the owner sometimes doesn’t even realize it. To do this, the watchdogs and murziks have as many as five types of weapons, which we will now talk about. So, the first weapon of furry manipulators is reading posture, movements and muscle tension. For animals, this is generally the basic basis, because they use body language to communicate with each other. Therefore, when interacting with a person, they first of all read our behavior, and secondly they look at how to use it for their own selfish or not so selfish purposes. If you are tense, it means you are ready for conflict. He retreated and gave in. Relaxed - safe. And then a simple but very effective mechanism comes into play: they begin to check what works for which person. The dog persistently stares or pokes its nose - you share your piece - in its system of understanding the world this looks like a victory. This means that you can manipulate further and get food. The cat begins to meow louder in the morning - the owner gets up and feeds it. This means that increasing the pressure, kicking harder and screaming even louder is beneficial. They do not make cunning plans, but quickly memorize the “action-reaction” connection and then begin to use it again and again. Therefore, at some point it seems that you are the owner and are engaged in education, but in reality it is the woolly one who trains you. The second and more subtle tool of manipulators is the perfect reading of human facial expressions. From early childhood, kittens and puppies learn to distinguish human emotions by a kind smile or frowning eyebrows. This is a basic skill, and so cool that animals can even identify emotions from photographs! In a series of experiments, dogs were shown different faces that were completely unfamiliar to them and saw who they would choose. And animals always gave preference to calm and kind people in the photographs, and tried to avoid evil ones. With age and experience, pets reach perfection and begin to distinguish even the smallest and fastest, literally in a split second, movements of the facial muscles. People wouldn't even pay attention to it! But for animals, any “poker face” of the owner is like an open book. This is how they manipulate us: imagine, a kitten overturned a flower pot. You seem to be angry, but look how funny he plays and tries to pretend that the flower itself attacked... And the kitten immediately saw that the corners of the owner’s lips twitched slightly upward in a smile, and the expression of the eyes softened. That's all! Then you can swear as much as you want, the animal has already understood that you need to make its face as cute as possible, and you will forgive it for any prank. The third weapon is eye move
