En mystisk parasit fra Asien truer Floridas slanger! Vågne op til slanger, der stadig er i dvale, kan føre til overraskelser, især når det kommer til børns sikkerhed. Læs videre for at lære mere! 🐍

En mystisk parasit fra Asien truer Floridas oprindelige slanger, hvilket sandsynligvis er kommet hertil via burmesiske pytonslanger og suger blod fra slangernes lunger. Parasitten spreder sig over det meste af Florida. Samtidig med sommerens komme vågner slangerne op fra deres vinterdvaletid, hvilket har resulteret i, at allerede to børn fra nord er blevet hasteindlagt på hospitalet efter mødet med en huggorm. Det er vigtigt at udvise forsigtighed, da disse farlige krybdyr begynder at være mere aktive.

Men vidste du, at slanges vinterdvaletid kan variere afhængigt af arten og klimaet? Nogle slanger kan forblive i dvale i månedsvis, mens andre kun sover i korte perioder. Disse fascinerende dyr har en unik måde at tilpasse sig deres miljø på. Lad os beskytte dem og os selv ved at forstå deres adfærd og behov.
