咸味，性平，有小毒。其毒性主要在眼部，需用酒清洗，去除头部、足部、鳞片和爪子，用酥油炙烤后研磨使用。只有那些能奔走百步后出现喘息情况的，才是真品。
郭佩兰说：蛤蚧生于广南的水中，夜间栖息在榕树上，形状像守宫（壁虎），尾巴与身体等长，雌雄相随，药效主要在尾部，且此物为雄性。雄性称为“蛤”，皮肤粗糙，口大。
咸味、甘味，性平，有毒。颜色白如银的为好，青黄色或苍色的不要用，用皂角水洗净晒干，或用酒、醋、蜜浸泡后炙烤至黄色使用，或者用盐泥封存以保留药性使用。畏磁石和酒，孕妇忌服。

郭佩兰说：虽然各地都有，但只取蕲州的，其蛇龙头虎口，黑底白花，胁下有二十四方胜纹。腹上有念珠状纹路，头尾可去一尺，取其净肉不过四两。头尾各去三寸，取其中段。所有蛇死后眼睛闭合，唯独此蛇眼不陷。去头尾各三寸，取其中段，净肉不过四两。头尾可去一尺，酒浸一二晚，火炙去尽皮骨，盛于砂瓶中。骨骼须远弃，伤人毒性与活体相同。
甘味，性平，有小毒。功效同白花蛇，但性善而不咬人，色黑如漆，背有三棱如剑脊，眼枯死不陷，尾细入药最妙，此蛇弥减也，市中用他蛇熏黑乱充。

Guo Peilan stated: It is born in the waters of Guangnan, dwelling on banyan trees at night. Its shape resembles a gecko (Shou Gong), with a tail equal in length to its body. Males and females follow each other; the medicinal efficacy resides in the tail, and this specimen is male. The male is called "Ge," with rough skin and a large mouth.
Salty and sweet, neutral, toxic. Those white as silver are superior; avoid those that are greenish-yellow or grayish. Wash clean with soap pod water and dry, or soak in wine, vinegar, or honey, then roast until yellow for use. Alternatively, preserve with salt mud to retain its nature. It fears magnetite and wine; pregnant women should avoid it.
Salty and sweet, warm, toxic. When using the flower snake, soak it in changed wine for three nights in spring and autumn, one night in summer, and five nights in winter. Remove and roast over charcoal fire three times. Place in a clay jar, bury in the ground overnight to eliminate fire qi, remove skin and bones, and use the meat.
Guo Peilan stated: Although found everywhere, only those from Qizhou are taken. The snake has a dragon-like head and tiger-like mouth, black background with white flowers, and twenty-four square patterns on its flanks. The abdomen has bead-like markings. The head and tail can be removed up to one chi, leaving no more than four liang of pure meat. Remove three cun from both head and tail, taking only the middle section. While most snakes close their eyes upon death, this snake's eyes do not sink. Remove three cun from the head and tail, take the middle section, yielding no more than four liang of pure meat. Soak in wine for one to two nights, roast over fire to remove all skin and bones, and store in a clay jar. The bones must be discarded far away; their toxicity causing injury is the same as that of the living snake.
Sweet, neutral, slightly toxic. Its efficacy is similar to that of Baihua She, but its nature is gentle and it does not bite. It is black as lacquer, has three ridges on its back like a sword spine, its eyes are withered and do not sink, and its thin tail is best for medicinal use. This snake is becoming rare; market specimens often use other snakes smoked black to deceive.
