No, it is a myth that baby snakes can't control their venom. All reptiles are born from day 1 with instincts. But usually, the adult is more dangerous than the baby because the adult has a larger venom gland & can inject more venom.
There is a species of snake called a garter snake
Yes. The venom of venomous snakes is often lethal to that of other. The exception is that many snakes are resistant to their own species' venom. Snakes that are adapted to eating other snakes may also have some venom resistance.
Baby garter snakes fend for themselves from the moment they are born.
They have venom and not poison. There are no "poisonous" snakes but there are venomous snakes. A poison must be eaten to do damage while a venom must be injected. The venom is stored in sacs behind the eyes on either side of the head. They are connected by ducts to the fangs at the front of the mouth in the upper jaw.
No, venomous snakes do not track their prey by smelling the venom they inject. Snakes use their sense of smell to locate prey, and once they bite and inject venom, the venom works to immobilize or kill the prey. Venom can also aid in digestion once the prey is consumed.
Baby snakes are born with venom glands already developed, so they have venom from birth. The potency of the venom may increase as they grow and mature, but they can inject venom right from the start.
All baby venomous snakes are born with fangs and venom. Baby venomous snakes are more venomous than adult venomous snakes.
No because some snakes are not poisnous at all
My understanding is that baby brown snakes ( in Australia) are born with enough venom to kill a man, the question is if the fangs can penetrate the skin. I would leave them well enough alone.
Yes they are - AND it's just as potent in the baby snakes as it is in the adults ! Snake venom is modified saliva - and is usually stored in 'sacs' located in the upper jaw. Once the venom has been delivered in a bite, it is quickly replenished.
Venemous snakes are born with venom, and if you are bitten by one, even if it has just hatched, can be deadly depending on the species. Non-venemous snakes have no venom, and therefore are relatively harmless.
Any venomous animal comes equipped with venom when born - snakes, scorpions, spiders, centipedes, etc.
Venomous snakes do not give out a poison, they inject a venom by biting. Venom kills by being injected, a poison by being eaten. Snakes are not poisonous.
it is venomous
No. Venomous snakes can control when they release venom.
