Why would paleontologists use drills?

Paleontologists would use drills if they knew that the dinosaur or prehistoric animal skeleton was a bit deeper than other skeletons. If there was a dinosaur skeleton that was only a maximum amount of 2 feet down, they might use their picks. But, if its around 5 feet down, they may use drills. If its even deeper, they might even use a smal bit of dynamite!


What do pet scarlet snakes eat?

Being a pet you most likely have a Scarlet Kingsnake, in the wild they start off eating lizards and frogs, progress to rodents and eggs, and when large enough other snakes. They are immune to the venoms of snakes natrually found where they are. Primarily Timber Rattlers and Coral Snakes, the coloration of the Scarlet King is similar to that of venomous Coral snakes only lacking the yellow. In captivity, the snake can be maintained on mice and if he/she grows large enough rats. Keep in mind that King's and Milk's including your Scarlet lack the spear-head (Larger jaw and head) shape of most snakes and as a result even when dislocated for feeding the would have trouble consuming prey that a corn the same size could do with ease. If the prey is too large and the snake manages to get it down the result then is regurgitation. If this happens wait 5-7 days minimum before feeding again to allow the snake's stomach to replenish stomach acids or it'll happen again. King's are almost never troubled feeders so I reccommend feeding frozen-thawed (f/t) food because frozen thawed rodents are lab maintained providing a higher level of nutrition, ordering in bulk and storing is easier and less costly then tending live rodents, being frozen the rodents are free of parasites, and last but not least they cannot harm your snake. A live rodent has very sharp teeth and a will to live, these can spell disaster for your snake. Never feed the snake in its habitat, local pet stores usually sell some type of small plastic tote that makes a perfect feeding tank when lined with a paper towel. Feeding in the habitat will cause the snake to associate the top opening with a food causing striking due to mistaken identity. Injested bedding may cause blockage and if your snake swallows enough can be fatal, present f/t prey with feeding tongs (never associate your hand, sight or smell, with food) in a separate container using paper towel as bedding. Wait a couple minutes after the snake has swallowed the item before returning her to her habitat, King's have hearty appetites and can devour an entire nest of rodents in one sitting in the wild and even when full they readily accept more food so waiting for the feeding response to shut off reduces chances of biting drastically. Wait 24-48 hours after feeding to handle to prevent regurgitation.
