Snakes

Some rattlesnake species hibernate during the cold winter months. They often gather together for hibernation in large numbers (even more than 1000 snakes) and huddle together in underground dens. Rattlesnakes usually return to the same den year after year, sometimes travelling several miles to get there. They share their winter burrows with other species that may hibernate during the same time period.

No, the true adder is a European venomous snake but the term is sometimes used very loosely to describe almost any snake, especially venomous snakes. Adders are vipers, rattlesnakes are vipers but rattlesnakes are not adders.

Snakes are common in all temperate, subtropical, and tropical habitats around the world, excluding those which isolated by large expanses of water (such as most islands). However, I believe they are most common in warm places with an abundance of small mammals (their primary food), and numerous hiding places (such as reeds or rock crevices).

It depends how severe the bite wound is. Since non venomous species usually only have small teeth, any bleeding should be minimal. Wipe the bite area with antiseptic, and cover with a clean dressing to keep out germs. If the bleeding doesn't stop within an hour - see a doctor.
Wash your hands and the bite, rinse the snake body in cold water (this usually helps the snake to let go) and take allergy pills. Apart from that treat it like a normal animal bite.
you should still go to the hospital just to be sure, venomous or not they carry alot of bacteria in their mouths

Grasshoppers or a bug like it can live without a head for about a week.

Some do - some don't. Species such as the pythons and boas need to actively hunt for their food. However - species such as the rattlesnake, simply locate themselves by a trail used by rodents and 'ambush' a rat when it walks past.

Almost any, non-harmful plant would do. fake fern would be good for it. Or a luittle bundle thing of vines and leaves. Aslong as your snke is happy anf=d nonharmed with it.

Snakes are different from fish because they are reptiles, they have lungs instead of gills and generally live on land.

Fish need to live in water, generally have fins, and breathe through gills.

Voldemorts snake is a girl actually. By the sound of the snakes name, Nagini, which sounds kinda girly most people thinks its a girl. Plus the fact that Voldemort's "proto-body", the body he has during most of book 4 was from Nagini. Thats because it was hathed from a snakes egg, which is also why he looks so much like a snake.

But J.K. Rowling did say that the snake in the first movie that Harry set free was actually Nagini! BUT the snake kinda sounds like a boy :/

I'm still going to say the Voldemorts snake is a girl tho!

Hope I Helped!! :D

The Black Mamba is the longest Venomous Snake in Africa. It averages around 2.5 to 3.2 meters (8 to 10 feet) in length. Large Mamba's can grow upto 4.4 meters (14.6 feet) in length. It is called the Black Mamba because of the black color of its mouth. It is also the fastest snake in the world reaching speeds of around 16 to 20 kmph.

It depends where you are. You can't buy one in the UK - as The European Grass Snake (Natrix natrix) is protected under UK conservation laws. It's illegal to take them from the wild - and there are unlikely to be any for sale in UK pet shops.

Ok I will assume that you have the snake skinned and ready to tan.

Start by tacking the shinm out on a board. Streatch it taught but not so tight that the pins begin to tear the skin.

Salt the skin completely and let it sit foir about 15 to 20 minuets. This will dessicate the skin and cause the grissle to contract, pulling away from the skin.

Rinse the skin with water and rub off the remaining grissel and meat if any. Place it in a jar of milk. Yes folks. I said milk. The lactic acid in the milk will break down the skins cells and allow it to become pliable.

Actually you can use any type of acid. Tannic acid is what they use foor tannuing cow hides. This is what gives the leather the tan look. It is also where the word tanning is derived. Tannic acid can be found in oak trees, acorns (favorite source of many Indian tribes), sumac (not poisen sumac), and many other trees. Some tanners even use car battery acid, but I don't recommend this for a rooky tanner.

Once it has set in the milk for about 24 hours remove it and rinse it with a mixture of 1/4 cuo vinagar and 1 gallon of water. This will neutrilise any acid that remains. Rinse well with water and let it dry.

You should now have a nice skin ready for oiling and the final stage of the tanning process. Useing glycerin rub it into the skin well. Roll, kneed, and rub some more until the skin is well softened. The more you rub it the softer it will become.

Many Indian tribe females would actually chew the leather that they used for the more delicate places of the body that needed to be clothed. One tribe in particular (sorry I don't recall the name) the potential wife of a brave would make a pair of moccosins in this manner to give to the young warrior during the courting process. This was the equivalent of an engagement ring.

Hope this helps. Your comments are always welcome.

Best, THS

There are several types of snakes on Cyprus, most being harmless to humans, such as the Whip snake, Cyprus Whip snake, Grass snake & Coin snake. The one really dangerous & highly poisonous snake is the BLUNT NOSED VIPER & a bite needs treatment at a hospital very quickly. All hospitals carry antidotes. Another poisonous snake is the Montpellier - not as venomous as the Viper, but its bite must again be treated by a doctor, or preferably, at a hospital. A third venomous snake is the Cat snake, small and usually not dangerous to humans. It still should be avoided as it has venom. Snakes of Cyprus only strike in defence or for food. They do not look to attack humans and will avoid contact unless surprised or disturbed. There is an expert on snakes in the Paphos area of Cyprus, Hans-Jorg Wiedl, known by local folk as 'Snake George.' Unfortunately he has lost his premises near Agios Georgios but hopes to find a new site. Details can be found on the Net, under "Snake George' & he has published an authoritive book on the snakes of Cyprus.

yes it can because the pig is a mammal

No. As pets, yes, but not in nature. King snakes are from the southwestern united states and northwestern Mexico.

The melanistic (black) form of the Eastern garter snake has white under its chin and throat. King snakes do as well. Most snakes are darker on top, lighter underneath. Also black rat snakes do as well.

There are other non-poisonous snakes that are similar to the coral snake but different patterns of color. Only the coral snake has bands of red and yellow that touch. Red on yellow, kill a fellow.

Patience and perseverance. Most reptiles, though never actually becoming 'tame', will get used to being handled. If you're bothered about being bitten - wear thick gloves during the early stages of handling. Once you're confident the snake has accepted you're not going to hurt it - you can discard the gloves. A corn snakes bite is harmless (although painful) and can be treated with antiseptic.

The Gaboon Viper is deadly, because of its hematoxins in its venom. As a venomous snake it kills and captures its prey with its venom. The Gaboon Vipers hematoxins make tons of blood clots making the preys blood to congeal. Also the Gaboon Viper has one of the most painful bites out of all the snakes. This snake is not skinny and is very strong with the longest fangs in the world with two and a half inches long. It lives it Africa, so be careful!

All snakes drink by dipping the lower jaw into the water source, and use their jaw to scoop. The internal folds of the snake's mouth allow it to drink more.
