Snakes

ALL reptiles shed their skins... including Copperheads.

An emerald tree boa is a stunning sight. There are two varieties, the Suriname and the Amazon. Both are yellow-green with white spots. The Emerald Tree boa does hibernate.

most snakes ant harmful but if u want to tell if a snake is harmful either look it up on line or if u catch the snake get a cup with saran wrap over it try to get the snake to bite it if it has fangs and u see poison dripping its harmful.

There are numerous species of Rattlesnakes and most of them are of the average size and weight. They are usually around 3 to 4 feet tall with some large adults growing to be above the 4 feet length. The Eastern Diamond back is the largest of the Rattlesnake species and is around 7 feet in average length and weight around 12 to 15 kilograms. All other Rattlesnake species are much smaller and lighter than the eastern diamondback.

The Eastern Diamondback NEVER averaged 7 ft., the average is more in the range of 3-4 ft. thae largest Diamondback ever authenicated was slightly over 8 ft.. Today a 6 ft. Diamondback is considered a very large snake. Of course due to the advances in captive care Diamondback have quite frequently gown to 7 ft.>

The copperhead is a very popular pet among Native Americans as it makes for a very good security system. It helps protect them from some not so friendly animals such as rats and other small rodents.

Yes, water moccasins have been found in several Indiana counties.

Well, seeing as snakes can't cook...it's safe to assume that yes, they eat raw eggs

Indigos are the largest native North American snake. They are very energetic and cannibalistic. They will not only eat rattlesnakes, but actually any other kind of snake. King snakes are much smaller and will be an easy meal when it presents itself.

well...it depends on what part of the country or world you are living in....if you are outside the united states, i have no idea. i assume yo are within the u.s. so most likely, the snake you are inquiring about is a type of rat snake. they actually vary somewhat in color, so without a pic, noone can be sure.

diamondback rattlesnakes also have diamonds on their back. they are usually a browner color but i can only assume anyone would recognize the rattles on any rattlesnake.

you may look up a pictorial directory for snakes in your area by preforming a search on Google or yahoo.

Snakes simply camouflage in grass when prey comes the snake bites it sucking it's blood but others are prey to other animals when the predator comes they fight and mostly the snake wins.

If you mean the rhyme to distinguish between a coral snake and a milk snake...

Red touches yellow - kill a fellow, red touches black - venom lack.

it is important to mention that this saying only works for telling those two species apart. it doesn't work when distinguishing between snakes outside of north America

It's rare to have a snake shed that quickly - unless it's under a year old. Most young snakes (up to 2 years old) will shed every 8-10 weeks, as they're growing fast. Adult snakes can go more than a year between shedding.

I have no idea no one else does either that is why you asked. WOW.

Black mambas are fast, nervous, lethally venomous, and when threatened, highly aggressive. They are Africa's longest venomous snake, reaching up to 14 feet (4.5 meters) in length, They are also among the fastest snakes in the world, slithering at speeds of up to 12.5 miles per hour (20 kilometers per hour).

it is a a tertiary consumer. it eats stuff but nothing eats it.

Snakes shed when they outgrow their skin. How frequently depends upon the age of the snake and how well it has been eating. Younger snakes, well fed, will shed more frequently than older snakes who do not grow as rapidly. The young snakes will shed several times in their first year of life while adults may shed only once or twice in a year.

Snakes can kill pigs but it is a bit more difficult as pigs have very tough hide and usually a thick layer of fat that helps prevent the injected venom from reaching the blood and organs. Pigs, especially feral pigs, frequently kill snakes, even venomous snakes.

A porcupine's entire body, with the exception of the belly and legs, is covered with sharp quills. The porcupine's quills, which are actually hardened, barbed hairs, are its primary source of protection. Porcupines cannot "throw" their quills as is popularly thought. They can, however, slap their quilled tail with lightning speed in the direction of an attacker. If a predator comes too close, it is likely to get a nose or mouth full of sharp quills that will work deeper and deeper into the flesh, causing a nasty infection and in extreme cases, possible death. A single porcupine may have upwards of 30,000 quills, more than 100 per square inch. Native Americans once used the quills as needles, and as ornaments on clothing. They were also used in the making of Native American warriors' breastplates. Porcupines are amazing climbers. They have been sighted over 60 feet up in the tops of trees, particularly cottonwoods, and these animals are extremely agile. Porcupines are herbivorous, feeding on bark and twigs, and prefer to eat softwoods, such as pine, elm and poplar. These rodents love salt and will seek it out. This craving leads them to eat such things as succulent plants, saddle leather, and the occasional shovel handle. In some areas, the porcupine's love for salt can get it into trouble. They will eat just about anything with a salty taste, including rose bushes, lily pads, garden produce and even car tires. Porcupines have been known to eat gardening equipment, wood siding on homes and yard furniture. Even when feeding only on trees, porcupines can cause problems. They can strip so much bark off the tree that it dies. There are some products that can discourage porcupines from literally eating you out of house and home. Most of these are liquid sprays that taste terrible to the porcupine. Another option for controlling problem porcupines is trapping and relocation. In northern climates, a natural predator of the porcupine, the fisher, is sometimes introduced into an area to control porcupine populations. Fishers are a type of weasel and are about the size of a large house cat. Other predators of the porcupine include the bobcat, and where found, the timber wolf, and wolverine. These animals are quick, and are able to flip the porcupine onto to its back in order to expose it's soft, unprotected belly. In Oklahoma, only the bobcat, and occasionally the coyote, are natural predators of the porcupine. Porcupines mate in the fall and give birth about 112 days later in the spring. They usually have only one offspring, called a porcupette, and twins are rare. The porcupine's quills are soft at birth and harden within their first hour of existence. They can eat solid food in about two weeks. Unlike their stoic parents, porcupettes are quite playful.

No. There is not a set tongue color for poisonousand harmless snakes. A garter snake has both red and black on its tongue

they eat frogs, tadpools, rabbits, mice, rats, birds, chickens, little girls named Emily

No. Rattlesnakes do not eat bugs or any other insects.

Rattlesnake are Carnivores. They consume Mice, Rats, Small Birds and other small rodents that inhabit the habitats they live in. They play an important ecological role by limiting the size of rodent populations in their ecosystems. Rattlesnakes lay motionless for their prey and kill it quickly with a venomous bite. Even if the prey is lucky enough to run off, it will die soon and the Rattlesnake will follow the scent and then swallow it. They are on top of their food chain, but they have some animals like the King Snake on top of it.

The timber rattlesnake and the eastern massasauga rattlesnake are both found in Wisconsin. Both snakes live in the southwestern part of the state.
