How do you know a female corn snake from a male?
The most reliable way of sexing a Corn Snake is by 'probing', a metal probe is inserted into the opening of the pouch behind the vent, in females the probe will extend the length of only 1 or 2 subcaudal scales, while in males it will extend 6-8. PLEASE NOTE: THIS PROCEDURE SHOULD ONLY BE CARRIED OUT BY SOMEONE QUALIFIED TO DO SO AND CAN SERIOUSLY HARM AND CAUSE GREAT PAIN TO YOUR SNAKE IF DONE INCORRECTLY!

What type of viper snake is the most venomous?
Actually, the most VENOMOUS snake is a sea snake. The Fierce Snake is the most deadliest, because it has a strong venom, and lives on land near humans.

Even if it DID bite someone, most times if you're wearing a wet suit sea snake's fangs are too short to pierce it.
The Top 10 Most Venomous Land Snakes all live downunder in Australia, and the Most Venomous Snake in the World is .... The Fierce Snake from Australia. To give you some idea of just how venomous it is, it is 50 times more potent than the Indian Cobra Snake.
They are a very fast snake and it venom will kill a small animal like a large rat or mice in seconds.
The potentcy of the venom is measured by a Scale which is called the LD50. LD stands for Lethal Dose, and the 50 represents, "to Kill 50% of the test subjects", in this case, they are mice.
So when all mice are given the full dose at once how much is required to Kill 50% of the Test Mice subjects.
So by using the LD50 Scale, The fierce Snake "aka" Inland Tiapan is the worlds most venomous.
The most amount of venom i have read is approx 100 to 120mg of pure venom. that's alot.
Don't be confused by the Term "The Most Dangerous", as they are 2 different traits. The most venomous is the most potent, but it is not the most dangerous. The most dangerous to Man, is probably the African "Black Mamba" very aggressive and fatal to man if bitten, without medical help very quickly, minutes in fact.

What is the largest snake found in US?
Probably the Burmese python - however, it's not a native species ! Wild-caught specimens are those that have been released by stupid owners who didn't know how big they were going to get ! (Though if they'd done their 'homework' before buying one - they would !) Instead of contacting animal rescue - they simply released them into the wild, and now they have a self-inflicted 'problem' - because these very large snakes are not only eating the local wildlife - but also domestic pets !
How do you snake a toilet in a mobile home?
When you snake a toilet, there will be marks. When you are done, you can scrub part of it away. Most of it will remain and will definitely fade over the next few weeks. They aren't permanant. Scratches in porcelain are permanant so when you snake the toilet, be careful not to scatch the sides as you push the snake in.
wha?You don't snake the toilet, you snake the outside line. wha?You don't snake the toilet itself, you snake the outside line (the tap in front of your house). Plungers are for toilets. answerUe a proper 3 ft toilet snake (closet auger) with a crank, making sure the rubber sleeve is down over the metal end and auger elbow is tucked into trap before rotating snake to protect visible toilet surface. Rotate snake vigorously, while pushing 3-4� and pulling 2-3� at a time, to attempt to move the snake forward without catching and twisting it. These snakes have a tendency to fold back on each other, and the head shows up in the bowl. If rotation is difficult, does the snake have a problem rotating when not in the toilet. It may need servicing or replacing. When the snake is fully extended and rotating easily, it is likely through the bowl and a few inches down the drain. At this point, yanking a pushing very rapidly about 4-6� will often dislodge obstacles in the trap. After doing this several times, a good hard yank pulling the snake right out can be helpful.Ans 5 - Usually it's much more effective to snake the main line (from immediately below the toilet if possible) Often in homes with unfinished basements or crawlspaces there is a 'cleanout' on the inner end of main drain line. Almost anything in a toilet (with the exception of solid objects like toothpaste tubes) can usually be blown out with a good plunger.

How do snake get their food in desert?
Millions upon millions of people around the world live in deserts and the vast majority (over 99%) live in cities and towns where food is readily available in stores and markets or restaurants. I live in the Chihuahuan Desert and have a Wal*Mart SuperCenter a half mile from my home where I can purchase nearly any food I desire. There are also a number of restaurants and fast food establishments within a short walking distance of my home. For those who live far from a town or city, many of them grow at least part of their own food and purchase other food items when they make an occasional trip into town to stock up on supplies.

How do you attract a lost pet snake out of hiding?
If the snake isn't coming out that likely means it is both full and comfortable. Start by dropping the temperature in the room it is in several degrees while simultaneously putting a warm spot out that will attract its attention. You can accomplish this by setting a lamp in the middle of the floor and turning it on. Try doing this at night and then sit quietly and wait to see if the snake comes out. It might take a few hours before it starts to move if it does at all.
Another method is to get a frozen rat/mouse, thaw it out and set it in the middle of the floor in a container of some sort. If the snake is in the room, even if it just ate there's a pretty good chance it will come out to investigate. Of course like the above method you need to be there to see it come out and catch it.
If you don't know for sure where it is, but only suspect you can try laying flour out along the edges of the wall. The theory is that the snake will crawl through it and confirm by way of its body impressions in the flour that it is in that room.
