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.

General information!
Anacondas Scientific classification.
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Subphylum: Vertebrata
Class: Reptilia
Order: Squamata
Suborder: Serpentes
Family: Boidae
Subfamily: Boinae
Genus: Eunectes
Anacondas are the biggest as far as girth (largest being measured at 44 inches or 1,1176 m) is the Green Anaconda, on average anacondas are more then 20 ft (6.09 m) long with and average weight of 300+ pounds (136.08+ kg) many reaching lengths of 29ft ( 8.83 m) or more, with a weight of over 550 lbs ( 249.48 kg), in terms of length then and only then will the Reticulated Python exceed the anaconda,the longest python was measured at 33 ft ( 10.05 m) but even this python can't match the total mass of the anaconda.
Anacondas are members of the Boidae family of reptiles and spend most of their time in rivers and swamps of the Amazon Rainforest in South America which makes them excellent swimmers and are capable of holding their breath for around 15 minutes, female anacondas are generally 3 to 4 times larger then the males and bear their young live and are called "Neonates", the number of young varies, some have produced 100 babies, but the average is between 20 to 40 babies which are about 24 inches (0.6 m) long, they stay with the mother for about and hour then leave to be on their own. Diet consist of (depending on the size of the anaconda, the larger the snake the larger the prey) large/small rodents like capybaras, also pigs, caiman, jaguars, deer, dogs, birds even fish and is acquired by ambushing with a quick strike, 100 rear-facing sharp teethhold the prey while suffocating it with constriction, (the anaconda is so powerful it generally crushes it's prey) then swallowing it whole and by using it's muscles in a rhythmic fashion it works the food toward its digestive area, the digestion of the anaconda is very slow thereby allowing it to survive without food for well over a year.
Anacondas have around a 10 to 12 year year life span in the wild, in captivity some have reached 20 + years, the biggest threat to it is man and loss of their habitat.
Because ana means big and conda means snake in Indian language. That's why the Native Americans named it Anaconda which means bigsnake.
It was bought in 1881 by Marcus Daly from Michael Hickey. Hickey was a prospector and Union Civil War veteran, and named his claim the Anaconda Mine after reading Horace Greeley's Civil War account of how Ulysses S. Grant's forces had surrounded Robert E. Lee's forces "like an anaconda". Daly then developed the Anaconda Mine and the town of Anaconda was born.

Is lime good for keeping snakes away?
l think lime is good for keeping snakes away.i use it every summer about two or three times.it works for me and i have noticed that if i don't put it down within the first month of full heat i always see a snake somewhere near by.i use to use mothballs but the smell was killing me.with mothballs it was difficult to enjoy my yard during the summer.with lime all you have to do is sprinkle a thin line all the way around the outside perimeter of your house and yard and you can relax until the next time it rains really hard.but yes lime does work for me and being that i am extremely scared of snakes ,i would have searched for something else a long time ago!
no, they will just fight each other and if they mate the offspring will look weird like when a lion and tiger mate the offspring will be called liger.
No they cannot mate. No "weird offspring" are possible. By the way, there is no such thing as a "black snake." Do you mean a king snake, perhaps, or a black racer?
All animals have spines, except invertebrates. "Vertebrate" means "spine", and reptiles are a form of vertebrate, so they have a spine. Invertebrates have no spines, examples are jellyfish, bugs, worms, slugs, etc.
But yes, reptiles have spines.
