Snakes
Part of the reptile family there are about 2,400 species of snakes in the world. Snakes live almost everywhere, in deserts, forests, oceans, streams, and lakes. Some species are ground dwellers, others live in trees, and other snakes spend most of their lives in water. This is the place to ask your questions about these cold blooded reptiles.

What are the types of rattlesnakes in Colorado?
As far as I know, there are two types of rattlesnakes in Colorado on the front range: the western diamondback and the western or prairie rattler. Neither are particularly aggressive (I've stepped on a western diamondback and not been bit) but both are dangerous and should be avoided. I'm not sure what kinds there are in the high country or the western slope. I'm assuming the western diamondback and maybe the timber rattler.
The above answer is actually incorrect for the most part. There are no Western Diamondbacks in Colorado and Westerns are one of the most aggressive of the Croatalus. The species in Colorado are the prairie rattlesnake (croatalus veridis veridis), and the faded midget rattlesnake (croatalus concolor). The prairie rattlesnake can be found to elevations above 9000' and pocesses a myotoxic venom with a LD50 (leathal dose 50) value of around 1100 micrograms per kilogram body weight. The LD value is a measure of toxicity where if you lined up 10 mice of the same body mass and injected them with equal vollumes of venom, 50% would die. The faded midget has a highly neurotoxic venom of, if I recall correctly, is around 50 to 100 micrograms per kilogram body weight and is found in the Dinosaur National Park area. A cousin of the rattlesnake is also found in south eastern Colorado, the western massasagua (Sistrusus catanatus edwardsii). I do not recall the LD50 value of it's venom.
I'm not questioning either answer above, as I'm not an expert (nor do I really know anything!) however I'm providing a link to the Colorado State University site that says that there are Western Diamondbacks throughout Colorado and the Massasagua in the SE. Again, I don't know, just providing an additional data source from some folks that are indeed experts. Finally, I almost stepped on a rattler today while on a run just outside of Boulder Colorado (Superior). It looked like a Western Diamondback to me.
How long is the snake gestation period?
The gestation period for an African rock python ranges from 65 days to 80 days. Clutches usually average between 20 and 50 eggs, though some of the larger females have been known to lay as many as 100.
How many snakes did Medusa have on her head?
It is impossible to say. It was never recorded, and every portrayal in artwork differs.
Yes. There are four species of snake in Malta. Only one species is poisonous however, the cat snake(Telescopus fallax fallax). It has 2 small fangs located in the back of the mouth and its poison is only toxic to very small animals and is of no danger to humans.

No, anacondas are not mammals: they're reptiles. All snakes are reptiles.
The word "reptile" means an animal that belongs to the taxonomic class Reptilia; "mammals" belong to the taxonomic class Mammalia.
One big difference between reptiles and mammals is that mammals have mammary glands (and breasts, and the ability to produce milk), and they give birth to live animals, while reptiles lay eggs instead and produce no milk (although reptile venom is sometimes called "milk," it isn't truly milk).
Something mammals and reptiles have in common is that they're both vertebrates, which means they belong to the taxonomic subphylum Vertebrata -- this means they both have backbones and spinal columns (unlike, for example, insects).
Yes, the Gabon Viper. http://nationalzoo.si.edu/ConservationAndScience/MAB/conservation/centralafrica/gabon/MABinGabon/gallery/default.cfm
Yes, an anaconda can swim.That's how they hunt!
General information!
The question what is the biggest snake can be confusing, 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 long many reaching lengths of 29ft or more, with a weight of over 550 lbs, in terms of length then and only then will the Reticulated Python exceed the anaconda, the longest python was measured at 33ft 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 in South America which makes them excellent swimmers and are capable of holding their breath for around 15 minutes, female anacondas are generally 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. 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 and constricting it's prey (the anaconda is so powerful it generally crushes it's prey) then swallowing it whole, the digestion of the anaconda is very slow thereby allowing it to survive without food for well over a year.
Anacondas have around a 30 year life span and the biggest threat to it is man and loss of their habitat.

Genus: Eunectes
The question what is the biggest snake can be confusing, 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.
