Snakes

Most snakes will become sexually mature between 18 and 24 months. This varies slightly with the snake species being studied.

they eat earthworms... they also eat frogs and very small lizards depending on their size
Ring-neck snakes eat smaller salamanders, worms and slugs, occasionally they'll sometimes eat lizards, frogs, and some juvenile snakes of other species.
Ring-neck snakes like earthworms and salamanders. They may eat frogs, small lizards or even smaller snakes.

Snake venom can be used for medical purposes, such as producing antivenom to treat snakebites. Some components of snake venom have also shown potential in drug development, such as using peptides in research for treatments for conditions like heart disease and autoimmune disorders. Additionally, certain enzymes in snake venom have been utilized in certain diagnostic tests and research studies.

Snakes are vertebrates and thus have an endoskeleton.

Baby snakes are born with venom glands already developed, so they have venom from birth. The potency of the venom may increase as they grow and mature, but they can inject venom right from the start.

Most sea snakes can grow quite large, and generally their average size is between 1.2 and 1.4 meters long. However, in some cases they can grow to be 2 meters or more. One species, known as the Hydrophis Cyanocinctus can grow to over 2.5 meters long.

There are no poisonous snakes, they are venomous. Venomous snakes have fangs. Some easy ways to tell native North American venomous snakes from native North American non-venomous snakes are they have cat-like pupils, triangular heads and the caudal scales are crossed rather than straight across. Not all venomous species are consistent with these signs, though. And some non-venomous snakes share their anatomical, behavioral, and color traits.

I would suggest luring it out of the hole using live prey. The small rodent should be in a closed area where it can't get out but the snake can get in. Like a crab trap. Another way is by force. I strongly recommend against it. ( I have a big portion of my heart for animals. ) Use a tool and try to loop it around the neck. However if it is an emergency call an expert on reptiles, poison control or the ASPCA. Hope it helps =)!!!

Pretty much for the same reasons as us - it's simply nature.

Dinosaurs also had a four-chambered heart.

Unlike mammals, crocodile's right ventricle pumps blood throughout the body.

Such a heart perfectly separates blood going to the lungs from that going to the body, which is a requirement for the high blood flow rates and high metabolic rates characteristic of warm-bloodedness. However, living crocodiles are cold-blooded, so it didn't make sense for them to have a warmblooded heart - a mystery!

Yep and they can cause death in humans. They say that a copperhead bite will normally not kill a healthy human being but it can cause death if the amount injected is lethal. At any rate it is a very painful bite.

Yes, there are 4 different species.

1: Western Cottonmouth

2: Northern Copperhead

3: Timber Rattlesnake

4: Eastern Massasauga

The Eastern Massasauga is like a rattle snake. All of these snakes are venomous.

Yes, but it is a freak anomaly like say, Siamese Twins or a Girl with three breasts.

To find food, the snake has to find it. They use their Jacobson's organ(an internal organ that allows snakes to locate their food by "smelling" it) or their "belly" scales to pinpoint their meal using the prey's vibrations(movements). Once the prey is found, the snake forms a "S" and strikes its meal and injects venom; this making the small animal more managable for the snake.

That depends upon the species of snake. Some of the smaller species produce babies that are only a few inches long while some of the larger species, such as pythons, may produce babies approaching 20 inches in length.

No. There are no snakes in Hawaii. Authorities there have teams at airports and shipping ports to prevent snakes from being accidentally introduced.

The most venomous snake on earth is the Belcher's Sea Snake (Hydrophis Belcheri) or the Faint Banded Sea Snake, some consider the Inland Taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus) an/or the Beaked Sea Snake (Enhydrina schistosa) to be the most toxic, however, with recent and more accurate studies prove the Belcheri has a 100 times more toxic venom then the two above or any other snake on earth.

It has a paddle-like tail, breathes air and can hold it's breath up to 8 hours, a few milligrams of venom can kill over a thousand people.

It's habitat is a wide range in the South Pacific.

Excluding the Belcher's Sea Snake the next most venomous snakes on earth according to their venom rating are:

2- Inland Tiapan (Oxyuranus Microlepidotus).

3- Common Indian Krait (Bungarus Caeruleus).

4- Philippine Cobra (Naja Philippinensis).

5- King Cobra (Ophiophagus Hanna).

6- Russell's Viper (Vipera Russellii).

7- Black Mamba (Dendroaspis Polylepis).

8- Yellow Jawed Tommygoff (Bothrops Asper).

9- Multibanded krait (Bungarus Multicinctus).

10- Tigar Snake (Notechis Scutatus).

11- Jararacussu (Bothrops Jararacussu).

Yes, they are extremely venomous. More venomous than its cousin, the copperhead.

Snakes caused the extinction of most of the native forest vertebrate species; thousands of power outages affecting private, commercial, and military activities; widespread loss of domestic birds and pets; and considerable emotional trauma to residents and visitors alike when snakes invaded human habitats with the potential for envenomation of small children.

to reproduce and strengthen in a process called keratinzation

a green bush vier can grow to about 2ft some times a little more .

No. Snakes are not mammals, but reptiles. Mammals are warm-blooded, nurture their young on mothers' milk and, with the exception of monotremes, give live birth. They also have skin, hair or fur.

A snake has scaly skin, is cold-blooded, and usually lays eggs, although many species are live-bearers.

Oregon and Montana.

The red-bellied black snake is native to eastern Australia. It is not found in the US.

Cottonmouth (white mouth). The answer's in the question.

Yes there are snakes that swim in the Snake River. May and June there can be a lot.

The question had nothing to do with the naming of the river.

From rattlesnakes to bull snakes.

Grew up in the Wallowa valley .
