No, they have fangs and can bite. some species can spit their venom which is sort of a projectile weapon like a water gun, the venom is deadly and if it gets in the eyes, can cause total blindness of the eye involved. another reason to wear shades in the jungle.
No. Lions are adapted to a warm climate and hunt the grazing animals of the African grasslands. The cold, harsh climate of the northern taiga is only suitable for animals that have evolved ways of coping with it.
Snakes do have noses. They are usually referred to as nostrils. They are two small round holes very close to their mouth. SOME PEOPLE say they dont have a nose but some times its so tiny that its hard to see, and they think they don't but they do. hope this helps.

What kind of snake is a lime-green snake in south Texas?
It is a Northern Rough Greensnake. So called because of the keel like ridges on its scales which gives it a "rough" feel unlike normal smooth scaled snakes. These lime green snakes are often found in dense, low lying vegetation near a permanent water source. They rely on their color for camouflage and will usually attempt to escape if threatened. They rarely bite instead relying on the release of feces, musk, and urine to throw off predators. Their primary diet is soft bodied arthropods, including crickets, spiders, moths, butterflies, and grasshoppers. Green snakes are oviparous.

How do you tell if your snake is about to shed?
Hi there!
Theres quite a few ways to help your snake shed. Moisture is the key here... You want to get your humidty levels upto around 40-60%. Provide a nice moist area for your snake to use, You dont want it to be too moist as this can cause scale rot. Damp Spaughnam moss is good for this. Shouldn't be so wet that there is water dripping off it, But just damp enough that if you squeeze it there will be a bit of leakage.
Alterantively, you can use a damp towel/flannel.
Also make sure you provide a rough surface that your snake can rub against to help break the skin from the tip of its nose, then move along to pull its shed down.
