Snake lay eggs on their back part.And they also take care of their eggs properly.After they had layed they will twirl it like a worm does,and if a human get near them they will bite their legs and give them a warning.

How do you know when a snake is sick?
I am also looking for this answer. However I am learning that if snake makes sounds like sneezing or a purring noise, I hear it has respiratory problems? Our snake is a king snake. So if that is helpful? Also if it throws up more than twice after eating take it to vet. and look for mites on it's head or in feces. After handling check your hands for black dots? Wash your hands before and after handling If eyes are foggy it may be about to shed it's skin. these are all the things I've been able to find out about. Hope it helps. good luck. Oh also veterinarian clinics don't all deal with snakes. So you may have to look around.
My cat is outside off and on during the day and she will go after mice or squirrels, but never have I heard of a going after a snake. I suppose anything is possible. Cats as you know are generally nocturnal so who knows what the little rat bags are up too. Once my cat dragged in a hefty rat and scared the heck out of me. She hadn't killed it so I think it was just instincts that made her do it (in the house most of the time) and then she didn't know what to do with it once it was in the house. I threw a towel over the poor frightened rat and threw it back outside. Where I live it's unusual to have rats close to homes, but if you live within 1 - 2 miles from a railroad (I do) they will often go after the grains dropped from the box cars and if this is not available they will go to homes and after bird feeders for the seeds.
You have quite some cat there.

AnswerMy cat, which is ''supposed'' to be a ''house'' cat, likes to slip out whenever she can to hunt. It's rather distressing to have to rescue baby rabbits, but I have kids and as far as I'm concerned snakes are fine prey.This past December she dug a young Copperhead out of a hole - my own kids and one of the neighbors kids saw her do it. Fortunately, because it had been hibernating it was too sluggish to fight back and Tenshi (our cat) chewed it up.
Then early this spring she was seen digging a common garter snake out of a hole in our neighbor's yard.
Upon further observation, we discovered that she would prowl the yard during the day - who knows what she does at night - and when she found a hole, she'd stick a paw down in it and fish around. It's hilarious to watch.
Now that it's warm, hopefully the snakes have moved out of their temporary homes. Otherwise, she may be in for an unpleasant, maybe even fatal, surprise.
I wish now that we hadn't had her spayed. I'd love to find some snake hunters and try to breed that trait.
Don't get me wrong I don't hate snakes. I'm not really even frightened of them, except when I'm startled by finding one unexpectedly. But if she's going to keep my yard free of Copperheads...well, I wanna know where to find more cats like her!
AnswerWOW! I've never seen a cat do that. Anyway. the cat probably just smelled the snake underneath it. Snakes aren't very clean animals (frequently rolling in their own poo) so they really stink. I imagine the cat could smell it very well with its better sense of smell than humans.What are the four poisonous snakes in the garden of eden?
There is only one snake mentioned in the Bible as living in the Garden of Eden - the clever serpent who seems not to have posed any physical danger to humans. Another way of looking at it is that if every species of animal that ever was, including every species of snake, was in the Garden, then there would have been some hundreds of different types of poisonous snakes in the Garden of Eden. But the real answer is, according to scholars, that the Garden of Eden was a purely mythical place. Mythical places can be free of unpleasant creatures if you want them to be.
Although the Dhaman species belongs to the colubrid family of snakes (which are mostly venomous) - this particular species is not.

no, black mambas are NOT endangered. However, the amount is decreasing because of habitat loss
They live in grassy areas where they can find food and some times in the woods :-):-)
