Snakes

At the adult stage they grow to be about 4 to 6 feet in length

Black Mamba Venom is the most rapid-acting venom of any snake species. It contains highly potent neurotoxins. It also contains cardiotoxins. Even a 10 to 15mg quantity of venom can be deadly to a human adult. It delivers an average of around 100 to 120 mg of venom and depending on the quantity of venom injected, it can potentially kill a human in less than 20 minutes. If bitten, neurological, respiratory and cardiovascular symptons begin within 15 mins or less. Symptions include dizziness, drowsiness, coughing and difficulty to breath. The fatality rate depends on various factors, such as the health, size, age, psychological state of the victim, the penetration of one or both fangs from the snake, amount of venom injected, location of the bite, and proximity to major blood vessels

yes but only some eggs it depends on the type of animal

This depends on the snake and their habits. If they use the bathroom in the water then you want it as soon as you can. If your snakes water is clean and looking good I would recommend changing every week.

Use a big knife, or a sharpened spoon. Copy/paste the link below for a printable snake dissection diagram with labeled parts (.pdf). Use this as a guide for locating organs.

Cobra snakes are bad pets because they are extremely harmful reptiles. They can kill you within a single bite.

Snakes cannot hear. However they can sense ground vibrations.

Snakes don't have external limbs.

It depends on what species of snake and the location of the snake.

Many snakes will eat other snakes, other common predators of snakes include birds and foxes.

because there they can find their food

No. Snakes are solitary animals that only come together to breed.

Forcing snakes to live together can cause several problems:

1. stress due to one snake trying to be dominate over the other snake. this snake will take most of the food and the hides it likes. the other will be very stressed and as a result have reduced immune system functionality, eat less, and not be very happy.

2. cannibalism. while not common in all species, it does in fact happen with nearly all species. all it takes is for one to mistake the other as food and eat it, and then possibly die due to the size of the meal. is it really worth the risk?

3. disease and parasite transfer between the snakes. if snakes are housed together, any parasites or diseases that one has, the other will also get. if one gets sick, then you've doubled your vet bills.

all this risk for what? it doesn't really save money, tanks and supplies are cheap.

all it saves is a few cubic feet of shelf space.

Not really, but snakes can smell the extra weight/meat in your body, so they might notice, but that does not make them more obtamed to attack you.

There are small garter snakes. None of which are poisonous. On occasion, snakes have been found in supermarkets around pei in bunches of bananas and other tropical fruits and vegetables.

Many, many snakes are brown and black, as this coloration is useful for camouflage. The answer to this question also depends on what you would consider a "stripe". The ball python is a fairly common pet snake that has brown and black markings. As do some color strains of corn snakes and garter snakes. The rat snake can be brown with black stripes, but I've never seen one with the reverse. The black-striped snake is so named because, go figure, it is black and striped. Its stripes are brown. Indigo snakes are almost entirely black, but can have brownish markings around their head and chin. The mud snake and crayfish snake are black with a brown belly which can, from the side, look like a single brown stripe stretching the entire length of the snake. The hognose is also black and brown, though again it's more brown with black stripes than black with brown stripes. The night snake can have wither brown stripes or black stripes, but not both. The common kingsnake and the plainbelly water snakes are actually brown with large, black spots, but if you only look quickly they can appear black with many thin, brown stripes. Most other water snakes also have brown and black markings. The whipsnake is a gray with brown stripes. The longnose snake and mountain patchnose snake are black with brown stripes. As is the Western Ribbon snake, though it can also have red stripes in the mix. The copperhead and rattlesnake can also both have black and brown markings, that in some cases will certainly appear mostly black with brown stripes. This is not, by any means, a complete list of snakes that fit the description you gave. If you could post a picture you would, I'm sure, get a more helpful response.

Monitor lizards, snakes, cone snails, many birds, amphibians, most cartilaginous fish and baleen whales (with zooplankton) can swallow prey whole.

One snake has eyeshine - the rattlesnake.

I was interested in finding this out because a pair that is at the petstore I buy from keeps getting pregnant. They are EXCELLENT parents and produce awesome babies, but the dad just keeps getting the mom pregnant. Anyway, I used a calculator to try to figure out how many babies she could have in a lifetime...

She has about 12 babies per litter. The gestation period is approx 20 days. I used an average of 4 years for her lifetime.

365/20= 18 times per year possible to get pregnant

18x4= 72 times possible to get pregnant in her lifetime

72x12 (per litter)= 864 babies in her lifetime (about 216 babies per year if you want to change the number of years variable)

216 babies in 1 year

432 babies in 2 years

648 babies in 3 years

864 babies in 4 years

1080 babies in 5 years

Might not be the most accurate because that is if the female is immediately pregnant again right after having a litter, so those are like the maximum potentials, but still interesting to see. That's a LOT of babies!

ALL snakes are meat-eaters - whether that's something as large as an antelope (for a Reticulated python) or termites (for a thread-snake) !

It all really depends on the species, the amount of food it eats, it's temperature and even injuries can effect the snakes ability to shed it's skin. Some snakes can shed as frequently as once every month, others much slower.

It depends how big the snake is. Young ones' teeth are tiny, and are unlikely to puncture a persons skin. An adult, however, has teeth that are 3-4mm long, and are capable of breaking the skin.

I doubt it. As it is not aggressive. Now, coming from a former snake keeper, they will strike you if they feel hurt in any way. But, usually will not strike. If it's being held and is hurt simultaneously it could strike, mostly where it's being held, but it can, incidentally, lacerate your jugular and you COULD die if you're within a thousand miles of help. Lol. Such an awesome snake.

yes it can

if it is snake then yes antivenom can beat the venom if it is characters then now way

Yes, they can swim. Though I am not sure how often they do it, I did see one swim with it's body under the water surface. This is unlike a Cottonmouth that swims above the water surface.
