Why are black mambas mouths black?

How do you immunize dog from snake bites?

There is a rattlesnake vaccine available for dogs. It was approved by the USDA in 2004. The initial vaccine should be given in at least two doses about 30 days apart.

The vaccine has been reported to both delay the effects and reduce the severity of rattlesnake bites and help dogs survive and recover more quickly with less pain and swelling. It is always recommended that a rattlesnake bite be treated as a veterinary emergency-even in a vaccinated dog.

Once vaccinated for rattlesnake bites, the dog would need yearly booster shots.

The above is spot on. It will also provide some protection from closely related rattlesnake cousins. It does not provide protection against Water Moccasin (Cottonmouth), Mojave Rattlesnake or Coral Snake, if memory serves.

If you can, ID the snake; it is a veterinary emergency, and anti-venoms are available if you know the type that bit your dog. Get to your Vet ASAP.

How much do corn snakes cost at incredible pets?

Speaking from personal experience - I would rather go to either a SPECIALIST reptile shop or a private reptile breeder !

Places like Incredible Pets are GENERAL pet shops - often their detailed knowledge is limited, and at best far too sketchy to be useful. Additionally, there is no real guarantee of the quality and health of their livestock.

Specialist shops and are more familiar with the intricate details of reptiles, often dealing with only one or two experienced breeders. Private breeders often have many years experience of breeding reptiles (25 years in MY case !)

Was the Brotherhood of the Snake a satanic order?

The Brotherhood of the Snake is not a Satanic Order, do not believe in the ignorant rubbish from the Alex Jones conspiracy theorist, the Brotherhood of the Snake was a group of Annunaki (A God like race from Sumerian religion) who swore an Oath to Enki (Sumerian God of creation and knowledge) that they would pass on knowledge to the human race and to protect humanity. However, there is a group of Satanist who are Spiritual Satanist that believe Enki is Satan due to the connection that the story of Genesis and the Sumerian story of creation make. There is no evidence that the Brotherhood of the Snake is Satanic, it was just a group of Annunaki who were devouted to Enki where as most Annunaki sided with Anu who wanted to destroy the human race in a flood.
