Snakes

Urutu snakes, also known as Bothrops alternatus, are found in South America, specifically in countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. They are known for their potent venom and are often found in grasslands, forests, and wetlands in these regions.

Snake charmers typically use venomous snakes such as cobras or vipers, as their movements and hood flaring can create an intriguing spectacle. However, this practice is controversial as it can be harmful to the snakes and ultimately encourages their capture from the wild.

It depends what snake you are talking about!

Some snakes crush their prey such as the Anaconda

Others bite their prey using venom such as the cobra.

The girl on the cover of the movie "Once Bitten" is Lauren Hutton. She plays the role of the vampire Countess in the film.

Reptiles reproduce sexually through internal fertilization. The male will inject sperm into the female to fertilize her eggs cells. These then develop into eggs inside the female, which are laid and then hatch at a later time. In some species of snake and lizard the eggs hatch while still in the mother and are born live.

If a snake gets any section of it's body cut off it will die. The exception to this is if the tail gets cut off, but this has to be behind the cloaca, and with males, even further back; as their hemipenes are stored in the tail, just behind the cloaca. If a snake loses it's tail it will heal, but with only a nub for the rest of it's life. Snake tails do not grow back. So, no, it will not grow its head back.

Hope this helps :]

Snakes do not have ears.

Instead, they rely on vibrations, heat, and motion. They follow heat and some motions.

What you see in shows where a person is playing a song, which is when the snake is dancing up from a container, is not true. They cannot hear, but follow the owner or trainer's motions. they use their underbelly to detect vibration..

Nope - as with all snakes, once the babies arrive, they are completely independent from the parents.

Thick hemp rope will work and if you don't have pets or very small children around then glass stucco (2 inches wide) around the perimeter of the house (same as the hemp rope.) Snakes have soft under-bellies and don't like the feel of either of these products. In some places in India they use hemp rope.
The best way to get rid of the snakes is to make sure your back yard is not Snake Heaven. Keep the clutter down. No piles of wood or leaves, nothing they can nest in or hide under. Keep the grass mowed so they don't get comfortable hanging out in it. Also, take care of any rodent or insect problems quickly. If the snakes are migrating to your yard, they've probably got a good reason. A buffet line starring roaches and mice is one of the best. by kady barrie 8 years old

how do wombats kill their pray?

well they would see something chasing it so then it will run up to 25 miles ph. then it would stop dead, and the pray will run staight into the wombats bum and break it's neck.

happy times! :)

A black snake with three bright yellow lines is likely a species of king snake (Lampropeltis), known for their distinct coloration. King snakes are non-venomous and native to North America, with species such as the California kingsnake or the Eastern kingsnake exhibiting this color pattern.

Common specializations in the digestive tract of higher organisms like humans include the presence of villi and microvilli in the small intestine for increased surface area absorption, the production of digestive enzymes by the pancreas to aid in breaking down food, and the presence of specialized cells in the stomach that secrete acid and enzymes for digestion.

Animals that eat snakes include birds of prey like hawks and eagles, as well as some mammals like mongooses and raccoons. Certain species of snakes, such as king snakes and indigo snakes, are known for consuming other snakes as part of their diet.

Anything clean. Don't stack them, or the snake may knock them over and be crushed. Snakes are quite strong, and will pry at things. You can use an aquarium-safe silicone to stick rocks together.

Make sure they are easy to scrub clean and sterilize.

I have been bitten three times by black racers, once on the back of my hand, once on my pinky, and once on my upper lip. None of the bites were very painful, its about as painful as getting smacked. They will cut you though and if you get bit in the lip like me, you'll bleed like crazy but it doesn't hurt that bad really. Usually you are so pumped up trying to catch them you don't really feel the bite that much. Black Racers are not poisenes, don't try to catch them they eat mice and rodents that are in your yard.

According to Internet research they are NOT poisonous and rarely bite.

The humpback whale has been known to go for up to six months without eating during their migration periods. They rely on their fat reserves for energy during this time.

Being from the rural South, and thus being around all things organic, my answer to this question is that Chicken Snakes (genus elaphe, I believe) eat nothing, outside of rodents but chicken eggs. I have actually seen a black chicken snake digesting what you could remarkably make out as what appeared to be 3 eggs at once.

Their name comes from the fact that a chickens actual value, and by this I will be sexist and qualify value with "Hen", Lays, (NPI) with her ability to produce eggs.

These snake are harmless, but enterprising, and will get into a coup and make the rounds, ( or should I say ovals), of either "setting hens" or just freshly laid eggs.

You should be warned, if raising chickens, if a snake is intruding, by the chickens themselves. They get quite upset when invaded by any one of the various varieties of the chicken snake family and become very 'vocal'. It happens mostly at night per my experience.

But remember, they are harmless to humans, though can appear quite aggressive when cornered or entrapped. But they really are just a cost of doing business with nature and surely offset their liking for eggs by the fact they remove far more mice and rats than they ever will eggs.

Again, my personal experience.

Receiving antivenom after a snake bite would be an example of passive immunity, where antibodies are transferred from another source (in this case, the antivenom) to provide immediate protection against the venom.

The pelvic girdle in snakes is vestigial because they have lost their hind limbs during evolution. Since snakes no longer have hind limbs, the pelvic girdle serves no functional purpose and is reduced in size and structure.

Snakes may eat themselves as a result of confusion or disorientation, especially when stressed or ill. This behavior, known as autophagy, is a maladaptive response and can be harmful or fatal to the snake. It is important to address the underlying causes and provide appropriate care to prevent this behavior.
