Snakes

The Bushmaster, lachesis muta muta is the largest Pit Viper in the world with a nasty reputation as a "cruel dude". The Bushmaster is a huge, thick-bodied and highly venomous snake with a triangularly shaped head, one of nature's warning signs that a snake is poisonous and potentially deadly. Bushmasters live in remote, heavily forested tropical jungle terrain. Isolated in their jungle environment, envenomation by a Bushmaster is very serious, sometimes fatal and particularly dangerous to humans. It is important to familiarize yourself with wilderness survivalbefore entering Bushmaster territory because often snake bite victims are miles and miles away from any traditional medical help. The Bushmaster is the largest venomous snake in the New World, often reaching lengths in excess of 6 feet with a maximum recorded length reaching an amazing 14 feet! The Bushmaster has a prominent dorsal ridge and an upturned snout with well defined body scales, keeled and extremely rough. Identifying Bushmaster body color hues range from light brown to shades of pale pink with a series of dark brown or black blotches markings running the entire length of the body including the tail http://www.tigerhomes.org/animal/bushmaster-snake.cfm

Yes, snakes have eyes and can see to some extent. However, their vision is generally better at detecting movement and light changes rather than seeing fine details. They primarily rely on other senses like heat detection and vibrations to navigate their environment.

The black mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis) is considered the fastest snake in the world, capable of reaching speeds up to 12.5 mph (20 km/h) over short distances. It is known for its agility and speed when hunting or defending itself.

The fox snake got its name because it is known to mimic the behavior of a fox by curling its body and raising its head in a defensive posture when threatened. This behavior resembles the way a fox may arch its back when feeling threatened.

Garden or "Garter" snakes are basically just another link in the life cycle of the back yard. They are opportunistic eaters so they will eat what is available be it small fish, toads, even insects. They are NOT venomous and they are rarely aggressive.

no they have no legs

Snakes don't walk. They slither. On their bellies, where they slither on, their is an special oil that makes it easier. But sea snakes also wriggle their bodies in water to swim. Land snakes can go in a straight line, or side wind, wriggling like a s. Sidewinders do that in the sandy deserts they liv in.

The average age varies greatly by species. 46 was the longest age of a snake in captivity at the Philadelphia Zoo. The average age of North American Snakes will live about 18-20 years in captivity.

Rattlesnakes have 'rattles' that are shaken and produce a baby rattle sound. The rattles are made of hollow beads which are actually modified scales from the tip of their tale. Every time they shed their skin, a new bead is added to the tale.

they eat most rodents such as pinkies and fluffies, the rodent cannot be bigger than 1 1/2 of the width of its head. and they would just drink water, making sure the water bowl is the same length as it's body because they like to "have a bath2 so to say especially during the shedding period as the water would make the skin easier to slide off.

The Mojave green snake's venom is highly toxic and can be deadly if not treated promptly. The time it takes to kill someone after a bite can vary depending on factors like the location and severity of the bite, the person's overall health, and the availability of medical treatment. In severe cases, death can occur within a few hours. Prompt medical attention is crucial in these situations.

No, the California king snake is not venomous. They are constrictors, meaning they kill their prey by wrapping around them and suffocating them, rather than injecting venom. They are non-venomous and are not dangerous to humans.

There are legless lizards called glass snakes that can snap off their tails when preyed upon. A new tail eventually grows, but myths have led some people to believe that the glass snake actually puts itself back together.

A snake has more bones. The human skeleton has approximately 200 bones. A snake has at least 200 vertebrae and sometimes more than 400 depending on the species (ccompared with 26 in a human spin) and a similar number of pairs of ribs, giving the snake approximately 600 to 1200 bones in all.

If a snake tries to swallow an animal that is too large to fit down its throat, it will choke. There have been snakes found who choked to death when they could not swallow the animal they had tried to eat. One really large python tried to eat a person. It killed the man, but choked when the man's shoulders got stuck in its throat.

Snakes do not have eyelids like mammals, so they cannot physically close their eyes. Instead, their eyes are protected by a transparent scale called a spectacle, which covers and lubricates the eye to keep it moist and prevent damage.

Snakes in the rainforest can be found in various layers, depending on the species. Some snakes, such as tree boas, may live in the canopy layer, while others, like anacondas, prefer the forest floor. Additionally, some snakes may inhabit the understory or shrub layer of the rainforest.

Depending on the size and species, a female snake can lay between tens and thousands of eggs in its lifetime. Pit vipers bear live young, and have comparatively fewer than oviparous (egg-laying) species.

Yes, sea snakes and crates. There are dozens of species and they live in tropical waters. They contain venom more toxic then their main land cousins, the cobras, since they have to kill fish very quickly. But they are extremely docile snakes and it takes a lot for them to bite you.

A snake dog- a half snake, half dog. It might be the real form of ANUBIS- the Egyptian gatekeeper to the underworld. I saw such a creature during a lucid dream. I reached out to touch it's head as it was looking through my window. It instantaneously wrapped itself around me, and I was in it's grip- paralyzed. I woke up and tried to go to sleep when it happened again. Only this time, I saw the world of lost souls. I woke up and told my wife that I might die soon- That I got a warning. I was distinctly told to stay close to the light. I broke my neck a week later (I was temporarily a quadriplegic) and smashed all the bones in my face. I nearly died on the operating table- the doctors could not clear my airway and insert a breathing tube. I also tore my right vertebral artery in my neck. My accident happened in the Kingdom of Tonga, in the South Pacific. This is a true story.

Snakes use various methods to attract their prey, such as ambush hunting by remaining still and camouflaged until prey comes close enough to strike, or using pheromones to lure prey towards them. Some snakes may also use movement or vibrations to mimic prey or create a visual distraction that draws prey closer.

Corn snakes do not intentionally poop on a specific person. It could be a coincidence or related to factors such as handling frequency, stress levels, or feeding schedule. Ensuring proper husbandry, handling with care, and monitoring the snake's behavior can help address this issue.

The striking distance for a snake can vary depending on the species, but on average it is around half to two-thirds of the snake's body length. This distance allows the snake to accurately strike and capture its prey without having to move too far.

Any living thing can suffocate. If the ability to breath or the lack or air occurs then it is very possible to suffocate and die.
