Snakes

Dreaming of a pregnant snake may suggest creative energy or transformation in your life. The presence of multiple snakes could symbolize hidden fears or challenges you are facing. It may be a sign to confront and address these issues to move forward positively.

No it is not.

The above is misleading. It is illegal to kill any kind of snake (including the poisonous copperhead and rattlesnake) in Maryland without a permit from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR).

The short answer is - Evolution ! Snakes and lizards evolved from the same branch of the animal kingdom. However - over successive generations, they lost their limbs. Pythons still retail the remains of their hind legs - in the form of two 'spurs' visible near the vent on their belly.

It's the same reason we humans lost our tail - evolution got rid of it because it was redundant. The remains of our tail is the coccyx - the fused bony section at the bottom of the spine.

The largest snakes on Earth are the reticulated python (Python reticulatus) and the green anaconda (Eunectes murinus). They can both grow to lengths exceeding 20 feet and weigh several hundred pounds.

Sailfish display cooperation while hunting, sometimes joining dozens of other sailfish as they try to catch prey. The hunting sailfish communicate with one other during the hunt by changing their colors.

Snake fangs can vary in length depending on the species. On average, they can range from a few millimeters to around 2 inches long. Venomous snakes typically have longer fangs compared to non-venomous species.

Nonpoisonous snakes swim by moving their bodies in a wave-like motion, propelling themselves through the water. They use their muscular bodies and flattened tails to push against the water, enabling them to glide smoothly through aquatic environments. Additionally, they may also use their scales to create friction against the water, aiding in their propulsion.

Snake bites are a type of facial piercing that involve two symmetrical piercings below the bottom lip. Whether or not they would look good on you is subjective and depends on your personal style, features, and preference. It's important to carefully consider the potential pain, healing process, and long-term impact before getting any piercing.

brown snakes get to about 1.5 metres long so an adult brown snake gets to about that long. I'm not completely sure though.

In most cases, a rat snake bite is not deadly to dogs as rat snakes are nonvenomous. However, the bite can cause pain, swelling, and irritation. It is still important to monitor the dog for any signs of infection and seek veterinary attention if necessary.

It is unlikely that a rat snake would kill a dog with its bite. Rat snakes are non-venomous and typically only bite as a defensive behavior when threatened. A dog may experience some pain and swelling from a rat snake bite, but it is unlikely to be fatal.

Yes, corn snakes are non venomous snakes. They are often mistaken for copper heads and rattle snakes because of their saddle-backed pattern and their ability to vibrate their tails, so that it sounds like rattling. But they are harmless and usually docile.

- It gains extra heat by basking in sunlight

- When temperatures become very low it hibernates in a sheltered place during prolonged cold periods.

- They hibernate during winter also to enable them to survive the surrounding cold. Hibernating causes the metabolic rate to drop which causes the body temperature to drop in warm conditions, there heart beat slows down and there breathing rate drops

- When temperatures rise, the brown snake shelters in shade under logs and is active only in cooler parts of the day, such as the evening.

- They are usually active during the day but when it is very hot they become nocturnal and their active periods are at night.

Mean as a rattlesnake.

Venum cant exactly be removed from a snake permantantly, because it is patrt of there blood type and they cannot purify there blood. Although some scientists have done it before, in nearly 2-3 years the venum transformed through another animal to the snake. This may alos depend on the snake, such as a rattling snake< the venunm can be removed but it comes back over time from another animal.You many think venom can poison a snake... but it doesnt! As long as it comes from the same origin or breed of a snake, there own venom cant be poisoness.

The gestation period for snakes can vary depending on the species, but typically ranges from 2 to 6 months. Some species may have longer gestation periods while others may have shorter ones. After the gestation period, female snakes give birth to live young or lay eggs.

No reason why not. Most snakes can be 'conditioned' to take thawed out frozen food. One of the most successful methods I've used is to 'starve' the snake for a short period (maybe twice or three times the period it's used to being fed) - then offer food that's been thawed by means of tweezers so you can wiggle it in front of the snake without being bitten ! If the snake still refuses the food - simply wait another week or two before trying again.

In the early stages of 'converting a snake onto dead food - you will probably end up wasting a few rodents - since you cannot re-freeze them once thawed ! Perseverance is the key !

The skin gets an oily coat underneath, which is meant to protect the new skin and help the old one to detach easily. The eyes of the snake can look really white, or milky when this stage of the shed is reached.

Usually, when my snakes have milky eyes, I know they will shed in about a week. When they are coming up to a shed, they stop defecating and will become quite unsociable, hiding away in their shelters. It's best not to touch a snake or other reptile at this time, as the new skin could be damaged by handling.

The cost of an egg-eating snake can vary depending on the species and where you buy it from. On average, prices range from $50 to $200. It's important to also consider ongoing costs such as housing, food, and veterinary care.

"Snake Milk" is a term which refers to the droplets of venom one obtains by "milking" a snake. It is often used for scientific study and the making of anti-venom.

Banded sea snakes typically weigh between 1-2 pounds on average, with some specimens reaching up to 4 pounds. Their weight can vary depending on their size and age.

females do, the male just protects the egg.

It is an orifice that Snakes excrete their urine and feces from, not like mammals that have two orifices for this action

Snakes have many enemies. Large birds, wild boars, mongooses, raccoons, foxes, coyotes and even other snakes are a few of the dangers snakes fall prey to. Many people find it surprising that the largest and the scariest snakes can be afraid of anything.
