After it's 'young' is born, it keeps it where it is. Never lets it leave it's sight. Let's say, an eagle were to of come by and snatched the offspring, the mother of the young would put up a good fight. She would snatch its wing.

Gopher snakes primarily eat small mammals such as rodents, including mice, rats, and gophers, as well as birds, eggs, and occasionally lizards. They are constrictors, meaning they will suffocate their prey by coiling around them before swallowing them whole.

The five largest snakes in the world are the reticulated python, the green anaconda, the Indian python, the Burmese python, and the African rock python. These snakes can reach lengths of over 20 feet and are known for their impressive size and strength.

Tiger snakes primarily eat small mammals, birds, frogs, and reptiles. They also consume fish and invertebrates like insects and crustaceans. They are opportunistic predators and will feed on whatever is available in their habitat.

Sidewinder snakes typically grow between 1 to 2 feet in length, with some individuals reaching up to 2.5 feet. They are relatively small compared to other snake species.

The longest venomous snake in the world is the King Cobra, with one specimen reaching over 18.5 feet long.

Several other venomous snakes - such as the bushmaster, eastern diamondback rattlesnake, or gaboon viper - may reach a greater weight than the king cobra even though they are much shorter.

The appropriate word to use is "venomous", not "poisonous", because venom refers to a toxin that is injected by the animal, whereas poisonous animals are those who spread their toxin by being ingested or through contact with the skin.

Start by drawing the head of the snake, which is typically shaped like an oval. Then, add a long, curvy line to represent the body. Finally, draw a tail at the end of the body and add some details like scales or eyes to complete the drawing.

Snakes are elongated, legless reptiles that are cold-blooded and covered in scales. They use their forked tongues to gather scent particles, and most species are carnivorous, feeding on a variety of prey including rodents, birds, and insects. Some snakes are venomous and use venom to subdue their prey, while others constrict their prey with their bodies.

Water snakes are preyed upon by a variety of predators including birds of prey, larger snakes, raccoons, and some fish species. However, their primary predators are herons and other wading birds that hunt for them in shallow water habitats.

Snakes exist because they are one part of the nature and our planet. And why couldn't they exist?! The same is to ask: why do people exist?

Snakes aren't bad. They help to keep the balance in the nature.

The record for the most snake bites survived is held by Bill Haast, who was bitten over 170 times during his years of working with venomous snakes at the Miami Serpentarium.

Based on the description, it sounds like you have found a California king snake (Lampropeltis californiae). This species is known for its brown coloration with turquoise stripes running along its body from head to tail, as well as on its underbelly. California king snakes are non-venomous and are popular in the pet trade for their striking appearance. Remember to admire from a distance and avoid handling if you are unsure of its species.

Talk to your doctor about this. He or she probably has someone who you can be referred to for this issue. It is good that you are taking an active approach to this though and any cancer should be able to be spotted before it is very serious.

If a venomous snake bites its own tongue nothing would happen. Venomous animals are immune to their own venom. If two rattlesnakes of the same species fight, neither will be harmed by the venom they inject.

There are no states with 'poisonous' snakes. However, neither Alaska nor Hawaii have venomoussnakes. Venomous snakes may have been extirpated in both Maine and Deleware, also. However, there is a slight chance that they may exist in small numbers in isolated locations.

The Eastern Brown Snake will usually put it's head up and coil back an "S" type position before it will strike. Eastern Brown Snakes are very timid animals, but will bite you (sometimes repeatedly) of provoked, stepped on or feeling threatened. The Eastern Brown Snake is the second most deadliest snake in the world.

Adult water moccasins (Agkistrodon piscivorus) typically grow to around 2 to 4.5 feet in length, with rare individuals reaching up to 6 feet. They are moderately sized venomous snakes found in the southeastern United States, specifically in the coastal plain from Texas to North Carolina.

Some adaptations they make are being able to smell things with their tongues, hard skin to protect their eyes, and scales to protect them. Their bodies are often camouflaged to hide from predators.

No, male snakes cannot lay eggs. Only female snakes have the reproductive organs necessary to lay eggs. Male snakes fertilize the eggs through copulation with a female snake.

Some species of coral snakes are considered to be threatened or endangered due to habitat loss, pollution, and collection for the pet trade. Conservation efforts are in place to protect these unique and often misunderstood snakes.
