Snakes

It depends on where it is. If you keep them indoors then you shouldn't because summer brings heat but when summer comes so does air conditioning.Outdoors it wouldn't be necessary to keep it on, but it should be in your best interest and best judgment to keep it on.

a blue racer snake is a constrictor so the snake would strangle its victim by going on it and tightening it self so that there prey cant eat so when their prey is dead they just start eating

A ring-necked snake, a small snake that eats invertebrates such as slugs and worms.

They don't need to. The eyes are covered by a clear protective 'lens' - called the 'brille' which prevents dust etc getting to the actual eyeball.

Some populations dwindle, such as the Ridge-nose rattlesnake, the Massasauga, and the Twin-spotted rattlesnake, along with a myriad of other subspecies. I would say that rattlesnake round-ups are the biggest threat to rattlers, although the round-ups do only affect a few species. People also need to be less quick to kill a rattlesnake on "their" property.

Cows are herbivores, and snakes are meat, so the answer is, obviously, no.

This would depend on a variety of things, the type of snake, if they got antivenom in time, how bad the bite was, the condition of the person bitten. For instance a bite off a Black Mamba is almost 100% death without the antivenom, the European adder on the other hand while bites can be painful they're seldom fatal.

No

they are there to keep the little guys warm

Burmese python

Most pythons live in the dense underbrush of rugged tropical rainforest regions. They are excellent climbers; some species, like the Green Tree Python, are arboreal. Arboreal means to live in trees. = boomslang and green mamba also lives on trees and some boa species too.

Both of your questions are yes, because it destroys rodents, which left unchecked can become a threat to crops, and spread disease.

to be specific there are no snakes that are poisonous, there quite a few that are venomous.

poisonous means that it is harmful if eaten, breathed in or touched, you could safely eat any snake (even the venomous ones) and not become ill.

venomous means they inject enzymes (venom) to subdue their prey.

here is a list of the top 10 most venomous snakes.

10.Eastern Diamondback rattlesnake

9.Death adder

8.Saw Scaled Viper

7.Philippine Cobra

6.Tiger Snake

5.Black Mamba

4.Taipan

3.Blue Krait

2.Eastern Brown Snake

1.Inland Taipan (a sub, species of number 4 but it is the most venomous land snake on earth..The maximum yield recorded for one bite is 110mg, enough to kill about 100 humans)

None, there is no such thing as a poisonous snake. Snakes can be venomous but not poisonous. The difference is that poisonous animals usually emit poison from glands in their skin and then someone touches it and gets poisoned. Venomous animals inject venom into someone by biting them with fangs or stabbing them with spikes, like on the lion fish. You can tell when a snake is venomous because the venom gland are on the back of either side of their head. A way to see the difference is to look up a cotton mouth snake, which is venomous, and then look up a black rat snake, a non venomous snake that's, unfortunately, often killed when it is mistaken as a cotton mouth. Look at the heads, it's really easy to see the difference. You could also compare the brown water snake to the cotton mouth, they are non-venomous also but look a lot like the cotton mouth. Venomous snakes heads are more fat and wide looking, really arrow headed. Non-venomous snakes head's are narrower and longer looking.

Yes, snakes see, but some have better eyesight than others. Some snakes have special organs near their eyes that can detect infrared radiation (heat), allowing them to spot prey even at night.

For countless ages, a snake shedding its skin has been a symbol of new life. While it is difficult to interpret an entire dream from a single symbol, this dream has something to do with renewal and starting afresh.

Black Mamba Venom is the most rapid-acting venom of any snake species. It contains highly potent neurotoxins. It also contains cardiotoxins. Even a 10 to 15mg quantity of venom can be deadly to a human adult. It delivers an average of around 100 to 120 mg of venom and depending on the quantity of venom injected, it can potentially kill a human in less than 20 minutes. If bitten, neurological, respiratory and cardiovascular symptons begin within 15 mins or less. Symptions include dizziness, drowsiness, coughing and difficulty to breath. The fatality rate depends on various factors, such as the health, size, age, psychological state of the victim, the penetration of one or both fangs from the snake, amount of venom injected, location of the bite, and proximity to major blood vessels

He was 4 days old and he killed it with a bow and arrow.

Assuming you're talking about 'day-old chicks' - It depends on the individual snake. Some will absolutely refuse anything other than rats or mice, while others will eat a variety of food. I have corn snakes in my collection that will only eat white mice... and others that will eat anything you put in front of them !

Oddly enough, its base is often venom itself.

Yes and yes. My big bruiser kitty takes down garter snakes and munches then up with abandon. A cat a friend had when I was a kid attacked and injured his small boa constrictor.

Some veterinarians do provide medical care for snakes; however, these veterinarians are relatively few and far between. To find a veterinarian who has knowledge and experience working with snakes, you will need to call around to vet clinics in your area and ask if any veterinarian at that clinic will see snakes. You may also want to ask if a veterinarian knows of anyone in the area that treats snakes.

No snakes do not need vaccinations or injections because when they are kept in captivity they will not carry viruses or diseases.
