Reptiles

No, snakes do not kill more people per year than spiders. Spiders are responsible for fewer deaths annually worldwide compared to snakes. Snakes are responsible for more human fatalities due to venomous bites than spiders.

Tortoises can survive without water for a few months, depending on factors such as the species, age, health, and environmental conditions. However, dehydration can be harmful and potentially fatal to a tortoise, so it's essential to provide regular access to fresh water at all times.

There is a species of crocodile known as a "Mugger" and also as a "Marsh" crocodile. Similarly there are other reptiles that have a variation of them beginning with M. Also, there are some snakes known as Moccasins, like a water moccasin and a cottonmouth moccasin.

Reptile Gardens is located in Rapid City, South Dakota. It is a popular tourist attraction known for its collection of reptiles and beautiful botanical gardens.

For sure the young do and also alligators.

The condition you are referring to is called ichthyosis, a rare genetic disorder that causes the skin to become dry, thick, and scaly. It is not related to snake skin but can resemble it in terms of appearance. Treatment typically involves moisturizing the skin and managing symptoms.

Tortoises do not provide parental care to their offspring once they are born. The hatchlings are self-sufficient and responsible for finding their own food and shelter. They are independent from birth and do not receive any feeding or care from their parents.

Alligators can be found in a variety of habitats, including coastal dune lakes. These unique ecosystems provide suitable conditions for alligators, offering water, cover, and food sources. However, their presence in coastal dune lakes may vary based on factors such as water quality and availability of prey.

Yes, the sidewinder snake is venomous. It has potent venom that it uses to immobilize and digest its prey. However, its venom is not typically dangerous to humans unless an individual is allergic or has a severe reaction.

The value of a Ninja Turtle figure in the box can vary greatly depending on factors such as rarity, condition, and demand. Some figures can be worth anywhere from $20 to several hundred dollars, with rare or limited edition pieces fetching even higher prices among collectors. It's best to research specific figures to get an accurate estimate of their value.

Like all reptiles, lizards are cold-blooded. Cold-blooded means that the lizard can not generate its own heat. Mammals are warm-blooded, meaning we can generate our own heat and maintain body temperature levels at a perfect condition without having to use something else to keep us at a good temperature range. Lizards go in the sun so they can warm themselves because their blood cannot maintain heat to keep the body from freezing.

Yes. Alligators in the US exist only in the southeastern states, in swamp habitats from Eastern Texas and Oklahoma to North and South Carolina, and especially in Louisiana, Florida, and the other states along the Gulf of Mexico.

Reptiles have lungs as their primary breathing organs. They rely on the expansion and contraction of their rib cage to facilitate breathing, drawing oxygen into their lungs and expelling carbon dioxide. Some reptiles, like snakes, have a single functional lung, while others have two functional lungs.

Some reptiles that can eat fruit as part of their diet include green iguanas, red-footed tortoises, and Russian tortoises. It's important to research the dietary needs of specific reptile species before introducing fruits to their diet to ensure it is safe and appropriate for them.

Crocodiles are much bigger and stronger then a snake

It is not recommended to pick up wild snakes, including black rat snakes, unless you are trained in handling them. If you need to move a snake, it's best to contact a professional wildlife removal service or animal control for assistance. Remember that snakes can be dangerous if mishandled.

No. For one thing, snakes do not usually own calendars. I would imagine that the reason for asking about July would be the climate during that time of year. The climate is different from one part of the world to another. If snakes did go blind certain times of the year, the specific month probably wouldn't hold much weight in the matter. Snakes do have some vision like humans. To a limited degree they see with color. However, they mainly depend on infrared vision and chemosensation. Chemosensation, in basic terms, is taste and smell.

Yes, some species of black snakes, such as the black racer, can have a silver or light-colored belly. This coloration helps them with thermoregulation by reflecting heat and blending in with their surroundings.

A tortoise is considered more modest than a hare because of its slower, steady pace and humble nature. The story of "The Tortoise and the Hare" exemplifies how perseverance and consistency can lead to success, making the tortoise a symbol of modesty and hard work.

Most Rattlesnake species mate during Summer or Fall while some do during both times. When a female is in heat, Males track them down using scent and mate with them for many days. After mating Males & Females go their own way. Rattlesnakes are viviparous, they give birth to live young. Rattlesnakes generally take several years to mature and females usually reproduce only once every 3 years.

Yes, a rat snake could potentially kill a copperhead or a rattlesnake due to its ability to constrict its prey and overpower them. However, in the wild, they would generally avoid confrontation if possible rather than actively seeking out other snakes to kill.

An alligators eyes are closer together than a crocodiles. The alligator has slanted, slitted eyes, while the crocodile has larger eyes. An alligators head is short and wide, while a crocodiles is longer and thinner.

No. Some snakes are too small to eat mice, and go after insects, amphibians, or fish. Others,such as the reticulated python, would not go after such small prey and instead target prey such as small deer. Many snakes that are in the righ size range still prefer other prey. Sea snakes feed primarily on fish and one genus of snakes feeds entirely on egg. Snakes that do eat rats and mice do not limit themselves to such prey, and will also eat lizards, birds, and even other snakes.

This depends on the snake.

In general, most snakes eyes dont change colour, they are usually brown to black and should look shiney. If your snakes eyes have suddenly turned grey and this is the first time you have noticed, it could be shine of stress or ill health in the snake.
