Reptiles

Aliigators are carnivores, and eat fish, and birds, any animal basicly they can catch, even the occasional human.
Fish, especially Catfish. They eat snakes especially Corn snakes, and they eat small mammals like opossums.

All of the Spiny-tailed lizards belong to the genus Uromastyx.

Saltwater Crocodiles normally live alone although the babies may live in groups. Some male saltwater crocodiles hunt in groups to bring down very large prey like rhinos, elephants and great white sharks.

Countless numbers of snakes are venomous, the number is constantly growing, but only two/three LIZARDS are venomous. The beaded lizard of Mexico, and the Gila monster of southern California and Mexico are positively poisonous. The third is poisonous based on ones perception of the word "venomous", the Komodo Dragon of Indonesia has a bacteria in its mouth that kills when injected into another animals body, so although it has no venom, it is poisonous.

A snake's heart typically beats at a rate of around 5-15 times per minute when at rest. During activity or stress, the heart rate may increase up to 70 beats per minute.

In reptiles, the nerve cord is part of the central nervous system that runs along the length of the animal's body. It consists of a chain of nerve cells that extends from the brain and helps in transmitting nerve impulses to control various bodily functions like movement and coordination.

You can try educating your parents about snakes, their care requirements, and the benefits of owning one as a pet. Address their concerns about safety and responsibility by showing that you are mature enough to handle the responsibility. Offer to take on additional chores or responsibilities to demonstrate your commitment.

A basilisk is a mythical creature often described as a serpent or lizard with the power to cause death with a single glance. It is also known as the "king of serpents" in European folklore and legends. The basilisk is commonly associated with fear and danger in medieval and fantasy literature.

The amniotic egg is the feature present in reptiles and absent in amphibians that freed reptiles from dependence on water for reproduction. The amniotic egg has protective membranes and allows reptile embryos to develop on land, reducing the need for water for reproduction.

Yes, all dogs are born with tails, although there was some breeds of dogs whose tails were amputated for a variety of reasons, but nowadays that is illegal in many countries.
yesNO NOT ALL DOG SUM DOGS HAVE STUMPS..YOU SEE LIKE A BOXER IT ONLY HAS A LITTLE STUMP AS A TAIL AND A TAIL IS USUALLY LONG

The Age of Reptiles occurred during the Mesozoic Era. This era is subdivided into three periods: the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous. The Age of Reptiles was characterized by the dominance of dinosaurs and other prehistoric reptiles.

The most venomous snake on earth is the Belcher's Sea Snake (Hydrophis Belcheri) or the Faint Banded Sea Snake, some consider the Inland Taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus) an/or the Beaked Sea Snake (Enhydrina schistosa) to be the most toxic, however, with recent and more accurate studies prove the Belcheri has a 100 times more toxic venom then the two above or any other snake on earth.

It has a paddle-like tail, breathes air and can hold it's breath up to 8 hours, a few milligrams of venom can kill over a thousand people.

It's habitat is a wide range in the South Pacific.

Excluding the Belcher's Sea Snake the next most venomous snakes on earth according to their venom rating are:

2- Inland Tiapan (Oxyuranus Microlepidotus).

3- Common Indian Krait (Bungarus Caeruleus).

4- Philippine Cobra (Naja Philippinensis).

5- King Cobra (Ophiophagus Hanna).

6- Russell's Viper (Vipera Russellii).

7- Black Mamba (Dendroaspis Polylepis).

8- Yellow Jawed Tommygoff (Bothrops Asper).

9- Multibanded krait (Bungarus Multicinctus).

10- Tigar Snake (Notechis Scutatus).

11- Jararacussu (Bothrops Jararacussu).

A lot of reptiles use camouflage to blend in with their environment however Chameleons have special cells called chromatophores that allow them to actually change color where as other reptiles are the color of their environment.

A reticulated python at 33ft in length.

The longest snake is the Reticulated Python, found in Indonesia. The record length for an adult "retic" is believed to be around 30ft. No measured and documented specimens of this length have been found, however.

The cheap crappy ones in souvenir shops are preserved by soaking fully submerged in formaldehyde for approx 6 months, then marbles are placed in the eye sockets and allowed to dry. All meat is still present and can rot as well as draw bugs.

The slightly better ones are freeze dried in a $20,000 machine.

All meat is still present and can rot as well as draw bugs.

The best ones are done by a competent taxidermist. They are fully fleshed of all meat, and fat, and brains including the inside of the jaw bones and upper pallet, then tanned. After tanning the tongue and throat are rebuilt using casts of real ones.

Not any way to do one at home, I am afraid.

The South Dakota state reptile is the Ornate Box Turtle (Terrapene ornata). It was designated as the state reptile in 1989 to represent the native reptile species found in South Dakota. The Ornate Box Turtle is known for its distinctive yellow and black markings on its shell.

Reptile babies come from eggs. Most reptiles lay eggs, which are fertilized internally before being deposited in a suitable environment for incubation until they hatch. Some reptiles, like certain species of snakes and lizards, give birth to live young instead of laying eggs.

Crocodiles are able to float like logs due to their low-density bodies and thick, buoyant skin. They have a large lung capacity that helps them stay afloat, and their limbs are positioned on their sides to reduce water resistance, allowing them to glide effortlessly through the water.

That would be the King Cobra. They usually measure about 15 feet in length, but the longest ever recorded was at a Zoo in London, measuring 18 feet 9 inches.

The snake's lung which is responsible for their breathing is called the "Vestigial lung."

The caecilians are an order of amphibians that superficially resemble earthworms or snakes. Knowledge of caecilians is far from complete, because of their habitat and possibly partly because they have often been mistaken for worms or snake. Geographically, they are most prolific in Central and South America but they also populate other tropical areas of the world, including South-East Asia and parts of Africa.

Flying snakes can be found in Southeast Asia, particularly in countries like India, Indonesia, and the Philippines. They inhabit the dense forests and can be seen gliding from tree to tree using their unique flying ability to catch prey and move around their habitat.
