How do you know a snake is venoumous?

You can tell if a snake is venomous or not by looking at the head. The head of a venomous snake looks shorter, fatter, and wider in comparison to the neck. This is because of the venom glands located at the back of each side of the head. A non-venomous snake's head looks longer, thinner, and there is not a great deal of difference in the width of the head and neck. To get practise of determining if a snake is venomous or not look up these pictures on google. 1) Cotton mouth snake (venomous) 2) black rat snake & brown water snake (non-venomous look alike.) 3) copper head (venomous) 4) cornsnake (non venomous look alike). Can you tell which is venomous and which is not between the Peruvian milk snake and the coral snake? Just by looking? Good luck!

What is a bushmaster snake?

the bushmaster snake is a pit viper snake.

Adults vary in length from 2 to 2.5 m (6.5 to 8.25 ft), although some may grow to as much as 3 m (10 ft). The largest known specimen was just under 3.65 m (12 ft), making it the longest venomous snake in the Western Hemisphere. This is also the longest viper, though not the heaviest (it is surpassed by the gaboon viper and the Eastern diamondback rattlesnake). The bushmaster's tail ends with a horny spine which it sometimes vibrates when disturbed in a similar manner to rattlesnakes. This led to some calling it 'the mute rattlesnake'.

What does it mean when you dream about your dog swallowing a snake and you can see snake moving inside the dog and a snake inside my sons sock and him playing with the snake?

In this dream, the snake probably represents a problem that the dreamer fears will affect the son in some way. The dog represents protection, and is the first solution tried in the dream; "can I protect my son?" The sock might represent hiding (ignoring) the problem or it might be a play on words: "can I sock this person who is troubling my son?" When the son is playing with the snake, the dream is considering whether the problem is really as dangerous as feared. This type of dream allows the dreamer to experiment with various ways of approaching a problem while in the security of sleep.
