Snakes

the adder

because many snakes kill rats for food which damage the crop.

No. Various worms or parasites can live in the human body... tape worms, guinea worms, loa loa (eye worm), or scabies but not snakes.

Garter snakes, like all snakes, are carnivorous. Their diet consists of almost any creature that they are capable of overpowering:

no cobras are not blind but like alot of other animals they can't see color so they ARE color blind but not flat out blind.

A general description provides an overview or summary of something without going into specific details. It is a brief outline that gives a broad understanding of the subject without delving into specifics.

The coral snake is a fairly small but brightly colored snake with black, yellow, and red bands. It is easily mistaken for the harmless milk snake. The red bands of a coral snake touch the yellow bands while in the milk snake, the red bands touch the black ones.

Use this pneumonic:

Red touches yellow: you're a dead fellow.

Red touches black: you're okay jack.

The female snake raises her tail, and the male wraps his tail around hers so the bottoms of their tails meet at the cloaca

The tiger snake is not considered endangered. It is listed as "Least Concern" on the IUCN Red List, as its population is stable and it is not facing major threats. However, conservation efforts are in place to protect their habitats and ensure their continued survival.

Some of the snakes that inhabit Jekyll Island in Georgia include Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnakes, Eastern Coral Snakes, Eastern Rat Snakes, Eastern Garter Snakes, and Eastern Hognose Snakes. It's important to be cautious and respectful of these native species when exploring the island.

first of all,they are not pitvipers.they belong to viper(viperinae) subfamily,because they don't have those thermoloccating pits between eye and nostril..

Secondly:yes,they are endangered,at least i know they are found pretty rare last time,especially east african gaboon viper(B.gabonica gabonica).

There are two mythical creatures that are described as having a rooster's head and the tail of a snake. They are the basilisk and the cockatrice.

Herpetologists are experts on all reptiles, not just snakes. the adjectives Ophidian and Serpentine apply to the serpentine creatures proper. Ophidomania might me a manic condition about snakes. There was an electronic device called and ophidian thermocouple- a heat sensor- that was actually patterned after one installed ( by nature) in a sidewinder snake. Ophidomania- condition, Ophidiomaniac- snake maniac! beware. I knew a guy like that when I was a kid- first it was Icthyology ( fish biology) then, by Gawrsh, he diverged into reptiles. used to panic half the class bringing in manuals on reptiles to class!

all species of snake can and will eat another snake. although how common or rare it is depends on the species of snake. all can and will do it if they are hungry and there's no other options for food.

I've even seen cases where a ball python ate a larger ball python it was being housed with, then died

First, no snake is poisonous. Snakes create and utilize venom.

Poison is an incidental toxic substance that affects the subject when introduced to the body, generally through the skin or gut.

Venom is an intentional protein (in all snakes this holds true but there are a few creatures that must be duck billed platypuses about this) created in a gland for a specific purpose. This purpose is generally hunting or active defense. Rarely is venom utilized in passive defense. This is due to the intentional nature of venom as opposed to the incidental nature of poison.

Large constrictor species can cause serious life threatening injuries on a dog of any size. However, when a snake and dog interact my first fear is for the snake. The dog will naturally pick up the snake and shake it violently. The snake will then attempt to wrap around the dog. The ending is then decided when the snake either successfully chokes the dog or the dog has paralyzed the snake (they usually will not die right away). If it has come to the point that you could not prevent the snake from being paralyzed beheading with a sharp edge (i.e. shovel, machete) is the preferred and most compassionate way to cease its life.

So, in a nutshell yes. Both the snake and the dog pose a very real threat to each other. I personally feel more sympathy for the snake because the dog acts as a pack animal. Meaning the pack leader, (you) has allowed this to occur. When in a pack the group of animals (you are included and have the ability to reason) becomes an abstract entity with "malicious" intent.

They shed their skin when they grow. It's called an exoskeleton (a tough, outer 'skin' to keep all the squishy bits inside as they dont have any bones!). Because they will increase their size a number of times before maturity (just like humans but our skin grows with us- a locusts doesn't), they will shed more the younger they are. Hope that helps.

King snakes are known to kill more prey than they can immediately consume, a behavior known as surplus killing. This can be due to instinctual hunting behavior or the snake being in a state of fasting or brumation. If the snake has not eaten in over a month and a half, it may be preparing to shed its skin, digesting its previous meals slowly, or experiencing a seasonal decrease in appetite.

Copperhead snakes have hemotoxic venom, which primarily affects the blood and blood vessels of their prey. This venom can lead to symptoms such as swelling, pain, and tissue damage in humans if bitten. It is less potent compared to venom from some other venomous snake species.

No .
No, lizards do not eat cactus.

If a snake is opening its mouth randomly, it could be a sign of respiratory issues such as a respiratory infection or difficulty breathing. It is best to consult a veterinarian familiar with reptiles to assess and treat any underlying health concerns.

Snakes play a vital role in controlling rodent populations that can damage sugarcane crops. By keeping the rodent numbers in check, snakes naturally help protect the crops, so they are left undisturbed in the plantations. Additionally, many snake species in this region are harmless to humans and do not pose a threat to agricultural activities.

Udumbu, also known as the red-headed rock agama, is typically preyed upon by various predators such as birds of prey, snakes, and small mammals. These predators hunt udumbu for food due to their small size and vulnerability when out in the open.

I live in ms and we have two oleander plants in our back yard. Our yard is bordered by a ditch that is full of snakes. our neighbors kill snakes in their yards all the time. I have lived in my home for 6 months and i have never seen a snake our yard. And I thank these plants for it!

Solid Snake's birthday is on November 17, 1972.
