Snakes

A Snake with flames tattoo possibly represents Chinese Astrology. People with these tattoos were probably born in the year of the Snake and adding the combination of their personal element such as metal, earth, water and in this case fire, these tattoos can have a deep and profound meaning to the individual... or else the person just likes snakes and thought it looked badass with flames coming out of it's mouth..?

Snake away is a granular snake repellent that contains sulfur and naphthalene, which emit strong odors that snakes find irritating. When spread around an area, it deters snakes from entering by overwhelming their sense of smell and making the area inhospitable for them. However, it is important to note that snake away is not always effective and may not provide a long-term solution for snake control.

Snakes that have venom have long, hollow fangs that the venom travels through when it bites it's prey. Muscles force the venom from the snakes storage glands through a duct into the hollow fangs. Tiny holes at the ends of the fangs eject the venom directly into the prey

The snake you are describing is likely a diamondback water snake. These snakes are non-venomous and primarily feed on fish, amphibians, and small mammals. While they may seem intimidating, they are generally not aggressive towards humans unless provoked.

A big yellow snake is typically referred to as a Burmese python. They are one of the largest snake species and can reach lengths of over 20 feet.

Yes, it is a protein that your stomach breaks down, just like a snake's.

Its probably not advisable though since you may have a cut in your mouth or stomach and it could enter the blood stream which could be fatal.

Snakes have fewer eggs because they tend to invest more energy in producing larger and more developed offspring compared to frogs. This strategy increases the chances of survival for their offspring. Frogs, on the other hand, produce many eggs with less investment in each, increasing the odds of at least some surviving to adulthood.

Yes all snakes have backbones, they are pretty much made of just backbone and skin lol

Water moccasins (aka Cottonmouth) are carnivorous and will eat whatever they can catch. They are a venomous water snake found in the southern United States. According to an internet search, their food sources include small mammals (rodents), reptiles (other snakes, lizards, baby alligators, turtles), frogs, fish and birds. They can be very aggressive if they feel threatened (personal experience) and people have died as a result of their bite.

Medusa and her three sisters, they were born as gorgons(woman with snake hair) whenever a mortal looked into their eyes they would turn to stone. some myths suggested that Athena(goddess of wisdom) turned Medusa into a gorgon because she was jealous that Poseident(sorrry idk how to spell his name) liked Medusa over her.

Different snakes have different dietary requirements, so ratsnakes would not compete with animals which do not eat rats. Some snakes eat insects, and some eat other snakes. Some snakes eat eggs. Depending on their diet, snakes compete with certain birds, mammals, amphibians, and other reptiles, and sea snakes compete with fish and other sea creatures which eat the same prey as they do.

I don't know. Maybe you should ask the snake.

Without seeing the bite and knowing your location, it is difficult to say for sure if it was a snake bite. Signs of a snake bite can include swelling, pain, and possibly puncture wounds. It's best to seek veterinary care immediately if you suspect a snake bite to ensure proper treatment.

Both adders and vipers are types of venomous snakes, but they are not the same. Adders typically refer to snakes in the Vipera genus found in Europe and Asia, while vipers are a broader term encompassing many species of venomous snakes in the Viperidae family found worldwide.

There are three species of snakes that are native to Alaska: the Common Garter Snake, the Northwestern Garter Snake, and the Wandering Garter Snake. These snakes are found in the southern coastal regions of the state and are adapted to the colder climate of Alaska.

To explain this you need to first know how the eye works. 'Cones' are what we use to see color. Snakes have a very limited amount of cones in their retinas, much less than you or I. It is the same for them, but not as vivid nor wide a range. Think in terms of hues and shades.

Rods are what allow us to see in different levels of light. In general snakes can see better at night because their rods are more highly developed than the cones and that is opposite how we as humans see. The cones in our eyes are better developed and that allows us to see colors in much more more easily and in more vivid tones. (Not accounting for color blindness in humans)

In addition to what we as humans see, there are some snakes who see into the infrared spectrum. That allows them to see much better in extremely low light or darkness.

There are many snakes that live in NY. Some include the simple Garden Snakes, Suns snakes, and tree snakes. These snakes are harmless, and some people even have them as pets. However, there are some not so friendly snakes too. The diamondback rattler, the black mamba, the Boa Constrictor family, and even the Hydrophis Belcheri Sea snake in the sewers of NYC. The diamond back rattler is the most venomous snake from the Rattler family, and is capable of killing a 200 Lb. man 6 times over. Every year, about 200 people (mostly hikers & campers) are killed by the diamondback rattlesnake each year in NY. Next is the Black Mamba. This is sometimes regarded as the most venomous land dwelling snake in the world. The venom is so potent, medical help must be seeked within approximately 30 minutes, or else the venom will shut down the brain, stopping all bodily functions, and eventually, killing the person. Fortunately, the black Mamba is rare, and only about three people are killed by it each year. The Boa Constricter family is not native to NY. Up until around 7 years ago, people were able to buy constrictors in pet shops. Kids all over NY bought them because they were cool, and when they grew to their full length, the could not keep them, so they released them into the wild. The Boa population is running strong. Last year, (2010) Boas killed approximately 37 residents in NY. Lastly, is the Hydrophis Belcheri sea snake. The Hydrophis Belcheri lives in the sewers of New York City. They are jot native to these lands either. They originated from Cuba and the Carribbean, and were brought over by Cartels (Drug Lords) to be sold on the Black market. They ran for thousands a piece. As time passed, many of the original buyers were not interested in purchasing Hydrophis Belcheris, so the Cartels began releasing them into the sewers. They mated, and produced an reasonable population, that is thought to have reached a little over 1,000. They feed on the rats that live in the sewer, and occasionally reach the subway. The number of deaths is low from the Hydrophis Belcheri, but it is climbing as overpopulation plagues NYC. Hope this Helps!

yes snakes are animal, reptiles to be exact.

Predators of copperhead snakes include birds of prey, such as owls and hawks, as well as other snakes, like the kingsnake and the black racer. Additionally, mammals like foxes and opossums may also prey on copperheads.

Sand adders are mildly venomous, while hognose snakes are not venomous at all. Sand adders possess venom that they use to subdue their prey, while hognose snakes rely on their behavior and physical traits for defense rather than venom.

Yes, Leimadophis epinephelus is commonly known as the indigo snake.
