Snakes

Green bamboo viper snakes typically ambush their prey, which includes rodents, birds, lizards, and frogs. They strike and inject venom into their prey, then track and consume it. Their venom helps to immobilize and digest their food.

The eastern ribbon snake typically has three long yellow stripes running along its body, with a black or dark brown background color. Sometimes, these stripes may be a brighter yellow or orange color.

A snake milker extracts venom from snakes in a controlled environment to be used for medical research and production of antivenom. They ensure the safe handling and collection of venom from venomous snakes without harming the animals.

Using the wrong anti-venom can potentially lead to an allergic reaction or worsen the symptoms of the venomous bite or sting. It is important to properly identify the type of venom involved and use the appropriate anti-venom to effectively treat the toxicity. Consulting with a healthcare professional or poison control center is crucial if there is uncertainty about the type of venom or appropriate treatment.

about 5 years if they are wild, and if they are kept well, 10 years with people.

Yes, India is home to a diverse range of snake species, with around 300 different types of snakes found in the country. This includes both venomous and non-venomous snakes, making India one of the countries with the most snake biodiversity.

I have had several dreams about snakes. Usually for me, they just represent obstacles because I see snakes as evil little things I have to take care of. Just think about what snakes mean to you.

Competition. Both the owl and the snake must compete for the same food source.

Yes, some species of snakes can survive in high altitudes. Certain snake species, such as the Tibetan pit viper, are adapted to living in elevated regions with lower oxygen levels. These snakes have evolved physiological and behavioral adaptations to thrive in high altitude environments.

Yes, some snakes have specialized heat-sensing organs called pits located between their eyes and nostrils. These pits help them detect infrared radiation, which allows them to hunt and navigate in the dark.

Puffins eat mostly small fish e.g. sand eels, herring, hake and Capella. A Puffin's diet varies from colony to colony because of the variety of fish around the breeding islands. During winter puffins also eat crustaceans, although they prefer to eat fish.

Ohio has only three species of venomous snakes, two of which have rattles at the end of the tail (Eastern Massauga (pictured right) & Timber Rattlesnake). The third species is the Northern copperhead. Although many believe the water moccasin occurs in Ohio, it actually ranges no farther north than the Dismal Swamp in southeastern Virginia in the eastern portion of its range, and extreme southern Indiana and Illinois, in the western part of its range. Water moccasins are not native to Ohio.

The Gaboon viper (Bitis gabonica) is known for having some of the longest fangs in the snake world, reaching up to 2 inches in length. These fangs are used to inject potent venom into their prey, primarily small mammals.

Viperfish are deep-sea creatures found in the mesopelagic and bathypelagic zones, typically at depths of 900 to 4,900 feet. They inhabit oceans worldwide, often in areas with low light levels where they can use their bioluminescent abilities to attract prey. Viperfish are adapted to the cold, dark conditions of the deep sea and have specialized features such as long teeth and a hinged stomach to help them survive in their habitat.

The snake with a hood behind its head is the cobra. This hood can expand when the cobra feels threatened or is about to strike, displaying its distinctive markings and warning potential threats.

Western blind snakes primarily feed on termites, ant larvae, and other small insects. They are specialized feeders with a diet focused on soft-bodied invertebrates found in soil and leaf litter. Due to their subterranean lifestyle and reduced eyesight, they rely heavily on their sense of smell to locate prey.

Snakes have a wide range of lifespans depending on the species, but most commonly live between 10-30 years in the wild. Some species, like the ball python or corn snake, can live into their 30s or 40s in captivity with proper care. Bowhead snakes have been known to live over 100 years.

Beauty snakes are carnivorous and primarily feed on small mammals, birds, and other reptiles in the wild. In captivity, they can be fed a diet of appropriately sized rodents such as mice and rats, as well as occasional chicks or quail. It is important to provide a varied diet to ensure they receive proper nutrition.

Yes, snakes have scales covering their body. These scales serve multiple purposes, including providing protection, aiding in movement, and helping regulate the snake's body temperature.

Snakes have smooth, dry scales that feel cool to the touch. Their scales are not slimy or wet like some people might expect. When touched, snakes may feel firm and smooth, resembling the texture of leather.

Reptiles have something called 'passive limbisossis'. That means that they develop natural immunity to their own venom an the venom of other snakes of the same species. Some snakes such as the California Kingsnake are even immune to other snake venom's, since venomous snakes are a part of their diet.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaconda_Plan The Anaconda Plan is the name widely applied to an outline strategy for subduing the seceding states in the American Civil War. Proposed by General-in-Chief Winfield Scott, the plan emphasized the blockade of the Southern ports, and called for an advance down the Mississippi River to cut the South in two. Because the blockade would be rather passive, it was widely derided by the vociferous faction who wanted a more vigorous prosecution of the war, and who likened it to the coils of an anaconda suffocating its victim. The snake image caught on, giving the proposal its popular name.

not all snakes constrict their prey. there are two groups of snakes. the ones who constrict, or strangle their prey, and there are ones who use their venom and bite the prey. but no, there is not a snake that uses venom and constricts their prey. either they have sharp teeth with venom or very strong muscles.
