yes they are very awsome and nice
Many snakes have a docile demeanor to them, but they are still wild animals and will always be wild animals. I love the snakes that are in my care, but I do not trust them and I understand that they feel no emotion. This is not to say that they do not feel pain as they have nerves I'm sure they do, but as far as loving and recognizing me goes I know that they don't. Snakes are very interesting animals and if you can stand being bitten a few times get one as a pet. Most bites feel like little pinches and there may be a couple drops of blood but nothing compared to that a of a mangy cat or dog.
What color is the inland taipan?
The Inland Taipan is dark tan, ranging from a rich, dark hue to a brownish olive-green, depending on season. Its back, sides and tail may be different shades of brown and grey, with many scales having a wide blackish edge. These dark-marked scales occur in diagonal rows so that the marks align to form broken chevrons of variable length that are inclined backward and downward. The lowermost lateral scales often have an anterior yellow edge. The dorsal scales are smooth and without keels. The round-snouted head and neck are usually noticeably darker than the body (glossy black in winter, dark brown in summer), the darker colour allowing the snake to heat itself while only exposing a smaller portion of the body at the burrow entrance. The eye is of average size with a blackish brown iris and without a noticeable coloured rim around the pupil. It has twenty-three rows of mid-body scales, between fifty-five and seventy divided subcaudal scales, and one anal scale. The Inland Taipan averages approximately one metre eighty (six feet) in length, although larger specimens can reach lengths of two meters (six feet eight inches).
