A boomslang is a venomous snake native to sub-Saharan Africa. It is known for its large eyes and back-fanged teeth that can deliver a potent haemotoxic venom. Boomslangs are arboreal snakes, meaning they are primarily found in trees.
yes Utah has 31 different kinds of snakes. Only seven of the thirty one different kinds of snakes in Utah are venomous. The sidewinder and speckled rattlesnake are two of the more common poisonous snakes in that area.
Are there any snakes in Utah in the winter time?
Nope, they all go to Idaho... here's your sign.
Snakes and many other reptiles find shelter in holes or burrows, and spend the winter inactive, or dormant. This is similar to hibernation.
Snakes crawl into caves, hollow logs, or other animal's burrows to hibernate. Sometimes there will be as many as a hundred snakes in one cave. (A group site is called a hibernaculum)
Snakes may also hibernate in any area free from frost and can be found in narrow crevices in rocks, animal burrows, holes under trees and stumps, under wood piles, and occasionally in basements.
During the first warm days of spring snakes emerge from their dens and begin sunning. After temperatures consistently stay above freezing snakes will begin searching for food and move gradually to their summer range and birthing areas. These movements can be as far away as five miles or as short as a 1/4 mile.
In the fall, snakes move back to the previous year's den. If a sudden cold snap catches them they may either die or be fortunate and find a suitable secondary den. They usually do not stay long at the den entrance, but hurry in for the long winter sleep.
A number of species may share the same den. For example, black rat snakes, timber rattlesnakes and copperheads commonly den together. In fact, the black rat snake was formerly called the pilot black snake because it was believed that this snake "piloted" the way out of the den in the spring for the rattlesnake.

No. Mongoose will not eat a snake. But some snakes eat mongoose.
well snakes are creations by god and are slithering creatures, there are 3 groups of snakes, venomous, nonvenomous, and constrictors. venomous snakes are snakes that are deadly so you do not want to get near them, how you can tell the snake is venomous you can look at it head shape, if its a triangle its a venomous or a constrictor. it will have a round head if its a nonvenomous. constrictors are snakes that will squeeze and choke you then eat you. lucky for us they are mostly inAfrica. if you were to FUD a snake its most likely to be nonvenomous. P.S. if you live in the south west in America and you hear a rattle? RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! P.S.S. cause that's a rattlesnake (very deadly).
BE,VERY CAREFUL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Which snakes can squeeze a person?
Large constrictor snakes like pythons and boas are capable of squeezing a person with enough force to suffocate them. It's important to remember that these snakes typically only do this in a defensive or predatory response, and not all snakes are capable of squeezing with enough force to harm a person.

Submitted by seesaw81297KINGSNAKE FACTS:
Kingsnakes are from the Colubridae family of snakes, the largest family in the serpetine order. Colubrids include about 75% of known snake species. They are loosely defined as "harmless snakes" and are typically slender bodied snakes without a pelvic girdle (like boas and pythons) and without fangs or venom. Although, some species have longer rear teeth with grooves somewhat like fangs, and others with Duvernoy glands have been found to have highly toxic venom. Which Kingsnakes have neither. Kingsnakes scientific name is Lampropeltis, (broken down is Lampro = radiant or shiny, and peltis = small shield) after how small and shiny their scales appear. They comprise of 8 species (Alterna, Calligaster, Getula, Mexicanna, Pyromelana, Ruthven, Triangulum, and Zonata) and 48 subspecies (not including probematic ones). Kingsnakes are separated from other colubrids as having smooth, shiny scales with 2 apical pits on the dorsal scales, which are arranged in 17-27 rows. They also have also have a single anal plate.
Kingsnakes range anywhere from southern Canada to northern South America. They come in a wide variety of colors ranging from all black, as with the Mexican Black Kingsnake, to red, yellow and black bands as with the Scarlet Kingsnake and most Milk Snakes. It's thought that the colorations on some kingsnakes is a mimic of local venomous species of snakes. The most common mimic is of the coral snake with black, yellow and red bands. Another example is with the Greyband Kingsnake which seems to mimic the coloration of the Rock Rattlesnake. It's thought they use these mimics for self defense from other predators who would leave them alone thinking they're the venomous specie. Another defenses the Kingsnakes use, is to rattle their tails. The belief of why they do this, is to mimic a rattle snake sound while they're in leaf clutter. My Albino California Kingsnake rattles her tail every time I try to pick her up, so it's not hard to imagine walking up on a hidden kingsnake rattling it's tail and maybe just leaving it be because it MIGHT be a rattlesnake. Yet another defensive ploy they use is to musk (somewhat like a skunk but not near as bad).
Kingsnakes get their name because of the fact they eat other snakes. They are thought to be immune to the venom of some viper species, such as rattlesnakes, and copperheads. It is known that they will eat these snakes if given the chance. Rattle snakes have been shown to have a unique defensive behavior used only when confronted with a Kingsnake, and don't use when confronted with other possible predators.. Other things a kingsnake will eat include small mammals and rodents, small reptiles, and amphibians, birds and eggs. Kingsnakes are a fairly active snake compared to alot of python and boa species. They seem to like climbing and digging while in captivity, and roaming their tanks when their hungry. Most kingsnakes are terrestrial in nature and spend most of they're time hiding under rocks, logs or stumps.They're natural habitats range from marshes and swamps to desert and mountainous regions.
Kingsnakes are one of the most widely collected specie of snake in the Herping community. The reasons for this, I think, is because they do very well in captivity and require very little compared to many other types of herps. They will do well with a diet of just mice for their entire lives and don't require real specific humidity levels. Another reason I think they're a popular specie to keep, is they won't turn into monsters like alot of pythons or boas do. They stay at a very managable size, ranging from 2-6 feet long. They also come in a very wide variety of colors, giving you alot more variety to choose from. So good luck with your kingsnake and happy herping!!!!!!!

How do you convince people that snakes are not bad?
The short answer is - education ! Even I thought they were 'bad' when I was younger. However - after a little research, and pestering a few reptile shops to let me handle some I bought my first snake (a Royal Python) - Over 25 years later I now have a collection of over 400 reptiles from the very small - to absolutely huge !
It appears that my snake has a mouse stuck in its throat what should you do?
Do not attempt to remove the mouse yourself as it may cause further harm to your snake. Immediately bring your snake to a reptile veterinarian for proper assessment and treatment. A veterinarian will be able to safely and effectively remove the mouse from your snake's throat.
Can you make a poisonous snake non-poisonous?
No, it is not possible to make a poisonous snake non-poisonous. The venom-producing glands in the snake are a natural adaptation for hunting and defense, and removing them would harm the snake's overall health and survival. It is best to avoid handling or interacting with poisonous snakes to prevent any potential harm.
