Snakes

Nagine pronounced nag-ee-n-e is the name of Voldemort's pet snake.

All snakes are non-poisonous but there are venomous snakes as well as snakes that are non-venomous. Rat snakes, gopher snakes, king snakes, garter snakes and boas and pythons are some examples of non-venomous snakes.

There are over 3,000 species of snakes, belonging to families such as pythons, boas, vipers, cobras, and colubrids. They vary in size, color, habitat, and behavior, ranging from the tiny thread snake to the massive anaconda.

Yes, mongooses are known to eat snakes as part of their diet. They are skilled hunters and have developed the ability to take down venomous snakes by using their agility and speed to avoid being bitten.

Moccasins are little shoes, originally made from deer skin and worn by the Native Americans. Now, people use moccasins for slippers, and can be bought at you local shoe store. Of course, they are made from artificial deer skin now.

It all depends on what type of snake you are interested in, most cost between $45-$100.

EDIT: In the UK - a typical corn snake complete set-up, including the young snake would cost around £250 ($375 USD) - That's for the wooden vivarium, heat & light sources, thermostat, substrate and other 'sundry' items...

Snakes cannot talk, therefore how can they have a lisp?

It can mean different things from a latin kings gang symbol or even represent the lion of judah taking on the snake which represents evil spirits. So what ever you take it as it what it means to you.

Although snakes have a variety of ways to protect themselves, probably the most common way to make rid of a predator is by biting. The feared "snake bite" however, is not the only of telling someone that they are unwanted. Secretory glands in the snakes lower abdominal area, (near the tail) rests liquid that not only has a putrid enough smell to void off other animals, but humans as well. It is a whitish yellow discharge that allows the snake to shake off unwanted visitors, especially predators, giving it a few seconds to escape to safety under a limb, behind a rock or possibly sneak into a crevasse or swamp.

Yes, they will, although some house plants are dangerous to their health. You would need to research each type of plant in your home for toxicity. Rats love to dig in dirt and will chew any greenery that they find.

Snakes are carnivores that primarily eat rodents, birds, eggs, and other small animals. The specific diet of a snake depends on its species and size, with some snakes feeding exclusively on certain prey items.

Normally, snakes kill their prey first by constriction, which usually stops the flow of blood to the brain, but assuming this was unsucessful or if the victim was not struggling and just swallowed, then probably lack of oxygen inside the snake would kill the victim in less than 10 minutes. If oxygen were provided to the human victim, then the stomach acid, depending on the size and breed of snake, would kill the prey probably within 6 - 8 hours by interference with the functioning of vital organs, esp. automatic respiration. Very likely, shock would cause death prior to this. RAA, former zoo worker

The description you provided matches that of the red-bellied black snake, which is a highly venomous species native to Australia. It is important to exercise caution and maintain a safe distance if you encounter one in the wild.

Snake populations are generally decreasing due to habitat loss, loss of prey, and killing by humans. For specific species in the USA, check with your state fish and wildlife agency, or with the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Countries other than the US often have conservation programs, research studies, and educational efforts directed toward the protection and conservation of snakes.

Snakes primarily hunt and capture their prey by using their keen sense of smell and special heat-sensing organs to detect potential meals. Once a snake identifies a target, it strikes quickly with its fangs to inject venom or constricts the prey to subdue it before swallowing it whole. Some snakes may also scavenge for food if the opportunity arises.

Milk snakes typically live for about 12-20 years in captivity, depending on factors such as diet, habitat, and overall care. In the wild, their lifespan may be slightly shorter due to environmental challenges and predation.

There are several types of pit vipers. An adult Mangshan pit viper will weigh between 6 pounds and 6 pounds 11 ounces. They can grow to be up to 7 feet in length.

there could be. Kingsnakes and milk snakes can have very similar markings to the coral snake. A true coral snake's habitat is in the southern region of the US. if there is any doubt...stay away.

The black mamba is the worlds fastest snake, and it slithers at 7mph

Northern water snakes are eaten by a variety of predators, including birds of prey such as hawks and owls, larger fish like bass and pike, snapping turtles, and mammals such as raccoons and mink. Their predators generally vary based on their habitat and size.

Some snakes lay eggs, while others give birth to live young. Newborn snakes are usually exact replicas of their parents, sometimes more brightly colored, and obviously very tiny. A 1 meter (about 3 feet) long snake's young may only be 120mm (about 5 inches) long. Newborn snakes are born fully developed, and are on their own immediately. As tiny versions of their parents, they can be very cute. Venemous newborn snakes, though, are fully capable of delivering a venemous bite.

Hi my name is Brett. I do not know if all antivenom is made this way. But apparently for snake antivenom it is. First they will milk the snake for its venom then inject small dosages of the venom into a horse or goat. The Horse will build up antibodies to the venom until it is almost immune to it. The antibodies are then extracted from the blood of the horse and purified into a serum. This is just a broad description of what the process is.

Young moccasins are light colored and may have a yellow tail-tip, but adults are very dark, ranging from gray or brown to black. They have some banding, but many cottonmouth snakes look completely black.

king snakes look very similar to coral snakes. king snakes are not venomous but the coral snake is a very poisonous snake. the king snake wants to confuse preditors into thinking it is a dangerous king snake so that they will leave it alone.
