Snakes

If a snake tries to swallow an animal that is too large to fit down its throat, it will choke. There have been snakes found who choked to death when they could not swallow the animal they had tried to eat. One really large python tried to eat a person. It killed the man, but choked when the man's shoulders got stuck in its throat.

Snakes do not have eyelids like mammals, so they cannot physically close their eyes. Instead, their eyes are protected by a transparent scale called a spectacle, which covers and lubricates the eye to keep it moist and prevent damage.

Snakes in the rainforest can be found in various layers, depending on the species. Some snakes, such as tree boas, may live in the canopy layer, while others, like anacondas, prefer the forest floor. Additionally, some snakes may inhabit the understory or shrub layer of the rainforest.

Depending on the size and species, a female snake can lay between tens and thousands of eggs in its lifetime. Pit vipers bear live young, and have comparatively fewer than oviparous (egg-laying) species.

Yes, sea snakes and crates. There are dozens of species and they live in tropical waters. They contain venom more toxic then their main land cousins, the cobras, since they have to kill fish very quickly. But they are extremely docile snakes and it takes a lot for them to bite you.

A snake dog- a half snake, half dog. It might be the real form of ANUBIS- the Egyptian gatekeeper to the underworld. I saw such a creature during a lucid dream. I reached out to touch it's head as it was looking through my window. It instantaneously wrapped itself around me, and I was in it's grip- paralyzed. I woke up and tried to go to sleep when it happened again. Only this time, I saw the world of lost souls. I woke up and told my wife that I might die soon- That I got a warning. I was distinctly told to stay close to the light. I broke my neck a week later (I was temporarily a quadriplegic) and smashed all the bones in my face. I nearly died on the operating table- the doctors could not clear my airway and insert a breathing tube. I also tore my right vertebral artery in my neck. My accident happened in the Kingdom of Tonga, in the South Pacific. This is a true story.

Snakes use various methods to attract their prey, such as ambush hunting by remaining still and camouflaged until prey comes close enough to strike, or using pheromones to lure prey towards them. Some snakes may also use movement or vibrations to mimic prey or create a visual distraction that draws prey closer.

Corn snakes do not intentionally poop on a specific person. It could be a coincidence or related to factors such as handling frequency, stress levels, or feeding schedule. Ensuring proper husbandry, handling with care, and monitoring the snake's behavior can help address this issue.

The striking distance for a snake can vary depending on the species, but on average it is around half to two-thirds of the snake's body length. This distance allows the snake to accurately strike and capture its prey without having to move too far.

Any living thing can suffocate. If the ability to breath or the lack or air occurs then it is very possible to suffocate and die.

Dreaming of a pregnant snake may suggest creative energy or transformation in your life. The presence of multiple snakes could symbolize hidden fears or challenges you are facing. It may be a sign to confront and address these issues to move forward positively.

No it is not.

The above is misleading. It is illegal to kill any kind of snake (including the poisonous copperhead and rattlesnake) in Maryland without a permit from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR).

The short answer is - Evolution ! Snakes and lizards evolved from the same branch of the animal kingdom. However - over successive generations, they lost their limbs. Pythons still retail the remains of their hind legs - in the form of two 'spurs' visible near the vent on their belly.

It's the same reason we humans lost our tail - evolution got rid of it because it was redundant. The remains of our tail is the coccyx - the fused bony section at the bottom of the spine.

The largest snakes on Earth are the reticulated python (Python reticulatus) and the green anaconda (Eunectes murinus). They can both grow to lengths exceeding 20 feet and weigh several hundred pounds.

Sailfish display cooperation while hunting, sometimes joining dozens of other sailfish as they try to catch prey. The hunting sailfish communicate with one other during the hunt by changing their colors.

Snake fangs can vary in length depending on the species. On average, they can range from a few millimeters to around 2 inches long. Venomous snakes typically have longer fangs compared to non-venomous species.

Nonpoisonous snakes swim by moving their bodies in a wave-like motion, propelling themselves through the water. They use their muscular bodies and flattened tails to push against the water, enabling them to glide smoothly through aquatic environments. Additionally, they may also use their scales to create friction against the water, aiding in their propulsion.

Snake bites are a type of facial piercing that involve two symmetrical piercings below the bottom lip. Whether or not they would look good on you is subjective and depends on your personal style, features, and preference. It's important to carefully consider the potential pain, healing process, and long-term impact before getting any piercing.

brown snakes get to about 1.5 metres long so an adult brown snake gets to about that long. I'm not completely sure though.

In most cases, a rat snake bite is not deadly to dogs as rat snakes are nonvenomous. However, the bite can cause pain, swelling, and irritation. It is still important to monitor the dog for any signs of infection and seek veterinary attention if necessary.

It is unlikely that a rat snake would kill a dog with its bite. Rat snakes are non-venomous and typically only bite as a defensive behavior when threatened. A dog may experience some pain and swelling from a rat snake bite, but it is unlikely to be fatal.

Yes, corn snakes are non venomous snakes. They are often mistaken for copper heads and rattle snakes because of their saddle-backed pattern and their ability to vibrate their tails, so that it sounds like rattling. But they are harmless and usually docile.

- It gains extra heat by basking in sunlight

- When temperatures become very low it hibernates in a sheltered place during prolonged cold periods.

- They hibernate during winter also to enable them to survive the surrounding cold. Hibernating causes the metabolic rate to drop which causes the body temperature to drop in warm conditions, there heart beat slows down and there breathing rate drops

- When temperatures rise, the brown snake shelters in shade under logs and is active only in cooler parts of the day, such as the evening.

- They are usually active during the day but when it is very hot they become nocturnal and their active periods are at night.

Mean as a rattlesnake.

Venum cant exactly be removed from a snake permantantly, because it is patrt of there blood type and they cannot purify there blood. Although some scientists have done it before, in nearly 2-3 years the venum transformed through another animal to the snake. This may alos depend on the snake, such as a rattling snake< the venunm can be removed but it comes back over time from another animal.You many think venom can poison a snake... but it doesnt! As long as it comes from the same origin or breed of a snake, there own venom cant be poisoness.
