Snakes

Snakes like sidewinders often sleep, including hibernation, in communities. There is safety in numbers and they share body heat on the cold desert nights.

Over 600 species are known to be venomous-about a quarter of all snake species.

No one knows exactly how many types of snakes there are in Africa, but it is known that many of these types are highly venomous. This includes the black mamba, puff adder, and Gaboon viper.

The saw-scaled viper (Echis carinatus) is responsible for causing the most human deaths due to snake bites worldwide. This snake is found in parts of Africa, the Middle East, and the Indian subcontinent.

Although there are several species of non-venemous snakes that hibernate during Maine's long, cold winter months, the garter snake actually benefits from this act. According the the Web site of Gartersnake.info, "Hibernation in reptiles is called brumation." Basically, the reptile is not living off fat reserves like mammals do. Instead the reptile's metabolism slows down so much that it uses very little energy during the winter. It is somewhat awake and active, but due to the cold and its slowed metabolism, it does not lose any substantial amount of weight during the winter.

Rabbits do not typically attract snakes because they are not a natural food source for most snake species. Snakes are more likely to be attracted to areas with abundant prey such as rodents, birds, and insects. However, snakes may still pose a threat to pet rabbits in outdoor enclosures, so it's important to take precautions to keep both animals safe.

a boyaconstrictor can suffocate its prey sorry if i didn't spell it right!! =) lol

The green pit viper, also known as Trimeresurus albolabris, is a venomous snake found in Southeast Asia. It is named for its striking green coloration and triangular head. It primarily feeds on small mammals, birds, and lizards.

None, there are no poisonous snakes. There are venomous snakes but not poisonous. The difference is the poison is usually on the skin of an animal like a frog, and you touch the poison and then get hurt. Venom is emitted by fangs or spikes into your skin or a body part and injected into you. There are no poisonous snakes.

There are the constrictors, which include the boa family and the python family. The venemous snakes such as cobras and rattle snakes. The non venomous snakes like garter snakes, king snakes, and the rat snake.

Snakes like warmth but they also are very private creatures who don't come out in the day much. they sometimes sun themselves, especially rattlers, as i can attest having grown up in California around rattlers my whole life. they generally wait till dusk though and come out to eat small animals that also forage at dusk. many snakes do swim as well and in the summer, when the water is warmer you may see one in the water and they sometimes smell like poo.

In Umbria, Italy, the most venomous snakes are the European adder (Vipera berus) and the nose-horned viper (Vipera ammodytes). Both species have venom that can be harmful to humans and caution should be taken when encountering them in the wild.

A snake's spine typically runs the length of its body, consisting of numerous vertebrae that provide flexibility for movement and support for the organs. The number of vertebrae can vary depending on the species, with some snakes having over 300 vertebrae in their spine.

The Eastern Coral Snake (Micrurus fulvius) is considered the second most venomous snake in the United States after the Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake. Its venom is highly potent but the snake is shy and rarely bites humans.

If a human is bit by a venomous snake, the person can die, but only if s/he doesn't get medicine from a hospital. What's interesting about the anti-venom is that it is made of the venom itself!

Snakes do not breathe carbon dioxide; instead, they inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide like most other animals. Snakes use their lungs to exchange gases during respiration.

There are several species of snakes that live in salt water. Some of these include the olive sea snake, the blue-lipped sea krait, as well as the yellow-lipped sea krait.

== == The Adder, or common viper, is the only venomous snake (or indeed reptile) native to the UK. This BBC website has more infomation. http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/wildfacts/factfiles/279.shtml

Yes, many species of snakes, such as king snakes and rat snakes, do eat eggs. They may consume bird eggs or reptile eggs depending on their habitat and diet. Snakes have specialized jaws that allow them to swallow eggs whole.

Anywhere from 100- 250 depending on the species ! Take an average Boa constrictor... newly-hatched specimens may shed every six weeks - that's eight times in its first year alone. They live an average of 40 years - so you can 'guestimate' around 200 sheds over its lifetime.

No, snakes cannot produce diamonds by conserving their venom or poison. This is a myth and not scientifically supported. Diamond formation requires specific geological conditions deep within the Earth's mantle, a process that has nothing to do with snake venom or poison.

depends on the what type of snake it is. well most snakes r 3 to 4 feet but king cobras can get to 16 feet

Instead of taste buds, snakes have a set of small openings on the roof of their mouths that have olfactory nerve endings, where a snake can smell-taste a prey animal or another snake or lizard. The ends of the forked tongue fit into grooves of the Jaconbson's Organ which is where the scent particles are processed.

A snake cable, also known as a multicore cable, is a single cable that houses multiple individual cables within it. It is commonly used in audio applications to carry multiple audio signals between different pieces of equipment, reducing cable clutter and simplifying setup.
