Snake Report
All species of snake are all carnivores that means that they only eat meat and that also
means that they eat other animals. The type of animals that a snake will eat is mice,
birds, frogs, and they can also eat worms to, the bigger species of snakes will normally
eat goats and really small deer. Snakes can't chew their food so that means that they
swallow their food whole. These animals have really powerful muscles that can easily
push down the food very slowly down to the snake’s stomach. The other foods that they
will eat are rodents, mammals, reptiles, fish, amphibians, insects and they can also eat
eggs. There are some snakes like the cobra, viper, and the rattlesnake which are known
to be venomous and they will also kill their prey. They will kill their prey by forcing
theirpoison to come through their hollow fangs. There are other snakes like the boa and
the anaconda will kill their prey by squeezing them to death. Snakes do not even bite
the food and cut into really small pieces they just shallow it whole. There are some
snakes that will normally catch their food and just swallow it. The other food that a
snake will try to catch are rats, mice and other vermin all of these food sounds really
tasty to a snake. If snakes were not around then we will have these rodents running all
over the place. There are some species of snakes that will eat eggs, frogs and they can
also eat insects to. There are a lot of snakes that can even swallow a really big animal.
They will also swallow animals that can be as big as they are. This will also mean the
really big species of snakes can swallow really big animals. There was one record book
about an African rock python that can weight about no more than (140 pounds). This
python has swallowed an animal that weighted about 130 pounds. There are some
snakes that are hunters and there other snakes rather ambush their prey. These animals
are known to be really sneaky and they will try to tick their prey so that they can come
to them. Like they cantellif a snake they hasan bright yellow tip that can located on
their tails it looks like a worm. The snakes that live in desert habitats they will usually hide
under the sand so that they can wait for any prey to come their way. The smallest
snake is the Threat snake they will eat the eggs of ants and centipedes. The biggest
snakes which are the Python and Anacondas. These snakes have been known to eat
deer and pig. There are other snakes that will usually eat insects, rodents, birds, eggs,
fish, frogs, lizards and they can also eat small mammals. Every species of snake all have
to swallow their food whole. Even through that these animals cannot chew or bite it
does not mean that they do not have teeth. They will usually use their teeth for
grabbing, hooking and holding on to their prey. The Constrictors will usually grab and
hold their prey then they will start to wrap themselves around the prey and then they
will slowly tight in their coils then they will continue to squeeze every single breathe that
their prey has and they will not stop squeezing the prey until the animal and their heart
stops breathing. The snakes that are known to be venomousare cobras, Vipers and
Rattlesnakes they will usually paralyze their prey by using their fangs to sink into the prey
before they swallow the prey. Lots of people have always wondered how a snake can
swallow a big animal without chewing it first. Snakes have really powerful muscles that
are found right in front of the half side of their bodies. Snakes will use these muscles to
help them to move when they are swallowing. This is how this is done. First the muscles
will the food right down to their throat and then it will go down their very long stomach.
It can take a snake 10 minutes in a hour to move the food through the throat and into
the stomach. It really depends on the size of the snake. The snakes that will mostly eat
eggsthat have really sharp rib bones that can help the snake to poke into the eggshell
so that it can help the snake so that the digitation can go down very fast. The food that
goes into the snake’s stomach will take about a few days in a month so that they can
break up the digest. That can take a very long time for them to eat the meal. There are
some snakes that can only eat about a couple times in a year. Snakes will eat so many
different types of foods that will also include termites, rodents, birds, frogs, small deer,
and they can also eat other reptiles. Snakes never chew their food they will just swallow
it whole. They can even eat a animal that can be three times bigger than the size of
their head that is because they have a lower jaw that is separate from their upper jaw.
So that their prey does not escape from them. They can hold on to their prey by using
their rear-facing teeth so that they can have enoughstrength for holding onto the
animal. The snakes that are poisonous they will usually drive their prey into venom;the
constrictors will usually squeeze their prey really hard so that they can stop the prey
from breathing and their heart. These animals do not usually hunt every day. An
anaconda and the pythons can go for a year without any food after they are done
with their very long meal. There are some snakes that will usually hunt when it gets dark.
All different types of snake have their often very special diets. There are some snakes
that rather eat worms and other insects and there are other snakes that will normally
eat eggs or snails. Snakes prey on all different types of animals like mammals, birds,
reptiles, fish, amphibians, very big invertebrate and they can also eat other snakes to.
There are so many different types of snakes on this planet like the snakes that are
poisonous and the constrictors. The constrictors will usually wait really patiently for any
prey to come by so that they can grab it and then they will wrap themselves really fast
around the prey and they will start to squeeze the animal really hard so that they can
kill the prey by making it stop breathing and by stopping its heart. When the dead
animal no longer breathing then this will be the time when the snake swallows it whole.
They will have to swallow their food whole because their teeth are not made for
chewing. The snakes that are poisonous will usually take a strenuous approach. They will
do this by using their fangs to kill the prey and then they will sit and wait for the prey to
die. These animals will only attack when they are hungry. Snakes have a flicked forked
tongue that can help the snake to pick up any scent that can be in that area. When
the tip that is on the tongue touches the Jacobson's organ and then the snake will be
able to find where the smell is coming from. If they scent any sign of food than the
snake will start to stay really till and they will be ready to attack the prey. All species of
snake all can swallow their food. There are other snakes that can kill their prey really first
before they swallow it. There are others that do not kill their prey like that. There are a lot
of snakes that can easily kill an animal that can be much bigger than their own head
that is because they have an rigid jawbones that can be loosely connected and they
will start to thus so that they can grow even bigger. The body of an snake can also be
really bigger thantheir own prey that they catch. Snakes can be found on every
continent in the world but they do not live in Antarctica. They can also live on every
habitat to but they do not live in areas that are really cold. Snakes do not just live under
the ground. The other places that snakes can be found are in rivers, lakes and even in
oceans. There are a lot of snakes that live in trees and there are some species that live
in Southeast Asia over there these snakes will usually glide through the air. The dull colors
and the patterns on their body help the snake to disguise themselves in the sand. The
snakes that have really bright colors they will usually hide in really lush tropical forest.
Snakes live all over the world. There are a lot of different types of snakes that live in
really warm places that are near the equator so that it will be warm enough for them to
survive. In really cold places that is where snakes usually hibernate and they will usually
fall sleep under the ground and they will have to stay under the ground for all the winter
months so that they do not freeze to death. There are some species of snake that can
be found on land some may live in trees, some snakes can live under the ground and
there are others that live in the water. Snakes can be found on every place in the world
but they do not live in really cold areas like Antarctica, Iceland, Ireland, and Greenland
and also you can't find snakes in New Zealand either. There are lots of species of snake
that can also be found in tropical areas to. Snakes can also be found on all different
types of habitats like they can live in places that have water, forests, deserts and they
can also live on the prairie. Snakes live on so many different land and water habitats.
The snakes that live in tropical rainforests are known to be really big. Snakes can be
found on every continentin the world but they do not live in Antarctica. There are some
places where snakes cannot be found and those places are Hawaii, Iceland, Ireland
and they can also be found in New Zealand. All snakes like to live in really hot places
because if they get to cold then they will not be able to move. Snakes do not like to live
in places that are known to have polar regions . There are some snakes that can be
found in tropical and in temperate places that can be found on every place in the
world but they do not live inPolar Regions like Antarctica. Snakes can survive lots of
habitats and those places will be in temperate forests, tropical jungle, grasslands,
deserts, swamps. They can also be found in oceans to. The only places where they are
not found are in polar habitats. The smallest snake in the world is called the thread
snake these snakes are as small as a pencil. They can bebig as 4 inches (10.2
centimeters) long and they can weigh less then (28.3 grams). The biggest snake in the
world is the Reticulated python they can grow about 20 feet (6.1 meters) or they can
even grow even longer. The size of a snake depends on what type of snake. There are
some snakes that can be big as 30 feet long. The reticulated python this snake is known
to be really big the threat snake is known as the smallest species of snake. A length for
the threat snake is in a length. The green anaconda is not really the biggest snake in the
world but they are known to be the heaviest of all the snake species and they can
grow about 550 pounds. The reticulated python can grow about 32 feet long. The
length of a reticulated python is about 33 feet (10.5 meters). The shortest snake in the
world which is the threat snake and their length is 4.5 inches (11 centimeters). The green
anaconda can weigh about 500 pounds (227 kilograms). The size an average snake is
13 cm (5 inches) that can be over 11 m (36 ft) in a length. There are some snakes that
can length about 36 feet (11 meters). The anaconda can grow about 38 feet that is in
a length and the blind snake which is known to be the one of the smallest snakes in the
world and it can grow about 2 inches long. There are some species of snake that can
live for 10 to 40 years it really depends on the size of the snake to live this long. When
they are in captivity then they get to live about 50 years. It is really hard to determine
the life span of asnake that is out in the wild. There are some species of snake that can
live for 40 years. On a snakes skin there are pieces that are on their skin that can be
really hard that is called scales. Snakes have scales because it helps them to hold onto
the ground better. The muscles that the scales have they will help the snake to move
around in their area. The sidewinder snake can move by throwing their body sideways.
There are some snakes in the world that are really good swimmers. Snakes will use their
very strong muscles so that they can move in a different direction. There are so many
snakes that can move forward in a straight line and they can do this by gripping to the
ground as they travel. There are other snakes that can also bunch their bodies together
and then they will be able to straighten them out and then they will start to move
forward that is called bunching. There are some snake species that can move by
throwing and looping their bodies forward and over again. The snakes that live in
freshwater like the sea snakes they can use their muscles so that they can wiggle from
different sides sothey can glide through the water. The sea snakes have an paddle-
shaped tail that can help them to swim. Snakes only have four ways to move around in
their habitat. Instead on having legs they will use their muscles and they will also use
their scales to help them to get around. The first way that they will get around is called
the Serpentine method. This is a type of motion that lots of people think about snakes.
This is when the snakes are pushing themselves off of the bump of the other surface of
rocks, trees and etc. These reptiles can move in a really wavy motion. Then when this
happens then the snake will not be able to move over a slick surface like glass. There is
another name for this movement and it is called the lateral undulation. The movement
that they do is called the Concertina method. This one is way to hard for a snake to
move because this will effect on their really tight spaces. Then the snake will start to
brace when they are on their back portion that can be found on their bodies this can
help them to push and extend into the front portion. Then that will be the time when the
snake will start to drop to the front portion that can be found on their body and that
can be straight then they will start to pull to their back portion along. This is just like them
almost throwing themselves forward. The other movement that they will do is called the
sidewinding this is a really hard motion to describe but there are a lot of snakes that use
this alone. They will use this movement on loose or on slippery different types of surfaces
like on sand and on mud. Snakes will usually throw their heads forward and then they
will do the rest of the body when the head is being thrown forward. The last movement
that a snake does is called the rectilinear Method. This type of movement is a really slow
and straight movement to do this the snake will have to use some of their scales that
can be found on their belly so that they can grip to the ground and then that will be
the time when they are being pushed forward with the other snakes. Snakes will usually
use their senses for hunting, to escape from any predator and also to find a good mate.
There are some snakes that have a really good eye sight and they can only use it to tell
the difference between light and dark, Even though there are some snakes that do not
have a really good eye sight and then they will use their other senses to help them
around. The other senses that they will have is sense of touch and their sense of smell
these are the types of senses that they will use if they do not have a really good eye
sight. Snakes may not have any noses but they do have nostrils that can help them to
breathe and they will usually use their tongues to smell what is around them. The way
that they smell what is around them then they will usually stick out their tongues so that
they can smell on what is going on around them. The moist that is on the tongue can
collect any scent any small organism that can be found whatever the tongue touches
that can be coming from the air that can be surrounding the snake. By the time the
tongue goes back to the mouth then the fork will start to touch a really special sensory
organ and this is called the Jacobson's organ that can be found on the hook of the
snake’s mouth and that can tell what the snake smells by the Jacobson's organ. On the
snakes lips there is an small notch that can be found right on their lips and that is how
these animals can stick out their tongue instead on opening their mouths. Snakes will
usually absorb the vibration that can be coming from the ground and the size of their
prey or if there is any danger that they will have to face then they can tell how the
animal is moving and where the danger is coming from. The snakes will usually flick
their tongue in and out and it continues on. Then when the tongue is doing that then it
will start to bring the air into the snake’s mouth. The places that are found in the snake’s
mouth are known for testing the air then that will tell the snakes brain what is in the air.
Snakes have an really good sense of smell, but they are known not to be that great
through that is because of their nostrils that can go through the forked. Instead on
having a nose the snake will activity use their tongue to smell what is going on around
them. The tongue works by picking up any Microscopic particles that can be coming
from the air and it can also be coming from the ground to. They do this because it is
really forked for the tongue to pick up any scent that can be coming from more to one
direction that can be coming from nearby and they can smell what is going on in all
directions in between. They can use their sense of smell to look for food. Snakes may
have their eyes wide open but it does not mean that these animals can see well. Like
the gaboon viper their eyes can be found on both sides of their head and that means
that they cannot focus well enough. But these animals can see well when they are
moving around in their area that they are in. This is how the prey can easily escape from
a snake when they are standing still.There is no animal on earth that knows how to stare
then a snake does. One of the snake species that is really good at staring is the bush
viper. The reason why they are so good at staring because they have no eyelids so it
always looks like it is always staring. These animals will also stare when they are sleeping
to. Snakes are really known for having really good lenses that happens to be really clear
to a snake. These clear lenses are really spectacle this happens to be one of the
snake’s scales. This will help the snakes to protect their eyes when they are protecting
their eyes they will usually be protected under a shield. All over a snakes body is al
covered with scales. Snakes will usually use their scales to protect their armor if they did
not have this then it will be really hard for the snake to be able to move over really hot
or on really rough areas like on a tree bark, rocks, and on really hot desert sand. A
snake scales and are also known to be waterproof and this helps them to get the water
out of their scales this goes to the snakes that usually live in water locations. Snakes
have really rough belly scales that can help the snake to keep their grip when they are
going through really hard branches and then they will be able to push the surfaces
when they really have to move. The scales that are on a snake all have layers of cells.
All of these cells are all stacked on each other. The outer cells are used for dead or to
protect the living ones that can be found under them. In every few times in a year a
snake will start to shed their dead skin. The cells that can be found underneath.Then
they will be ready to take over the old skins place. When the snake is ready to have
their eyes shed then they will be really cloudy and they will become really blinded. They
will become blind because the snakes eyes don't have eyelids on them (this is also the
reason why these animals do not blink) but instead on blinking they will be covered with
really clear scales that are called spectacle' scales. When they are ready to shed their
old skin then they will start to rub against any rough surface like a rock so that they can
break the skin that can be close to their mouth and then they will start to slide right off
of them. It is just like taking over a sock. When a snake’s skin gets too small then they will
start to grow a whole new skin. To remove the skin the snake will start to rub on a rock so
that it can make a really small crack into the skin. The crack will start to get bigger. They
will start to get bigger when they start to crawl. Then that is how the old skin will start to
come off in really small pieces. The snake will remain to grow in all of its live. But the
outer skin does not last very long; they are also staring when they are sleeping to. These
snakes are known to have really good lens that are known to be really clear which are
really spectacle this is some of the scales that they have on their body. The spectacle
is used to protect their eyes when they go under the shield. A snake will only shed their
skin seven times in the first year. The skin will start to grow really fast. A snake that is really
old will normally shed their skin only once a year. When people think of snakes they think
of poison but not all species are known to be poisonous. There are about 2,700 snake
species that live on this planet. There are 400 species of snake that are known to be
poisonous and there are only a few of 50 snakes that are known to be really dangerous
to people. Usually the ones that are poison will activity try to avoid any contact with
humans. There are some poison snakes that don’t really get any close to a really big
human populated area. It is known for a fact that the biggest and the most dangerous
snakes will only cause a really few of human deaths that is because they are so used to
living in remote areas. The snakes that are known to be poison are the king cobra,
black mamba, taipan, bushmaster, eastern diamondback rattlesnake and the gaboon
viper; these are the snakes that are known to be poisonous. The snakes that are poison
will activity use venom this can help them to catch their prey. Poison snakes do not
need to spend hours wasting their good energy for squeezing their prey and they also
do not need to spend their time chasing it to. These snakes can catch their prey by
forcing of them their venom and then they will wait for the prey to come to it. There are
only 3,000 different types of snakes that live on this planet. There are also 400 different
types of poisonous snakes that are on this planet. there are only 50 of the poison snakes
that can be very deathly to people. The other species of snake are really known to be
timid and they can also attack a person if they get to close. There are a lot of snakes
that are oviparous this means that they lay eggs when they have babies and that will
hatch later on. So that means that the mother will have to protect the babies when
they are inside of the egg. A snake egg can be really tough and it also has leathers on
it to. The young snakes have a really hard time breaking out of the egg because it is so
strong. There are some species of snake that will lay eggs and there are others that will
give birth to live young it depends on the species. There are some species of snakes
that will lay eggs and there are others that will usually give birth to live young it depends
on the species. There are a lot of snakes that will lay 2 or 16 eggs that can be in a
clutch. Even through there are other species that will lay 50 or even more eggs. The
mother will start to sit on her eggs and then she will start to bury and wrapped them
around with their body. So that they can stay warm. There are some species in the
python group and the king cobra these snakes will protect their eggs by staying with
them to make sure that there are no other predator will come and try to eat them.
There are other species where they have to leave their eggs so that they can hatch but
the parents do not take care of them or even watch them. That is called an egg-laying
snake and they usually live in tropical areas that have an temperate climate. Snakes
will start to mate in the spring after hibernation is over and the cold climates are gone.
The mating process can happen at any time of the year. A male can attract a female
by fighting with other males that wants to get attention from her, but they do not fight
to kill each other they just fight for the better of it. There are some snakes like the boas,
rattlesnakes and the garter snakes they will activity give birth to live young. This means
that snake babies will normally grow inside of the mother’s stomach. The moment that
they are born then they will be covered with a thin membrane. It kind a looks like an
goopy baggie. Snakes have an egg tooth this can help them to break out of the
membrane so that they can wriggle themselves out of the egg. There are other snakes
that will lay their eggs in really safe and warm places like in a hollow log or maybe they
might even bury them under the ground. The difference between a snake egg and a
chicken egg is that the snake egg is not hard like a chicken egg is. It’s just that their
eggs have more leather then the chicken’s eggs are. The babies can easily break the
egg open with their tooth The Racer and the coral snakes will normally just lay their
eggs and leave them out on their own and the parents will never return to the eggs
again. When the babies start to come out of the eggs then in a few weeks later then
they will be out on their own so that they can hunt for food for themselves The king
Cobras and some other species that are in the python group the parents will normally
stay with their eggs and they will also keep them warm and so that they can protect
them when they hatch out of the egg. This behavior is called “brooding”, after the
moment that they are out of the eggs then the babies will be out on their own. The
snakes will start to lose their egg tooth right after they have hatched out of the eggs.
Snakes will normally reproduce in every once year so there are some snakes that can
produce in every 3 years. There are a lot of snake species that will lay eggs and there
are other species that will give birth to live young. Snakes will usually lay their eggs in
places that are really warm. There other species that will just lay their egg and have
their young but the parents will not take care of them. Snakes will usually mate in every
once year. After they are done mating which will take about two or three months then
that will be the time when the mothers will start to lay her eggs. She will place her eggs
in a place that is really warm and that is totally safe from predators that will try and eat
her eggs. By the time the eggs are ready to hatch then they will start to use a really
special tooth that happens to be really sharp and that is called an egg tooth. This can
help them to open the shells because the shells are mostly made out of leather. By the
time that they are out of the egg and now they are called hatchlings and then after
that then they will start their lives all by themselves. There are some other snakes that will
usually give birth to live young. These snakes will take like seven months to mate. Right
before the babies are born then the snakes will be in a casing. There is another word for
this to and that is called sacs. Snakes will leave their sacs really fast right over the babies
has been born out of the egg. Even these will be out on their own the moment that
they come out of the egg. There are a lot of snake species that will normally lay eggs.
There eggs happen to have leathers and these eggs totally do not have a hard shell
like a bird’s egg. The female will start to lay her eggs in a really good place to put her
eggs in. Then the female will start to leave the eggs all on their own and she will not wait
until the babies are out of the eggs. There are only a few python species that will usually
watch over their eggs. It will take the baby a few weeks for it to grow inside of the egg.
When the time has come for the eggs to come out of the egg. Then that will be the
time when the baby will start to clip their own way out of the egg and they can do this
by using a special tooth which is called the egg tooth. There are some snakes that do
not lay any eggs at all. Instead on laying hundreds of eggs in a nest or in a really warm
place. They will have their babies grow inside of the mother’s stomach. The babies will
usually hatch from eggs when they are still inside of the mother’s stomach. Then after
they are out of the eggs that are inside of her then she will start to give birth. These
snakes are called live bearers. The snakes that just been hatched out of the egg. Then
they kind a look a lot like adult snakes but in a miniature look. When the eggs have
been laid then that will be the time when the parents start to leave their babies all on
their own and the parents do not even protect them from danger. The babies do that
all on their own. So that means that the younger will have to find a really good place
and this location will have to be somewhere that is safe for them so that they can look
for food all on their own. On the snakes scales that is on their skin happens to be really
tough so that means it is really hard for snakes to stretch themselves. When the snake’s
starts to get older then that will be the time when the skin will start to get really tight.
Every single young snake must always be able to molt. The molt is oil that can be
spread all under their outer layer of the snake’s skin. The old skin that the snake had will
start to split and it will also start to slip off of the body in once piece at a time. Then after
the old skin is gone now it will be re-placed with an new and shiny skin that can be
found underneath them. There are only a few species of snake that are living in their
national habitats today. The reason why there is only a few that are living on their
habitats is that because there are a lot of people that are starting to move on to areas
where snakes used to live on. That means that their land is being cleared out and
people are also cutting down trees so that they can make lumber out of the wood that
the trees have. Snakes are not the only animals that are only living in this threat also
There are so many other animals on this planet that are starting to feel the threat that
snakes are facing right now to. Another threat that snakes will face is that there are a lot
of people that are killing them for their amazing skins. The reason why they are killing the
snakes for their skin because so that they can use it to make so many different items out
of them like they will make belts, purses and they will also make shoes out of them to.
There is another reason that people kill snakes that is because they are scared of them.
Not all snake species are known to be dangerous there are some of them that can be
really harmless to people. There are so many reasons why people kill snakes. There are
so many different types of snakes that will usually be caught and they will also be taken
to all different countries so that they can be sold as pets in different shops. The snakes
that are poisonous are being used for making anti-venom this is activity made from the
snakes venom and they will use this so that they can save a life from someone that has
been bitten by a snake. People are also killing the snake for their skin so that they can
make so many different items out of them and those items are shoes, purses and they
will also make belts out of them to. Even people will also kill a snake because they are
scared of them. You know if these people learned about snakes they will start to
understand them better. You know if you learn about something it does not seem so
scary. You know learning can make a huge help in a person’s life because if they learn
about snakes they will know how wonderful and beautiful snakes are. These animals
deserve to have a change to live on in life. The biggest threats to a snake is that their
population. This is the same problem that so many other animals are going through to.
The problem with this is that people are moving in onto their lands and if that happens
then snakes and other animals will not have a lot of room to look for food and to raise
their young. The most biggest threat to snakes is that their habitats are getting
destroyed. People are destroying their homes because so that they can make room for
ranches, farms and highways. The other threats that snakes are going through Is that
roads and their habitats are getting destroyed these are the two most dangerous
threats to a snake. There a lot of snakes that are known to be really harmless when it
comes to people, but people are fearing them today. People are being scared of
snakes than ever before that is because there are so many people taking over a
snake’s home when that happens they will start to roam into cities and other places
where people and snakes can easily see each other. There are some other places
where people have never seen a snake before until they find one in their backyard or
some other places where people can easily be found in. The people that live in cities
have never ever seen a snake in the wild before or even learned about them thatis the
reason why people are scared of these reptiles.The people that lived before us, they
had a really good sense in these animals and they always treat these animals with
healthyrespect even the ones that are known to be poisonous. But people must know
that all snakes are all marvelous creatures. We all should learn the ways that our
ancestors have learned how to trust in these animals like they did. There are so many
snakes all over the world that are dealing with these threatsone of the most dangerous
threats to a snake is that their habitats are getting destroyed and they are also getting
killed for food. People are also killing these beautiful reptiles for their skin so that people
can make clothes out of them. Snakes play a really important role and that is to help
keep the population of rabbits and rodents under control. There are so many scientists
around the world that are doing a lot of studying on these reptiles. In some part of the
world the snakes that are known to be poison they are getting killed so that people can
make medicine out of them. What make a snake really important is that their size and
color that they have on them. This is a really important role that is in the web of life.
Every species of snake is really beautiful and people should be thankful for that not only
for their beauty but people should really respect these animals for what they are and
how much beauty that they have just like all the other animals on this planet have to.
These animals only want is to be leaved alone and not to be bothered with human
drama. We must do something to help and to save these animals. These reptiles need
all of the help that they can get. Snakes have the right to continue living on this planet.
They are doing their part in nature and we should find a place in nature to. This is a
really big planet that is felled with wonders and discoveries that are waiting to be
found. We have to make this planet safe for us and the other creatures that we share it
with. This is our beautiful home it deserves to have a chance to live on for the next
generation to come. There is a really big, bright and beautiful future if we find a way to
project our planet. This is our world and our home will be a muchhappier and cleaner
place to live on. We have to make room for other living creatures to. God made
animals for a reason just like he made us. That is what I know about snakes. If we work
together we can save the snake and the other animals that live on this planet to.
Together we can make a difference in our beautiful planet that we all share.

Snake report for ariel hyers

  • 1. Customer: Ariel Hyers Animals: Snakes Report by: Felicia Ferentinos Snake Report All species of snake are all carnivores that means that they only eat meat and that also means that they eat other animals. The type of animals that a snake will eat is mice, birds, frogs, and they can also eat worms to, the bigger species of snakes will normally eat goats and really small deer. Snakes can't chew their food so that means that they swallow their food whole. These animals have really powerful muscles that can easily push down the food very slowly down to the snake’s stomach. The other foods that they will eat are rodents, mammals, reptiles, fish, amphibians, insects and they can also eat eggs. There are some snakes like the cobra, viper, and the rattlesnake which are known to be venomous and they will also kill their prey. They will kill their prey by forcing theirpoison to come through their hollow fangs. There are other snakes like the boa and the anaconda will kill their prey by squeezing them to death. Snakes do not even bite the food and cut into really small pieces they just shallow it whole. There are some snakes that will normally catch their food and just swallow it. The other food that a snake will try to catch are rats, mice and other vermin all of these food sounds really tasty to a snake. If snakes were not around then we will have these rodents running all over the place. There are some species of snakes that will eat eggs, frogs and they can also eat insects to. There are a lot of snakes that can even swallow a really big animal. They will also swallow animals that can be as big as they are. This will also mean the really big species of snakes can swallow really big animals. There was one record book about an African rock python that can weight about no more than (140 pounds). This python has swallowed an animal that weighted about 130 pounds. There are some snakes that are hunters and there other snakes rather ambush their prey. These animals are known to be really sneaky and they will try to tick their prey so that they can come to them. Like they cantellif a snake they hasan bright yellow tip that can located on their tails it looks like a worm. The snakes that live in desert habitats they will usually hide under the sand so that they can wait for any prey to come their way. The smallest snake is the Threat snake they will eat the eggs of ants and centipedes. The biggest snakes which are the Python and Anacondas. These snakes have been known to eat deer and pig. There are other snakes that will usually eat insects, rodents, birds, eggs, fish, frogs, lizards and they can also eat small mammals. Every species of snake all have to swallow their food whole. Even through that these animals cannot chew or bite it does not mean that they do not have teeth. They will usually use their teeth for grabbing, hooking and holding on to their prey. The Constrictors will usually grab and
  • 2. hold their prey then they will start to wrap themselves around the prey and then they will slowly tight in their coils then they will continue to squeeze every single breathe that their prey has and they will not stop squeezing the prey until the animal and their heart stops breathing. The snakes that are known to be venomousare cobras, Vipers and Rattlesnakes they will usually paralyze their prey by using their fangs to sink into the prey before they swallow the prey. Lots of people have always wondered how a snake can swallow a big animal without chewing it first. Snakes have really powerful muscles that are found right in front of the half side of their bodies. Snakes will use these muscles to help them to move when they are swallowing. This is how this is done. First the muscles will the food right down to their throat and then it will go down their very long stomach. It can take a snake 10 minutes in a hour to move the food through the throat and into the stomach. It really depends on the size of the snake. The snakes that will mostly eat eggsthat have really sharp rib bones that can help the snake to poke into the eggshell so that it can help the snake so that the digitation can go down very fast. The food that goes into the snake’s stomach will take about a few days in a month so that they can break up the digest. That can take a very long time for them to eat the meal. There are some snakes that can only eat about a couple times in a year. Snakes will eat so many different types of foods that will also include termites, rodents, birds, frogs, small deer, and they can also eat other reptiles. Snakes never chew their food they will just swallow it whole. They can even eat a animal that can be three times bigger than the size of their head that is because they have a lower jaw that is separate from their upper jaw. So that their prey does not escape from them. They can hold on to their prey by using their rear-facing teeth so that they can have enoughstrength for holding onto the animal. The snakes that are poisonous they will usually drive their prey into venom;the constrictors will usually squeeze their prey really hard so that they can stop the prey from breathing and their heart. These animals do not usually hunt every day. An anaconda and the pythons can go for a year without any food after they are done with their very long meal. There are some snakes that will usually hunt when it gets dark. All different types of snake have their often very special diets. There are some snakes that rather eat worms and other insects and there are other snakes that will normally eat eggs or snails. Snakes prey on all different types of animals like mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, amphibians, very big invertebrate and they can also eat other snakes to. There are so many different types of snakes on this planet like the snakes that are poisonous and the constrictors. The constrictors will usually wait really patiently for any prey to come by so that they can grab it and then they will wrap themselves really fast around the prey and they will start to squeeze the animal really hard so that they can kill the prey by making it stop breathing and by stopping its heart. When the dead animal no longer breathing then this will be the time when the snake swallows it whole. They will have to swallow their food whole because their teeth are not made for chewing. The snakes that are poisonous will usually take a strenuous approach. They will do this by using their fangs to kill the prey and then they will sit and wait for the prey to
  • 3. die. These animals will only attack when they are hungry. Snakes have a flicked forked tongue that can help the snake to pick up any scent that can be in that area. When the tip that is on the tongue touches the Jacobson's organ and then the snake will be able to find where the smell is coming from. If they scent any sign of food than the snake will start to stay really till and they will be ready to attack the prey. All species of snake all can swallow their food. There are other snakes that can kill their prey really first before they swallow it. There are others that do not kill their prey like that. There are a lot of snakes that can easily kill an animal that can be much bigger than their own head that is because they have an rigid jawbones that can be loosely connected and they will start to thus so that they can grow even bigger. The body of an snake can also be really bigger thantheir own prey that they catch. Snakes can be found on every continent in the world but they do not live in Antarctica. They can also live on every habitat to but they do not live in areas that are really cold. Snakes do not just live under the ground. The other places that snakes can be found are in rivers, lakes and even in oceans. There are a lot of snakes that live in trees and there are some species that live in Southeast Asia over there these snakes will usually glide through the air. The dull colors and the patterns on their body help the snake to disguise themselves in the sand. The snakes that have really bright colors they will usually hide in really lush tropical forest. Snakes live all over the world. There are a lot of different types of snakes that live in really warm places that are near the equator so that it will be warm enough for them to survive. In really cold places that is where snakes usually hibernate and they will usually fall sleep under the ground and they will have to stay under the ground for all the winter months so that they do not freeze to death. There are some species of snake that can be found on land some may live in trees, some snakes can live under the ground and there are others that live in the water. Snakes can be found on every place in the world but they do not live in really cold areas like Antarctica, Iceland, Ireland, and Greenland and also you can't find snakes in New Zealand either. There are lots of species of snake that can also be found in tropical areas to. Snakes can also be found on all different types of habitats like they can live in places that have water, forests, deserts and they can also live on the prairie. Snakes live on so many different land and water habitats. The snakes that live in tropical rainforests are known to be really big. Snakes can be found on every continentin the world but they do not live in Antarctica. There are some places where snakes cannot be found and those places are Hawaii, Iceland, Ireland and they can also be found in New Zealand. All snakes like to live in really hot places because if they get to cold then they will not be able to move. Snakes do not like to live in places that are known to have polar regions . There are some snakes that can be found in tropical and in temperate places that can be found on every place in the world but they do not live inPolar Regions like Antarctica. Snakes can survive lots of habitats and those places will be in temperate forests, tropical jungle, grasslands, deserts, swamps. They can also be found in oceans to.

On a snakes skin there are pieces that are on their skin that can be really hard that is called scales. Snakes have scales because it helps them to hold onto the ground better.

The sea snakes have an paddle- shaped tail that can help them to swim. Snakes only have four ways to move around in their habitat. Instead on having legs they will use their muscles and they will also use their scales to help them to get around. The first way that they will get around is called the Serpentine method. This is a type of motion that lots of people think about snakes. This is when the snakes are pushing themselves off of the bump of the other surface of rocks, trees and etc. These reptiles can move in a really wavy motion. Then when this happens then the snake will not be able to move over a slick surface like glass. There is another name for this movement and it is called the lateral undulation. The movement that they do is called the Concertina method. This one is way to hard for a snake to
  • 5. move because this will effect on their really tight spaces. Then the snake will start to brace when they are on their back portion that can be found on their bodies this can help them to push and extend into the front portion. Then that will be the time when the snake will start to drop to the front portion that can be found on their body and that can be straight then they will start to pull to their back portion along. This is just like them almost throwing themselves forward. The other movement that they will do is called the sidewinding this is a really hard motion to describe but there are a lot of snakes that use this alone. They will use this movement on loose or on slippery different types of surfaces like on sand and on mud. Snakes will usually throw their heads forward and then they will do the rest of the body when the head is being thrown forward. The last movement that a snake does is called the rectilinear Method. This type of movement is a really slow and straight movement to do this the snake will have to use some of their scales that can be found on their belly so that they can grip to the ground and then that will be the time when they are being pushed forward with the other snakes. Snakes will usually use their senses for hunting, to escape from any predator and also to find a good mate. There are some snakes that have a really good eye sight and they can only use it to tell the difference between light and dark, Even though there are some snakes that do not have a really good eye sight and then they will use their other senses to help them around. The other senses that they will have is sense of touch and their sense of smell these are the types of senses that they will use if they do not have a really good eye sight. Snakes may not have any noses but they do have nostrils that can help them to breathe and they will usually use their tongues to smell what is around them. The way that they smell what is around them then they will usually stick out their tongues so that they can smell on what is going on around them. The moist that is on the tongue can collect any scent any small organism that can be found whatever the tongue touches that can be coming from the air that can be surrounding the snake. By the time the tongue goes back to the mouth then the fork will start to touch a really special sensory organ and this is called the Jacobson's organ that can be found on the hook of the snake’s mouth and that can tell what the snake smells by the Jacobson's organ. On the snakes lips there is an small notch that can be found right on their lips and that is how these animals can stick out their tongue instead on opening their mouths. Snakes will usually absorb the vibration that can be coming from the ground and the size of their prey or if there is any danger that they will have to face then they can tell how the animal is moving and where the danger is coming from. The snakes will usually flick their tongue in and out and it continues on. Then when the tongue is doing that then it will start to bring the air into the snake’s mouth. The places that are found in the snake’s mouth are known for testing the air then that will tell the snakes brain what is in the air. Snakes have an really good sense of smell, but they are known not to be that great through that is because of their nostrils that can go through the forked. Instead on having a nose the snake will activity use their tongue to smell what is going on around them. The tongue works by picking up any Microscopic particles that can be coming
  • 6. from the air and it can also be coming from the ground to. They do this because it is really forked for the tongue to pick up any scent that can be coming from more to one direction that can be coming from nearby and they can smell what is going on in all directions in between. They can use their sense of smell to look for food. Snakes may have their eyes wide open but it does not mean that these animals can see well. Like the gaboon viper their eyes can be found on both sides of their head and that means that they cannot focus well enough. But these animals can see well when they are moving around in their area that they are in. This is how the prey can easily escape from a snake when they are standing still.There is no animal on earth that knows how to stare then a snake does. One of the snake species that is really good at staring is the bush viper. The reason why they are so good at staring because they have no eyelids so it always looks like it is always staring. These animals will also stare when they are sleeping to. Snakes are really known for having really good lenses that happens to be really clear to a snake. These clear lenses are really spectacle this happens to be one of the snake’s scales. This will help the snakes to protect their eyes when they are protecting their eyes they will usually be protected under a shield. All over a snakes body is al covered with scales. Snakes will usually use their scales to protect their armor if they did not have this then it will be really hard for the snake to be able to move over really hot or on really rough areas like on a tree bark, rocks, and on really hot desert sand. A snake scales and are also known to be waterproof and this helps them to get the water out of their scales this goes to the snakes that usually live in water locations. Snakes have really rough belly scales that can help the snake to keep their grip when they are going through really hard branches and then they will be able to push the surfaces when they really have to move. The scales that are on a snake all have layers of cells. All of these cells are all stacked on each other. The outer cells are used for dead or to protect the living ones that can be found under them. In every few times in a year a snake will start to shed their dead skin. The cells that can be found underneath.Then they will be ready to take over the old skins place. When the snake is ready to have their eyes shed then they will be really cloudy and they will become really blinded. They will become blind because the snakes eyes don't have eyelids on them (this is also the reason why these animals do not blink) but instead on blinking they will be covered with really clear scales that are called spectacle' scales. When they are ready to shed their old skin then they will start to rub against any rough surface like a rock so that they can break the skin that can be close to their mouth and then they will start to slide right off of them. It is just like taking over a sock. When a snake’s skin gets too small then they will start to grow a whole new skin. To remove the skin the snake will start to rub on a rock so that it can make a really small crack into the skin. The crack will start to get bigger. They will start to get bigger when they start to crawl. Then that is how the old skin will start to come off in really small pieces. The snake will remain to grow in all of its live. But the outer skin does not last very long; they are also staring when they are sleeping to. These snakes are known to have really good lens that are known to be really clear which are
  • 7. really spectacle this is some of the scales that they have on their body. The spectacle is used to protect their eyes when they go under the shield. A snake will only shed their skin seven times in the first year. The skin will start to grow really fast. A snake that is really old will normally shed their skin only once a year. When people think of snakes they think of poison but not all species are known to be poisonous. There are about 2,700 snake species that live on this planet. There are 400 species of snake that are known to be poisonous and there are only a few of 50 snakes that are known to be really dangerous to people. Usually the ones that are poison will activity try to avoid any contact with humans. There are some poison snakes that don’t really get any close to a really big human populated area. It is known for a fact that the biggest and the most dangerous snakes will only cause a really few of human deaths that is because they are so used to living in remote areas. The snakes that are known to be poison are the king cobra, black mamba, taipan, bushmaster, eastern diamondback rattlesnake and the gaboon viper; these are the snakes that are known to be poisonous. The snakes that are poison will activity use venom this can help them to catch their prey. Poison snakes do not need to spend hours wasting their good energy for squeezing their prey and they also do not need to spend their time chasing it to. These snakes can catch their prey by forcing of them their venom and then they will wait for the prey to come to it. There are only 3,000 different types of snakes that live on this planet. There are also 400 different types of poisonous snakes that are on this planet. there are only 50 of the poison snakes that can be very deathly to people. The other species of snake are really known to be timid and they can also attack a person if they get to close. There are a lot of snakes that are oviparous this means that they lay eggs when they have babies and that will hatch later on. So that means that the mother will have to protect the babies when they are inside of the egg. A snake egg can be really tough and it also has leathers on it to. The young snakes have a really hard time breaking out of the egg because it is so strong. There are some species of snake that will lay eggs and there are others that will give birth to live young it depends on the species. There are some species of snakes that will lay eggs and there are others that will usually give birth to live young it depends on the species. There are a lot of snakes that will lay 2 or 16 eggs that can be in a clutch. Even through there are other species that will lay 50 or even more eggs. The mother will start to sit on her eggs and then she will start to bury and wrapped them around with their body. So that they can stay warm. There are some species in the python group and the king cobra these snakes will protect their eggs by staying with them to make sure that there are no other predator will come and try to eat them. There are other species where they have to leave their eggs so that they can hatch but the parents do not take care of them or even watch them. That is called an egg-laying snake and they usually live in tropical areas that have an temperate climate. Snakes will start to mate in the spring after hibernation is over and the cold climates are gone. The mating process can happen at any time of the year. A male can attract a female by fighting with other males that wants to get attention from her, but they do not fight
  • 8. to kill each other they just fight for the better of it. There are some snakes like the boas, rattlesnakes and the garter snakes they will activity give birth to live young. This means that snake babies will normally grow inside of the mother’s stomach. The moment that they are born then they will be covered with a thin membrane. It kind a looks like an goopy baggie. Snakes have an egg tooth this can help them to break out of the membrane so that they can wriggle themselves out of the egg. There are other snakes that will lay their eggs in really safe and warm places like in a hollow log or maybe they might even bury them under the ground. The difference between a snake egg and a chicken egg is that the snake egg is not hard like a chicken egg is. It’s just that their eggs have more leather then the chicken’s eggs are. The babies can easily break the egg open with their tooth The Racer and the coral snakes will normally just lay their eggs and leave them out on their own and the parents will never return to the eggs again. When the babies start to come out of the eggs then in a few weeks later then they will be out on their own so that they can hunt for food for themselves The king Cobras and some other species that are in the python group the parents will normally stay with their eggs and they will also keep them warm and so that they can protect them when they hatch out of the egg. This behavior is called “brooding”, after the moment that they are out of the eggs then the babies will be out on their own. The snakes will start to lose their egg tooth right after they have hatched out of the eggs. Snakes will normally reproduce in every once year so there are some snakes that can produce in every 3 years. There are a lot of snake species that will lay eggs and there are other species that will give birth to live young. Snakes will usually lay their eggs in places that are really warm. There other species that will just lay their egg and have their young but the parents will not take care of them. Snakes will usually mate in every once year. After they are done mating which will take about two or three months then that will be the time when the mothers will start to lay her eggs. She will place her eggs in a place that is really warm and that is totally safe from predators that will try and eat her eggs. By the time the eggs are ready to hatch then they will start to use a really special tooth that happens to be really sharp and that is called an egg tooth. This can help them to open the shells because the shells are mostly made out of leather. By the time that they are out of the egg and now they are called hatchlings and then after that then they will start their lives all by themselves. There are some other snakes that will usually give birth to live young. These snakes will take like seven months to mate. Right before the babies are born then the snakes will be in a casing. There is another word for this to and that is called sacs. Snakes will leave their sacs really fast right over the babies has been born out of the egg. Even these will be out on their own the moment that they come out of the egg. There are a lot of snake species that will normally lay eggs. There eggs happen to have leathers and these eggs totally do not have a hard shell like a bird’s egg. The female will start to lay her eggs in a really good place to put her eggs in. Then the female will start to leave the eggs all on their own and she will not wait until the babies are out of the eggs. There are only a few python species that will usually
  • 9. watch over their eggs. It will take the baby a few weeks for it to grow inside of the egg. When the time has come for the eggs to come out of the egg. Then that will be the time when the baby will start to clip their own way out of the egg and they can do this by using a special tooth which is called the egg tooth. There are some snakes that do not lay any eggs at all. Instead on laying hundreds of eggs in a nest or in a really warm place. They will have their babies grow inside of the mother’s stomach. The babies will usually hatch from eggs when they are still inside of the mother’s stomach. Then after they are out of the eggs that are inside of her then she will start to give birth. These snakes are called live bearers. The snakes that just been hatched out of the egg. Then they kind a look a lot like adult snakes but in a miniature look. When the eggs have been laid then that will be the time when the parents start to leave their babies all on their own and the parents do not even protect them from danger. The babies do that all on their own. So that means that the younger will have to find a really good place and this location will have to be somewhere that is safe for them so that they can look for food all on their own. On the snakes scales that is on their skin happens to be really tough so that means it is really hard for snakes to stretch themselves. When the snake’s starts to get older then that will be the time when the skin will start to get really tight. Every single young snake must always be able to molt. The molt is oil that can be spread all under their outer layer of the snake’s skin. The old skin that the snake had will start to split and it will also start to slip off of the body in once piece at a time. Then after the old skin is gone now it will be re-placed with an new and shiny skin that can be found underneath them. There are only a few species of snake that are living in their national habitats today. The reason why there is only a few that are living on their habitats is that because there are a lot of people that are starting to move on to areas where snakes used to live on. That means that their land is being cleared out and people are also cutting down trees so that they can make lumber out of the wood that the trees have. Snakes are not the only animals that are only living in this threat also There are so many other animals on this planet that are starting to feel the threat that snakes are facing right now to. Another threat that snakes will face is that there are a lot of people that are killing them for their amazing skins. The reason why they are killing the snakes for their skin because so that they can use it to make so many different items out of them like they will make belts, purses and they will also make shoes out of them to. There is another reason that people kill snakes that is because they are scared of them. Not all snake species are known to be dangerous there are some of them that can be really harmless to people. There are so many reasons why people kill snakes. There are so many different types of snakes that will usually be caught and they will also be taken to all different countries so that they can be sold as pets in different shops. The snakes that are poisonous are being used for making anti-venom this is activity made from the snakes venom and they will use this so that they can save a life from someone that has been bitten by a snake. People are also killing the snake for their skin so that they can make so many different items out of them and those items are shoes, purses and they
  • 10. will also make belts out of them to. Even people will also kill a snake because they are scared of them. You know if these people learned about snakes they will start to understand them better. You know if you learn about something it does not seem so scary. You know learning can make a huge help in a person’s life because if they learn about snakes they will know how wonderful and beautiful snakes are. These animals deserve to have a change to live on in life. The biggest threats to a snake is that their population. This is the same problem that so many other animals are going through to. The problem with this is that people are moving in onto their lands and if that happens then snakes and other animals will not have a lot of room to look for food and to raise their young. The most biggest threat to snakes is that their habitats are getting destroyed. People are destroying their homes because so that they can make room for ranches, farms and highways. The other threats that snakes are going through Is that roads and their habitats are getting destroyed these are the two most dangerous threats to a snake. There a lot of snakes that are known to be really harmless when it comes to people, but people are fearing them today. People are being scared of snakes than ever before that is because there are so many people taking over a snake’s home when that happens they will start to roam into cities and other places where people and snakes can easily see each other. There are some other places where people have never seen a snake before until they find one in their backyard or some other places where people can easily be found in. The people that live in cities have never ever seen a snake in the wild before or even learned about them thatis the reason why people are scared of these reptiles.The people that lived before us, they had a really good sense in these animals and they always treat these animals with healthyrespect even the ones that are known to be poisonous. But people must know that all snakes are all marvelous creatures. We all should learn the ways that our ancestors have learned how to trust in these animals like they did. There are so many snakes all over the world that are dealing with these threatsone of the most dangerous threats to a snake is that their habitats are getting destroyed and they are also getting killed for food. People are also killing these beautiful reptiles for their skin so that people can make clothes out of them. Snakes play a really important role and that is to help keep the population of rabbits and rodents under control. There are so many scientists around the world that are doing a lot of studying on these reptiles. In some part of the world the snakes that are known to be poison they are getting killed so that people can make medicine out of them. What make a snake really important is that their size and color that they have on them. This is a really important role that is in the web of life. Every species of snake is really beautiful and people should be thankful for that not only for their beauty but people should really respect these animals for what they are and how much beauty that they have just like all the other animals on this planet have to. These animals only want is to be leaved alone and not to be bothered with human drama. We must do something to help and to save these animals. These reptiles need all of the help that they can get. Snakes have the right to continue living on this planet.
  • 11. They are doing their part in nature and we should find a place in nature to. This is a really big planet that is felled with wonders and discoveries that are waiting to be found. We have to make this planet safe for us and the other creatures that we share it with. This is our beautiful home it deserves to have a chance to live on for the next generation to come. There is a really big, bright and beautiful future if we find a way to project our planet. This is our world and our home will be a muchhappier and cleaner place to live on. We have to make room for other living creatures to. God made animals for a reason just like he made us. That is what I know about snakes. If we work together we can save the snake and the other animals that live on this planet to. Together we can make a difference in our beautiful planet that we all share.
