Corn Snake Shedding

The song “Black Snakes” by A Tribe called Red and Prolific the Rappers explains to the world that the citizens need to stand up and protest to protect the water between North Dakota to Patoka, Illinois. Prolific the Rappers tell the audience that enough is enough with the companies trying to make a pipeline to collect oil. Prolific the Rappers stated in his line, “A black snake with some black tanks (ugh), how much money do these companies need to make? They could drive their product, but they want to save a buck. Already extracted billions when is enough’s enough.”. He raps this lyric to send a message about the Dakota Access pipeline is only letting the company get rich from the oil and they do not care about what the effect will happen

Their venom is a potent Hemotoxin, the venom kills red blood cells and impales muscle tissue. The venom is highly potent and lethal to humans, but antivenin is ubiquitous and deaths are very uncommon. The snake is easily recognizable by its large head and bulky body The ground color of its body is olive brown and has large diamonds with brown centers and cream borders. The tail is brownish grey (banded with dark rings). Newborns have a button at the end of their tail, and adults and juveniles have a rattle. Young and old have a cat eye with a vertical pupil. While baby snakes are 15 inches long, they can grow up to eight feet because of its complementing 20 year livelihood The Diamondback Rattler can also strike 2/3 of its body length so a six foot snake can strike four

The author uses imagery to characterize the snake and emphasize the importance of its life. When the narrator first approaches the snake, he observes how the snake “held his ground in calm watchfulness; he was not even rattling yet, much less was he coiled; he was waiting for me to show my intentions.” This description uses specific details of the snake’s actions to illustrate how the snake reacts nonviolently. In fact, the snake waits to see what the narrator does instead of attacking outright,

Scientist fear that huge 250 pound Burmese Pythons could spread from South Florida to much of the Southern United States. According to a survey report, pythons find ⅓ of the United States to be comfortable for them to spread. Snakes such as Burmese Pythons have shown to be highly adaptable. These snakes can slither at a constant rate of 20 miles, and they never stop moving. The Burmese Python have killed children who were mistaken for food and are unable to stop their instinctive reaction to coil and squeeze. However, Burmese Pythons will have to get past Florida’s alligators first. The absence of predators such as alligators can make these snakes’ journey much easier.

The python’s intestines thicken, their insulin levels shoot up, liver and kidneys double in size, they have a 6-degree temp increase, their metabolism jumps 8-fold, and their pulse quickens as they digest.

There are many different species of snakes that inhabit Arizona, but the Sonoran Coral Snake, the Sonoran Mountain Kingsnake, the Milk Snake, and the Sonoran Shovel-Nosed Snake are particularly interesting because despite being different species they all look like one another. The red, black, and yellow stripes they share can be attributed to evolution and environment. The four species of snakes have different diets, habitats, and distribution, but they do share one environmental element: primary predators. All four snakes have raptors, long tailed weasels, and badgers as predators. These snakes have evolved to have stripes because raptors, long tailed weasels, and badgers are less likely to eat snakes with red, black, and yellow stripes

A female Burmese Python will lay up to 207 eggs at once. Inside her nest, she will coil her body around the eggs to maintain a temperature of about ninety degrees Fahrenheit. Incubation takes around two months. The python has only just recently been observed engaging in shivering thermo genesis for the first time outside of captivity. This is the production of body heat through muscle contractions. The mother snake does this to raise the temperature of her nest and eggs- the warmer the incubation, the quicker they will hatch, and slither free throughout the forest, carrying on its destructive path. With this sort of reproduction, it’s no wonder they’re so easily taking over the Everglades.

The Mojave Rattlesnake is found in the mojave desert of california and in western parts in texas southern nevada edge of mexican plateau.Its habitat varies between dry deserts grasslands and bushes. Adults can reach 2 to 4 inches which is a medium sized snake. Some can be greenish, greenish gray ,olive green , and occasionally brownish or yellowish. The diamond back rattle snakes adaptation is that they have a toxic venom the can help kill predators.

When capture snakes are euthanized by USNPS personnel, and the nest is destroyed. Other ways of removing the Burmese pythons are by isolating the chemical cues (pheromones) that pythons use during mating season. Once isolated, pheromones can lure pythons into traps. Trained dogs are being looked at for their effectiveness at sniffing out snakes. A release of an exotic animal in Florida is a first-degree misdemeanor with a year in prison and a $1,000 fine. Regulation went up in 2008 to limit the sale of "reptiles of concern” like the Burmese pythons, African rock pythons, reticulated pythons, green anacondas, etc. microchip implant and identification for reptiles two inches in diameter or greater. Conduct research before purchasing an exotic pet. If someone no longer cares for an exotic pet, call the Fire Rescue Department. (McCleery, 2015) The Burmese python poses challenges to trap. Trapping, a traditional method of snake capture, can include an inescapable funnel device and a drift fence that direct the snake into the trap. It is important that the drift fence is inserted into the so the snakes don’t bypass it. The problem with this is with the hard limestone foundation making construction of the drift fences difficult. Finally, the immense area that the Burmese python occupied will make it hard to utility an extensive trapping. It would be more practical to trap them on

Throughout the man’s dilemma, the rattler is always calm and relaxed. When first spotted by the man, the snake’s head was “merely turned … To watch what [the man] would do.” Many snakes would feel threatened just seeing a human; this rattler is only wary, and reacts with dignity. He does nothing to the man, not even rattle, until he is physically threatened. The rattler “[sees] the hoe” in the man’s hand, and yet, still does not feel the need to attack, which helps the reader to sympathize with the snake because he does nothing wrong. Eventually, after the rattler is killed, the snake’s “jaws gape and snap once more,” signifying his defeat and last-ditch effort to fight. The rattler’s final snap reminds the readers that he is a wild animal; he was not born with the self restraint shown in his interactions with the man. To expect the rattler to bite the man in the beginning would not be farfetched, as wild animals are unpredictable. Readers sympathize with the snake’s final moments because he was solely respectful to the man. His respect is much more than could be expected of him, but his life is still taken. How the snake acts throughout the story makes readers feel sorry for him, as well as his

The ring-neck snake has a yellow ring on its neck, and its backside's body color varies between gray, blue, greenish-gray,

Snakeheads are capable of spreading to many different areas and habitats. They do this by swimming underwater into other waterways. Snakeheads also have the ability to breathe out of water, so they can travel short distances on land to get to different areas. Even though snakeheads only breed when temperatures are warm, their eggs only take 1 to 2 days to hatch; causing quicker births of individuals.

scrub brush such as mesquite and creosote, but may also reside in lowland areas of sparse vegetation.¨wikipedia stated most people are concerned when getting bite by the mojave rattlesnake. If this happens to you the bite won't hurt, but if you get bit there will be deadly poison running through your system. This snake is very deadly so I would stay away from it. This deadly snake lives in the southwestern part of the United States, Also in Central Mexico.

The snakes makes their debut on the coattails of Laocoön’s concerns over the Greek’s horse. As it was he who questioned the trust the Trojans had in the Greek’s gift of the wooden horse, functionally, the death of Laocoön and his sons can first be read as a plot driven decision because upon their deaths, there would be no one of authority to question their judgements. The killing of Laocoön and his sons by the snakes was therefore swift and ruthless, as they “Ensnared the man as he ran up/With weapons: coils like cables looped and bound him...Sending to heaven his appalling cries/Like a slashed bull escaping from an altar/The fumbled axe shrugged off,” (2.295-303).

Thankfully I am feeling much better and I learned my lesson of never to think carelessly again. We just got to Fort Boise and traded and bought more supplies. Then, like I was in slow motion I saw a snake rising up to a man’s knee and “SNAP” it bit his knee and fled away. It happened so fast. I heard that when it was hot the snakes would
