The Morphology Of Species Of Snakes

According to the article “Burmese pythons : not the ideal pet”,Matt Piven states “The python’s unique hinged jaws allow it to swallow an object five times as wide as it’s own head.” This statement means it would be very difficult to kill a snake like this,so if the hunter was not survive. My reasoning is to spread the word that the people we set out to kill these monsters needs to be trained not people that have no experience they're basically putting themselves in a cage saying “come at me.” In addition a newspaper article that goes by the name of “Florida's python hunt” by Andrew Ng he mentions “with no natural predators,these eating machines appear to be wiping out huge numbers of opossums,raccoons,and many bird species.” Ultimately, this matters because we can clearly tell by this article that the Burmese pythons are carnivores(they eat meat). They could easily sneak in someone's house and kill them. Pythons are not safe pets to have. In fact we shouldn't have them as pets at all considering how dangerous they

which venomous snake is best known? Yep, you guessed it, the King Cobra (or as scientists call it Ophiophagus Hannah or snake-eater!!). Did you know that King Cobra are the only snake to lay eggs that they guard with all their life . They can also raise ⅓ of there body off the ground. They raise their body of the ground to make themselves look bigger to scare off enemies. The also hold a world record for longest tongue and they are not the most venomous snake in the world? They just eject the most venom into their prey.

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

The Burmese pythons are carnivores and only eat meat. “Burmese pythons are carnivores and survive primarily on small birds and mammals.” (Burmese Python: Not the ideal pet) This quote show what the eating habits are with the snake. The Burmese pythons are dangerous killers but they don’t have venom.

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.

Burmese pythons are an invading species that are causing problems to the local animal population, the local ecosystems, and the people in the area of Florida’s Everglades. These snakes are one of the biggest snakes in the world and grow up to be twenty three feet long and weigh up to two hundred pounds. They are able to hunt in the dark due to the chemical receptors on their tongues and heat sensors all over their jaw. This is bad for humans, as we cannot see very well in the dark. This can cause the snake to see us, but us not be able to see them. Without natural predators, these animals are lean, mean killing machines that can destroy many populations of animals and stand as a threat to humans.

The long-tailed weasel gets 8.4 units of energy a day from snakes in total but only get 0.1 of those units come from all four the striped snakes combined. The weasel gets 3.2 units from Garter snakes and 5.1 units from the Patch-nosed snakes. This is the same pattern that was seen in raptors. Both of the predators prefer the Garter snakes and Patch-nosed snakes to the striped snakes, further supporting the theory that the stripes on the Milk snake, Kingsnake, Shovel-nosed snake, and Coral snake make them less attractive to predators and therefore the predators eat much less of them then the Garter and Patch-nosed

Biodiversity is something the snakes are also messing with. The definition is " Having many different kinds of plants and animals means that species have different choices for survival" as say in the article Are the Everglades Forever?. So by snakes eating most of the animals , its not giving an opportunity to the other animals

To begin with, Burmese pythons are ruining the Everglades and the animal population there. They are eating those animals and are destroying the Everglades. These snakes have no venom, but they have other techniques to murder their prey. Source one tells us that Burmese pythons are carnivores and usually survive on small birds and other creatures. This type of python is one of the largest snakes in the world.

The Burmese python is a very powerful and extraordinary animal. This huge reptile is among the largest snakes in the world. This gigantic snake is capable of growing to twenty-three feet and a weight of two hundred pounds. These exotic animals are carnivores and usually, survive eating smaller mammals. This is no ordinary snake, it has no venom but has other deadly features. They have back-curving teeth that help clench their prey and the more the animal struggles, the tighter it gets. The Burmese python wraps itself around its food and squeezes until it is dead. This snake swallows its dinner whole. Somehow, people have thought this was a better pet than the family dog and went out to find one. Soon after that, they must have learned otherwise.

The Burmese python is a very large and dangerous snake. Owners go into the store and buy a snake, they like, not realizing how big it's going to get. According to source one, “… Capable of growing to an astonishing length of  23 feet and weigh up to about 200 pounds.” This example provides proof the pythons grow to big to be kept in the house. This article also states, “When animal tries to pull away, it only sinks further into the python grip then the python coils its large and powerful body around the animal… And swallows

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

Mostly because there are 10’s of thousands of these snakes and that they have no natural predators. In source two by Andrew Ng, the text states, “With no natural predators these eating machines seem to be wiping out huge numbers of opossums, raccoons, and bobcats, as well as many bird species.” As you could most likely tell, these snakes are completely wiping out the Ecosystem. People finally started to notice the large growth in the Burmese python’s population. The people of Florida knew that they had to do something or the ecosystem would absolutely die, because at this point they were fed up with doing nothing. Source two states, “Florida senator Bill Nelson took the skin from a 16-foot python to senate committee on the

Burmese pythons are easy to control as pets while they are small, but they grow large very quickly. Owners in Florida who most likely didn’t do their research on the pet planned to released their pythons into the forests and deserts of Florida, where the pythons are causing destruction to the Florida Everglades. Burmese pythons are among the largest snakes in the world. They can grow to a length of 23 feet. Pythons have poor eyesight but they have chemical receptors on their tongues that allow them to track prey in darkness. To kill their prey, they first grasp it with back-curving teeth, then suffocate it by pulling their coils tight around their prey. The python then swallows its prey whole.

know what they look like, what their venom does, and what action to take if bitten. There are four types of venomous snakes in the area; they are all classified as Pit Vipers: Copperhead, Cottonmouth, Timber Rattle Snake and Pygmy Rattlesnake (Powers, 2014). Ticks, brown recluse spiders, and black widow spiders also pose potential health threats to members of the community (“Tennessee”, 2007).
