   Extractions: Snakes are elongated, legless animals with dry, scale-covered skin. Their skin is unusually elastic, which allows it to stretch when large prey items are swallowed. Snakes are rather unique because of these features and because they lack moveable eyelids and external ear openings. Snakes may be only a few inches to several yards long. The most common snakes kept by enthusiasts are the many and varied constrictor species (boas, pythons, rat and milk snakes, etc) and the racer, gopher and garter species. The husbandry and dietary requirements for these types of snakes vary considerably. Furthermore, some of the same species (notably the boa constrictors and pythons) reach very large sizes in captivity, and their considerable space requirements must be anticipated.

   Extractions: Snakes, like all living things, are the product of the process of evolution, which allows species to change over time in response to environmental factors to produce entirely new species. The engine of evolution is "natural selection", in which those individual animals that possess superior survival traits tend to live longer than others and reproduce, in turn passing those same traits on to their offspring. Sea snakes have specialized flattened tails for swimming and have valves over their nostrils which are closed underwater. They differ from eels in that they don't have gill slits and have scales. Due to their need to breathe air, they are usually found in shallow water where they swim about the bottom feeding on fish, fish eggs and eels.

   Extractions: Sea snakes are air breathers probably descended from a family of Australian land snakes. They inhabit the tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific and are highly venomous. Thirty-two species have been identified in the waters about the Barrier Reef in Australia. They seem to congregate in certain areas in the region about the swain Reefs and the Keppel Islands, where the olive sea snake (Aipysurus laevis) is a familiar sight. Sea snakes have specialized flattened tails for swimming and have valves over their nostrils which are closed underwater. They differ from eels in that they don't have gill slits and have scales. Due to their need to breathe air, they are usually found in shallow water where they swim about the bottom feeding on fish, fish eggs and eels. The yellow-bellied sea snake ( Pelamis platurus ) is planktonic, and is seen on occasions floating in massive groups. Fish that come up to shelter under these slicks provide food for the snakes. Occasionally these yellow-bellies get washed up on beaches after storms and pose a hazard to children. Aggressive only during the mating season in the winter, the sea snake is very curious, and they become fascinated by elongated objects such as high pressure hoses. Advice here is to inflate your BC so as to lift away from the bottom and the snake. Provoked snakes can become very aggressive and persistent requiring repeated kicks from the fins to ward them off.

   Extractions: Snakes are elongated, legless animals with dry, scale-covered skin. Their skin is unusually elastic, which allows it to stretch when large prey items are swallowed. Snakes are rather unique because of these features and because they lack moveable eyelids and external ear openings. Snakes may be only a few inches to several yards long. Snakes inhabit a wide variety of ecologic habitats: land, trees,u nderground, fresh water, and salt water. They are found on every continent except Antarctica. No native snakes are found on the islands of Hawaii, Iceland, New Zealand and Ireland. SELECTING A PET SNAKE: Some snakes are rare, endangered and protected by law. These snakes may only be kept by zoos and legitimate herpetologists with the appropriate permits. This is also the case with venomous snakes, which should not, under any circumstances, be kept by the average hobbyist. The most common snakes kept by enthusiasts are the many and varied constrictor species (boas, pythons, rat and milk snakes, etc) and the racer, gopher and garter species. The husbandry and dietary requirements for these types of snakes vary considerably. Furthermore, some of the same species (notably the boa constrictors and pythons) reach very large sizes in captivity, and their considerable space requirements must be anticipated. Usually, an individual eager to own a snake already has a species preference in mind because of some familiarity with it (friend owns a snake of the same species, etc) or because of an inexplicable attraction to a species' physical appearance, size, activity or habits. Before you acquire a snake, you should carefully consider the following recommendations:

    Extractions: I'd never really thought about owning a snake. Every time we went to buy feeder goldfish for our Piranhas, my fearless five year old daughter would look at the snakes at the pet store. One day, I let her hold a baby Ball Python. This started an exciting chain of events! Within the next few days we had two baby Colombian "Red Tail" Boas Boa constrictor imperator . After countless hours of research, we then brought home an eight foot adult! A month or two later our collection consisted of three more adults ranging from five to seven feet in length and a baby Western Hognose . We are continually fascinated by snakes and their behavior. Here is my 8 foot boa. When we got her she had a terrible infestation of mites and pneumonia! Well, thats history and now she is doing great! Update: On March 23, 1999 she produced a clutch of 31 babies! Boa constrictor imperator Check out a snake dinner! This is an awesome sequence of pictures of my Colombian Boa "Zena" eating! Snake defecation In all seriousness I'm not trying to be gross. You'd just be surprised how many people ask what snake stuff looks like! So for all of them, here it is.

    Extractions: Y ou will probably never see a snake in this pose in the wild. I know that the general perception is that snakes are laying in wait to attack whatever passes within range, but that is just not true. Snakes have to be very discriminating both in giving away their location as well as in the use of their venom. The survival of the snake depends on it. In the wild snakes have many enemies not the least of which is the human species. Give snakes the same respect you would give to any dangerous animal, look before you step, and you will greatly increase the chance of never having a snake bite or lunge at you. S nakes are found on just about every continent and every environment including the water. Snakes are very shy and reclusive creatures. In most cases the choice of home for a snake will have a mixture of good ground cover and a constant supply of small animals like lizards, ground squirrels, rabbits, rats, and mice for prey. After finding and consuming prey snakes need a safe place to rest while they digest their food. S ome snakes lay eggs but others, like rattlesnakes and some on our top ten list, have babies that are born live. Litters can be quite large but many of the newborns will not survive their first year. Newborns are usually not nurtured by an adult and in most cases are on their own from birth. These newborns face many challenges including finding appropriately size prey for food as well as staying away from their many predators such as birds, snakes, and other animals. Newborns are dangerous and tend to be more belligerent that adults. In addition they have not learned how how much venom to use and tend to deliver more venom than an adult would.

15. Snakes - General Care
    Enclosure and Space Requirements As a general rule, snakes require relativelylittle space because of their limited and nonexertional activity.  
    http://www.caringtogether.com/exotics/snakes2.html
    
    Extractions: As a general rule, snakes require relatively little space because of their limited and nonexertional activity. Generally speaking, the size of the enclosure should allow inclusion of certain required items (discussed below) and still allow the snake adequate space to stretch out and move about. Snakes will use both the horizontal and vertical space within their enclosure if provisions are made for this activity. Aquaria or other similar glass or Plexiglas-lined enclosures are usually most suitable because they allow optimum visualization of and safety for the occupant(s), and help to maintain desirable environmental temperatures and generally high relative humidity levels. Wire-lined enclosures may afford adequate visualization of the snake but certainly cannot contribute to the maintenance of desirable environmental temperature and humidity levels. Further, such enclosures promote injuries to the rostrum (nose and surrounding tissues) as snakes repeatedly attempt to "escape" through the wire mesh. Any enclosure used must have a secure top and be escape-proof. All hinges and locks should be secure. All snakes are potential "escape artists" and many (especially the California King snakes) can escape form almost any apparently secure enclosure.

    Extractions: Snakes - General Mention snakes and most people react with disgust or fear. This fear and disgust of snakes is usually based on information that is incorrect and misleading. Snakes are not slimy or aggressive. They try to avoid contact with people and will dart under rocks or into tall grass to escape. There are 24 species of snakes in Canada of which fifteen species are found in Ontario. Only one kind of snake living in Ontario is poisonous. The poisonous species is the eastern massassauga rattlesnake. Examples of other snake species in Ontario are the northern water snake, the northern brown snake, the common garter snake, the milk snake, the northern redbelly snake and the eastern hognose snake. All snakes are carnivorous (flesh eating). Snakes have no teeth that are used for chewing. Snakes' teeth are slanted inward which helps keep their prey from escaping. The food is swallowed whole and is slowly digested in the snake's stomach. In order to swallow its prey, the snake has a specially adapted mouth. The skin around the mouth is very elastic and can be stretched over its prey. The snakes can also separate its upper and lower jawbone to create a larger opening. As mentioned earlier, it has sharp, backward pointing teeth to keep the prey from escaping.
