Snakes The largest snake in Sri Lanka is the Python , a non-poisonous constrictor shown in these two pictures. Though they don't sting or bite, they can give really nice big hugs. Only a few of the large variety of snakes found in Sri Lanka are poisonous. These include the cobra, the drait, and the russel's viper . Snakes are hardly ever seen in the jungles, for they cloose to stay well hidden in the bush, preferring the cool of the undergrowth to the heat of the open. This one found a real cool and dark place, however, it is almost impossible for them to hide from Nirosh, as he combs through the Sinharaja Forest ....

Elapids Page FAMILY: VIPERIDAE The vipers represent the pinnacle of venomous snake evolution. Even those people who who have a fear regarding these wonderful creatures must admire the efficiency of their design, which depends upon a long pair of hinged fangs which lay flat against the roof of the mouth when not needed, but can flip forward and lock into place so fast when the jaws swing open. There are three subfamilies; one the Azemiopinae, has but a single member, Fea's viper ( Azemiops feae ) of southern China and neighbouring regions. The Old World vipers of the Viperinae are considered somewhat more primitive than the Crotalinae , or pit vipers, which possess thermoreceptive pits between the eye and the nostril that helps them to locate prey. SUBFAMILY: VIPERINAE The Viperinae are restricted to the Old world, and include some of the planets most deadly snakes, including the saw-scaled viper and the puff adder. Although Shakespeare credits Cleopatra's suicide to an asp (perhaps the desert horned viper, Cerastes cerastes ), modern thinking is that it was a cobra, revered in Egypt and providing a relatively easy death, would be a more logical choice than the violently painful venom of a viper.

Animals Poisonous Snakes of India Indian (Spectacled) Cobra - Naja naja naja Distinctive Features: Medium-sized to large; smooth, shiny scales; wide head and neck; wide black band on underside of neck; distinctive hood marking on top of neck. Description: The Spectacled Cobra is a smooth-scaled snake with black eyes, wide neck and head and medium body. Colouring varies form black or dark brown to yellowish white. The underside is usually white or yellowish with a wide dark neck band. The body is generally covered with a speckled white or yellow pattern, sometimes forming ragged bands. The famous hood marking of the classic design, shows a connected pair of rings. Occasionally, it may not even resemble spectacles, or may be altogether absent. The cobras of northwest India are blackish and have a barely distinguishable hood marking. Cobras are often confused with the Indian rat snakes, which have a much thinner neck and head, and become 3 metres long, a metre more than do the biggest Indian cobras. The Spectacled Cobra is the most widely distributed of the generally accepted 3 sub -species of cobras in Indian and is one of the big four dangerous snakes, 6 species of cobras occur in Asia and 9 in Africa. The jet black cobras occur in Asia and 9 in Africa. The jet black cobra of northwest India and Pakistan is another sub-species or geographic race. Except for its colour and absence of hood marking, it is very similar to the spectacled Cobra.

Snakes by Mark, Bryan, Alex, and Jared (We've been working on researching, writing, and editing this story for months. We hope you enjoy reading it.) Some snakes are deadly. The python is not deadly, but it can kill huge things. It can kill an alligator. They are found mainly in Africa and South East Asia. Pythons, boas, and anacondas are related. They are the largest snakes in the world. They are not poisonous but kill by constriction. This means they squeeze their prey to death. Some species can kill people, but not very many can. Some snakes have very few predators. Some have only just one. Cottonmouth Cottonmouths have a triangular shaped head. They are really poisonous. They really hurt when they bite. They are really dangerous. They can be found from southern Virginia to Missouri and in all southeastern United States. They live in ponds, swamps, and near rivers. They make their burrows in muddy ground near the rivers. They may also take over another animal's den like a muskrat's den. Boas Boas are big and strong. Boas can kill deer and other big animals such as crocodiles. They choke their prey to kill it. Then they swallow their prey because they can open their mouths wide.

by J.N. Barnes The above are some of the more common snakes found in Dhofar, which are also present throughout Arabia. Several other species of snake are to be found in Arabia, but are not common in Dhofar and are therefore not included in this list. Snakes have had an undeservedly bad press, however if they are treated with respect and a few basic rules adhered to - wearing shoes when away from habitation and being vigilant - then both snakes and people should be able to share the same environment with a degree of mutual safety. Note that colour descriptions are not a perfectly reliable guide as variations arise with location and terrain type. Specifically mentioned marking should be constant however. Note also that the approximate lengths given in centimetres are for adults. SOLENOGLYPHS - Dangerous Large folding fangs for delivering venom are situated in the front of the upper jaw. Family Viperidae Sand or horned viper (Cerastes cerastes gasperetti) - 76 cm The most commonly seen viper, found in a wide range of habitats from sand dunes to rocky wadis and the lower slopes of jebels. Some specimens have a horn above each eye. These small fat snakes are mainly nocturnal but can be found buried in sand with just the top of the head visible, or under rocks. They move with a sidewinding action which leaves a distinctive track in the sand. This form of locomotion protects them from the hot sand, allowing only a couple of body points to make contact with the ground at any one time. Usually inoffensive (unless trodden on), they give plenty of warning by rasping their scales together and making many dummy strikes when approached too closely. Coloration is a disruptive camouflage of browns with a distinct dark stripe through the eye.

If you enjoy this article and want to sign up for our newsletter Click Here Did You Know? Snakes generally produce two types of venoms: neurotoxins are toxins which affect the nervous system; hemotoxins affect the circulatory system, that is the heart and tissues. Cobras are neurotoxic; rattlesnakes are hemotoxic. Some seasnake species have a combination of both. Venomous snakes generally replace their fangs every few weeks or so. Several or more pairs of fangs are continually growing in the top jaws. 500 people per year die in the U.S. from bee stings; 15 or less die from venomous snake bites primarily rattlesnakes. Pit Vipers, such as rattlesnakes, are a class of venomous snakes so named due to a pit between the eye and nose which detects heat from warm blooded prey. The King Cobra is the world's largest venomous snake. The heavyweight of the venomous snakes is the bushmaster.

90. Poisonous Snakes Of Oman This is preferable to making venoms from nonindigenous snakes, because the venomfrom, say, a Sind saw-scaled viper in Oman, may differ significantly from http://www.newsbriefsoman.info/features/poisonous_snakes.htm

Poisonous snakes of Oman By Dr Euan M Scrimgeour Most people associate snakes, scorpions and spiders with painful and possibly dangerous bites or stings, although a few may have actually encountered a dangerous snake. Among rural populations, stories and myths about snakes abound, and many people have misconceptions regarding correct treatment of snakebites. Although it is estimated that several hundred snakebites and perhaps the same number of scorpion stings are sustained every year in Oman, only a handful of individuals suffer serious effects and fatalities are rare. The golden rule is 'Never interfere with or handle snakes or scorpions, unless it is certain they are dead!' Imported antivenoms for both snakebites and scorpion stings (manufactured using venoms from non-indigenous species) are available in larger hospitals, but their efficacy in Oman has never been evaluated. A new programme to develop suitable snake antivenoms for use in Oman, using Omani terrestrial snakes, has recently been initiated by the College of Medicine, Sultan Qaboos University. Snakes The snake has a special significance for the medical profession. Asclepius, a 3rd century AD physician who lived in Greece, was renowned as an outstanding healer, and he was ultimately deified by the Ancient Greeks as their god of medicine. His staff, with a single snake coiled round it, has been adopted worldwide as the symbol of medicine (see logo for the World Health Organisation).

Graphics Version Snakes According to the scientific theory of evolution, snakes developed from lizards about 100 million years ago. They believe that is was because the lizards they came from were burrowing lizards that evolved to get better protection on their eyes and an easier way through tight tunnels. Their limbs were so seldom used that they eventually lost them. However if you believe in creation you may believe that God took the legs from the snake as a punishment for enticing Eve to eat the forbidden fruit in the garden of Eden. The snake is a reptile characterized by its long, legless body. Its skin is covered by scales. Even its eyes are covered by a clear scale so they don't need eyelids and don't have to blink. The body of a snake is very flexible and can twist into a ball to protect itself. The narrow forked tongue brings odors to an organ in the snake's mouth. Snakes belong to the reptile class (Reptilia) and the order Squamata. Within this order is the suborder Serpentes (Ophidia) to which the snakes belong. The 2700 kinds of snakes alive today are divided into families. The first, Colubrids (Colubridae) covers from two thirds to three fourths of all snakes with almost 2000 species. These include garter snakes, rat snakes, and rear fanged snakes.

1 mb MOV movie 1 mb AVI movie Courtesy Pennsylvania Wild Resource Conservation Fund American Pit Vipers The Belled Viper One day recently, Curt Brennan used a stick to part some laurel branches in the mountains of northern Pennsylvania. He knew just what he was looking for. Instantly, a harsh insect-like buzzing filled the air, and what looked like a pile of leaves began to move. More than two dozen timber rattlesnakes were basking in the hazy sunshine, heaped in an area the size of a card table. Twenty years ago, Brennan would have been wading into the melee, snatching snakes with his hook and stuffing them into collecting bags, flushed with the danger and excitement of rattler hunting. But Brennan has undergone a change of heart. Finding that snakes are easily injured by the rough handling they receive in capture and seeing that timber rattlers are disappearing from their former haunts, Brennan has become an eloquent spokesman for the snakes, even writing a book, Rattler Tales from Northcentral Pennsylvania , about his conversion from hunter to advocate.

99. Waglers Viper Page The second Temple viper comes from the famous or infamous Temple of the Azure Thesnakes are said to have inhabited the temple naturally and are reported by http://www.kingsnake.com/viper/history.html

Natural History of the Wagler's Viper Tropidolaemus wagleri By Scott Lacina Tropidolaemus wagleri (common names: Wager's and Temple Viper). Formerly included in the Trimeresurus Genus, it has been placed in its single species Genus due to unique qualities found in scale and venom. T. Wagleri was first described by Boie in 1827 and named after the 19th century German naturalist Wagler, from which one of its common names is derived. The second "Temple Viper" comes from the famous or infamous "Temple of the Azure Cloud", also known as The Snake Temple, a 150 year old temple located now in a bustling city on the island of Penang, off of peninsular Malaysia. The vipers are seen as holy representatives of the deity Chor Soo Kong. Large numbers of wagleri are kept on plants and statues in and around the temple and are handled freely and freehandedly by the temple keepers. The snakes are said to have inhabited the temple naturally and are reported by the keepers not to bite, possibly due to thick clouds of incense burned inside the temple which is said to calm the already mostly lethargic snakes. Tourists are given the opportunity to muster up their nerve and pose for their own souvenir photos holding a handful of the live snakes (fangs removed and heads marked with paint to identify them). It is thought that the snakes bring good luck, and some of the people in the region welcome and keep them in their homes.

According to the new book published in the year 2000 by Leonel Marineros entitled GUIA DE LAS SERPIENTES DE HONDURAS (A FIELD GUIDE TO THE SNAKES OF HONDURAS) Honduras has 106 species of snakes. Only 16 are poisonous enough to cause death in humans. Most snakes are useful since they eat mice, rats, spiders, scorpions and even other poisonous snakes. Snakes are reptiles, cold-blooded vertebrates that breathe by means of lungs, move by creeping or crawling, and usually have skin covered with dry horny plates or scales. The butterfly farm has some snakes on display and by the beginning of the year 2001 should have the display complete. The serpetarium's main purpose will be to educate people on the importance of snakes and learning to cohabitate with them. It will help visitors distinguish between venomous and non-venomous snakes and will be the only public serpetarium on the north coast.
