Genesis 3:14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life

i take it you are looking other places and not just going on the childish response's on here.

p.s mine can walk :lol2:

 

spoil sport:bash: ill be sensible then i spose....

Snake’s scales are made up of something called Keratin, which is the same thing that our fingernails are made from.

 

Isn't the idea that you research the facts yourself, or is that just my old fashioned view of education?

This does NOT count as research.

 

How does this not count as research? :S she's asking us snake gods for facts and the mighty knowledge we have about snakes...it's a primary source :2thumb:

 

The majority of snakes have a wide field vision of 125 degrees,however most pythons such as afrocks have 135 degrees. They also have binocular vision, which allows them to appreciate distance and perceive depth. This is due to an overlap of the field vision of the left and the right eye. This overlap normally averages 30 % However in the genus Ahaetulla it is about 45 %.

Snakes have round or vertically slit pupils. The only exceptions are the genera Ahaetulla, Thelotornis and Dryophiops. In these snakes the pupils are horizontally slit and formed like a keyhole. The so shaped pupil has the slot of the keyhole pointing forward well beyond the lens, thereby creating an extensive lenseless space. During accommodation the lens moves not only forward, but also more strongly nasally than in other snakes .

This is supported by a groove between eye and tip of the snout, which serves to widen the ankle towards the middle.
So the genus Ahaetulla is that with the best distance appreciation of all snake genera.
The members of all of the genera with horizontally slit eyes are diurnal and arboreal. They are ambushers, which means, they sit and wait until suitable food crosses their way. They normally feed on lizards, a very fast moving food. So these anatomically features seem to be adoptions to the nutrition and environment: The snakes have to hunt fast moving, dayactive lizards, that are living in a three dimensional space.

Also many snakes' species lack the ability to focus by changing shape of the lens. Instead they move the lens back and forward as a camera. This allows for limited focusing ability.

sometimes you make me horny

 

fact:
snakes are awesome! this measure of awesomeness can't be measured using standard awesomeness units, so they've had to come up with a whole new scale (pun not intended originally, but what the heck).

other uses for this new scale of awesomeness was measuring the awesomeness of Chuck Norris (who is nearly as awesome as snakes, but not quite). Arnold, however, came out in a tie with them.

You could open the can of worms that is;
What is the worlds largest snake
What is the worlds most venomous snake
:whistling2:

Anaconda is the longest, Reticulated Python is the Heaviest, Inland Taipan is the most toxic and BLack Mamba is the most aggressive.

you got that bit kinda back to front....

 

Great thread :2thumb:
Now i can astound my mates [or bore them stupid] about my knowledge of snakes : victory:

 

DEFINITION OF RESEARCH​

In the broadest sense of the word, the definition of research includes any gathering of data, information and facts for the advancement of knowledge.​

corrct me if i'm wrong but isn't this what she is doing? and we all know how conflicting the internet can be for good facts.​

 

This is why I'm marrying you :flrt:

 

snakes have about 100 - 110 teeth :2thumb:

 

More like between 30 and around 200 really. Depends on the specie.

 

The fastest moving land snake is the Black Mamba, which can move up to 7 miles per hour.

The fastest snake is said to be the black mamba

Nice to see you've done your research mate :whistling2: :lol2:

 

i myself am just learning , and have found this site one of the best for help and info from its users, what i can tell you that i have discovered for myself is that snakes are expensive to keep in shoes and trainers

 

Forget Harry Potter ....this shit has just made for a much more exciting read!! Plenty of drama and abuse!! BBC Three tackle.. (yes I have read the Harry Potter books but in fairness to me it was whilst being held at gun point by a group of angry children who some of whom I now suspect were elderly midgets wearing very convincing masks)

 

The fastest snake is said to be the black mamba


reticulated pythons - are the known longest snake at about 23.5-24ft(actual proof and not exaggerations or bull) This was something that i have been researching for years and with all the information that i could find i could not find any proof of a big snake over 25ft. They are the jack of all trades being able to climb and swim and have been seen far out at sea.

Green anacondas- Are the heaviest in comparison to any snake at the same length and are able to bite from behind. In breeding several males can try mate with the female at once and there are actually rarely any fights at all between males when this takes place. They have the largest sexual dimorphism of any species.

Green anacondas cannot strike from behind? You would be right if you had stated that anacondas are the only snake that can strike side ways but your loop the loop striking theory is wrong. This evolution probably has something to do with the perception of prey from underwater...who knows : victory:

 

people are just so bitchy nowadays

some ae the more primitive snakes, like pythons n boas still have the vestiges of a pelvic girdle as part ae their skeleton, and have small claws/spurs which are believed to be remnants of hind legs which were lost after god punished mr snakey to crawl on his belly for all his days....or evolution....whichever one is the truth

 

can you's not do this over pm or something a dont care if ryan has a mad stalker and yous want to have a lovers tiff over it...thats your business

but....

everytime a post like this gets put up it turns into a slagging match
and tbh its just no fair on the OP is it.....

 

it was a snake that tricked eve into giving adam a pumpkin, thus damning us all

 

To putting candles inside pumpkins on halloween?

 

What blademaster said but I was unaware other snakes could do that, still the common theme runs of aquatic/semi aquatic species?

 

where's ViperLover got to ? he had some interesting facts :whistling2:

 

he was on that cative bred forum seen him on there a few times he has built himself the same rep he had on here on there lol
