I like to chat about Snake
Me too! Snakes are elongated, legless, and carnivorous reptiles!
Snakes are able to live in a wide spectrum of habitats. They can live in trees or in water
Cool! They are also ectothermic, amniote vertebrates too.
All snakes are carnivores which means they eat other living things
All of them? I would've thought some might be omnivores but i guess it makes sense that they're all carnivorous reptiles.
Yes, All of them. They all feature a tongue that is forked which allows them to pick up scent all around them
I always wondered what the forked tongue is for! In addition, their organs are in front of each other instead of side to side to accommodate for the lack of space.
And you know, even though they all have many unique characteristics about them, there are quite a few similarities
Snake
Snakes are elongated, legless, carnivorous reptiles of the suborder Serpentes. Like all other squamates, snakes are ectothermic, amniote vertebrates covered in overlapping scales. Many species of snakes have skulls with several more joints than their lizard ancestors, enabling them to swallow prey much larger than their heads with their highly mobile jaws. To accommodate their narrow bodies, snakes' paired organs (such as kidneys) appear one in front of the other instead of side by side, and most have only one functional lung. Some species
like all snakes, are carnivorous. Their diet consists of almost any creature they are capable of overpowering: slugs, earthworms (nightcrawlers, as red wigglers are toxic to garter snakes), leeches, lizards, amphibians (including frog eggs), minnows, and rodents. When living near water, they will eat other aquatic animals. The ribbon snake ("Thamnophis sauritus") in particular favors frogs (including tadpoles), readily eating them despite their strong chemical defenses. Food is swallowed whole. Garter snakes often adapt
