High blood pressure symptoms, signs and risks. High blood pressure, or hypertension, doesnât usually cause any obvious symptoms. The British Heart Foundation estimates that up to 5 million people in the UK have undiagnosed high blood pressure. Left untreated, hypertension can lead to serious diseases, including stroke, heart disease, kidney failure and eye problems.
Ringneck Snake (Diadophis punctatus) Description: Ringneck snakes are small -- 10 - 15 in (25 - 38 cm) -- slender snakes that are generally grayish with a yellow or orange band around the back of the neck and a yellow or orange underside. Two subspecies are found in our region.
Anacondas grow to lengths of around 20 to 30 feet long. They can weigh over 500 pounds and their bodies can have a diameter of up to a foot thick. This makes them the largest snake in the world. They are not quite the longest, however, just the most massive. The longest snake is the Reticulated Python. The scales of the Anaconda are olive green to greenish-brown with black spots along the top of the body.
