Cool fact's about snakes.
How they are born
When some snakes are born, their eggs aren't guarded. If they survive and hatch then, they stay with their Mom for about a week. Some snake's usually even give birth to live young. A boa's baby could be 64 2-ft (60-cm)long. When a king cobra is born, it could already defend itself. Snakes born in the wild can't survive in captivity because they have a different way of regulating their body temperature.
Snake dangers
We never see venomous snakes, but we just assume they are because of the king cobra, and rattle snakes.The majority of these snakes are harmless. Snakes also usually stay away from bigger things like us. Snakes are closely related to turtles and tortoise, or the reptiles. They ones that are not venomuos might rattle their tails to make you stay away. So if you hear a rattle, just leave the snakes alone, it could be venomous.
Not all snakes are blind. Some have good eye sites. All snakes can feel pain; feel stretches in their skin and temperature.
Snakes don't have ears. They sense the vibration in the ground instead. This makes less human and snake encounter. We kill more snakes then they killing us. We kill them out of fear, and for their skins.</font>
