Guestbook Infosite about Morelia viridis, Python regius, Venomous snakes and Dasypeltis scabra Usual Dasypeltis Scabra Family: Colubridae (adder). The dasypeltis scabra is a medium sized kind of adder snakes. There are 6 different types. She measures a length up to 1 m. All she eats are bird eggs and lives hided to be protected against big birds and mammals. Dasypeltis scabra does not have any usable teeth that’s why she is not poisonous. She looks like the poisonous saw-scaled viper but is harmless. She can also make noises like the saw-scaled viper but if her attacker does not get scared all she can do is flee. Distribution: The usual dasypeltis scabra lives in Africa, southern of the Sahara. Living area/living style: The dasypeltis scabra lives in the opened forest areas, savannas, half deserts and in bushes. Although there are a lot of them it is really hard to see one. Keeping/ Care: The usual dasypeltis scabra does not necessarily need a hibernation. Daytime she needs a temperature up to 30°C. At night the temperature drops down to 25°C. In the period November to February the temperature should drop about 3°C. In this period the snakes do not eat at all. Humidity: The adders should be kept usually in a dry climate. To sprinkle a little water in a corner once a week is enough. But a bowl with always fresh water is necessary. The lighting time should be about 12 hours.

The people who ring us up are often quite distressed Jim Foster, English Nature That means more encounters with people, and more people upset and frightened by what they see. English Nature, the government's wildlife advisers, have published a guide to identify reptiles and reassure the anxious. They expect even more snakes to be out and about once the weather breaks and rain returns. English Nature's enquiry service has been busier than usual with reported reptile sightings since the hot weather began, but says about 95% of calls are a case of mistaken identity. Don't panic The organisation's reptile specialist, Jim Foster, said: "We appreciate that some people are terrified when they first see a snake in the garden, but there is rarely anything to be truly worried about.

Now it is quite rare, because of loss of habitat and food. In October 2001, over 140 grass snakes, many being juveniles, were found in warm places in the Dilke Hospital, Gloucester. The name natrix refers to the grass snake's ability to swim, which it performs well, with a sinuous motion. Grass snake often live near water, and frogs figure strongly in their diet. Click

Within this family are the most deadly snakes in the world, including, Cobras ( Naja spp.), Coral Snakes ( Micruroides ), and Mambas (e.g. Dendroaspis ). It is only within the Australian continent that this family dominates the snake fauna. Elsewhere in the world, Colubrids are the dominant snakes. Convergent evolution in the Australian elapidae, when compared to snakes in other places is obvious. Small innocuous lizard eating species such as Whip snakes ( e.g. Genera Demansia, Unechis

Snakes In Redwall Alignment: Evil Appearance: Snakes look like snakes in our world. They aren't bipedal because they don't have legs and they don't wear clothes. Life Span: Snakes, or at least Asmodeus, live quite a long time. Diet: Small mammals Habitat: Caves and caverns; tunnels Typical Personality: Snakes may or may not be sentient. In Redwall , the adder Asmodeus was sentient- and cold-blooded and deadly evil, as well. But he was the only snake in the series to say anything- the others could simply be dumb animals for all we know. Outside Redwall Classification: Species: Vipera berus Other Names: European adder; viper Appearance: The adder is small and stout with a zigzag pattern on its back. It rarely grows long than two feet. Diet: The adder uses its venom to catch its prey, which are usually small mammals and lizards. Habitat: Vipers are typically found in heathland and moorland but can also be found in grasses and scrubs. Typical Personality: Vipers are very timid and will usually flee rather than attack attackers, but will bite in defense if they have to. Habits: Adders hibernate in the winter.

17. ON MELANISTIC TENDENCIES IN DEATH ADDERS, ACANTHOPHIS ANTARCTICUS (SHAW). snakes. Many death adders held by myself are heated and hence the correlation betweenheating and colour darkening appears obvious, however, one death adder ( http://www.smuggled.com/addmel1.htm

What follows is a text only (no italics) version. Introduction. The author has held a number of death adders since late 1978. All 12 death adders involved in my Acanthophis antarcticus studies, are from the Sydney district and consist of 7 red phase and 5 grey phase snakes. Three of these snakes of the grey phase have had their colours become considerably darker, approaching a dark grey black in colour. It is interesting to note that no red phase death adders showed any melanistic tendencies. It is also interesting to note that not all grey death adders held by myself have melanistic tendencies. It should be noted that the three grey death adders with melanistic tendencies are the largest and most heavily built three, though definitely not the oldest three grey death adders held by myself. Various reasons have been postulated for the melanistic tendencies in the three death adders concerned. I have reservations about all reasons except for the fact that some feature of captivity does induce it. 1. Heating of snakes. Many death adders held by myself are heated and hence the correlation between heating and colour darkening appears obvious, however, one death adder (AAA-2) experienced maximum darkening whilst unheated for over 12 months. Thus this conclusion appears doubtful.

The females grow up to 80. cm long and are usually brown coloured. Adders have two stripes on the head that are often crossed. Their pupil is chink formed (vertical). They live on extensive moorlands and in open woodvegetations with a lot of vegetationtransitions. There has to be enough sun and shelter. Terrains with a transition from dry to moist are preferable. Smooth snake Coronella austriaca Status Limburg: vulnerable Status The Netherlands: threatened Dialect name: "Gladderik" (Venray) The Smooth snake is a 75 cm. long, brown, grey-red snake. The skin is covered with small, smooth scales that give the snake a smooth look. Both males as females have a dark spot on the head that splits to the neck.

These include the carpet python, common tree snake, keelback, yellow-faced whip snake, white-crowned snake, and small-eyed snake. Most common species reported are the carpet python, common tree snake, and yellow-faced whip snake. Habitat alteration and the introduction of pests have meant that the distributions of many species have changed. Nowadays, snakes can be found in almost any suburban backyard and even in the city centre. Of these dangerous snakes, the eastern brown snake is now the only species regularly found in Brisbane suburbs. The others are uncommon or absent in most parts. Eastern brown snakes are reasonably common at the mouth of the Brisbane River and west of Indooroopilly. Red- bellied black snakes have become very rare since the introduction of the cane toad. Snakes are protected against over-exploitation by the Nature Conservation Act and cannot be taken from the wild. Keeping a snake requires a licence from the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service.
