Recently I was asked to gather a few facts about snakes  for a upcoming website, http://www.snakeremovals.com and I thought it would be nice to also share them in my blog here.

Snakes belong to the order reptilia-the reptiles and belong to the suborder Serpentes or Ophidia and worldwide number in about 27,000 species. Unlike other parts of the world here in North America few of our species are venomous as compared to Asia and Australia which feature some of the most deadliest snakes in the world.

All snakes have a scaly, shiny skin which helps them from drying out or desiccating in dry environments. This is an advantage that has allowed the species to evolve on dry land and breaking their ancestral ties to water like their earlier ancestors.

There are many different kinds of snakes common to all of North America. Very few of them are poisonous or venomous but many of us let our human nature get to us and fail to see the actual beauty in these slithering creatures.

Unfortunately for snakes they are often loathed and rarely appreciated. The sudden appearance of a snake  in someone’s backyard or in a garage , car or even there home often causes immediate alarm.

Snakes attack or kill for only two reasons one is for food and the other is out of fear. Many who lack experience with snakes will quickly find they have the ability to make your own heart beat faster out of fear even though the target snake may be a defenseless, scared snake as well.

If you ever visit a reptile House in a zoo, You will quickly realize that the lizards are prettier, frogs more active and the turtles more amusing but the snake is always draws the largest crowds. Snakes can simply  just sit there and do very little to draw amusement and this is done by a animal with out legs and just sticks out its flickering tongue.  Whatever the reason for attraction snakes are the most hated, misunderstood mysteries of our animal world.
