Product Information

They are hardy snakes that will thrive in captivity with minimal care. Healthy hognoses have long lives, up to 20 years in some cases! They can be fed frozen or preyed on by rats, mice, hamsters, etc., and if properly cared for, Baird’s rat snakes can live up to 12 years in captivity. 13. Kenyan Sand Boa Venemos, also known as venomous caterpillars, are a unique and intriguing species found in various parts of the world. Here are some interesting facts about venemos: However, there are a handful of spiders with venom so potent a single bite can kill a person. Whilst ‘death by spider bite’ does happen, it’s very rare – with an estimated seven human deaths each year– as most clinics and hospitals now have species-specific antivenin (antitoxin) to treat a potentially harmful spider bite correctly. So even though there are some killer spiders on this list, they’re a long way off being the most dangerous animals in the world.

There are many different snakes out there and they can vary in some pretty wild and unique ways you might not be aware of. Interesting facts about snakes 1. What do snakes eat? Spider venom has evolved to paralyse and kill smaller animals than humans, and most spiders are either too small to be able to puncture human skin, or not aggressive enough to attempt it. For those spiders that are able to bite humans, the majority rarely cause injuries more significant than a mosquito bite. These are more about sharing knowledge so people can take care of their own and educating people about snakes," she says.Rough green snake is native to the eastern United States and Central America. They have also been introduced into countries in southern Europe, Africa, and Asia.

The anthill python, or the pygmy python, is the first python in this list. Its name gives away the fact that it’s small for a python, although like all pythons, it’s a heavy-bodied snake. This species is the smallest member of the python family, and is often found on anthills and termite mounds.But it is not always effective and can require large amounts of antivenom as the number of antibodies in each dose can be low. This fear is perhaps well founded. There are around 2.8 million cases of snake bites in India each year and 50,000 deaths. In the past two decades, more than 1.2 million people have died from snake bites in India alone, according to one recent analysis. Globally snake bites are thought to cause between 81,000 and 138,000 deaths each year, according to some estimates. This pattern looks like that of a rattlesnake to the untrained eye. But hognoses are much smaller than rattlesnakes, and are non-venomous. Like pythons, these snakes use constriction to kill prey instead. Sometimes they go away, sometimes we end up getting bit," says 48-year-old Rao about the snakes they encounter when working in the fields.
