Be Careful Around Snakes!

A snake is a long Non-bonded reptile with no eyelids, with a short tough and tail. And three inches of venomous sharp jaws.

When a venomous snakes bite you with it’s fangs the venom inside it will be released and go into the body or the thing it has bitten. Then the venom will spread around the body. Snakes can also spit out venom from the tip of the fang, there is a tiny hole.

There are a lot of venomous snakes. There is the Pacific Coral Snake, Rattle Snake, Viper Eye and the King Cobra which is the most venomous. These snakes often live in the warm  waters of the world and hot places like the desert. There are only three hundred venomous snakes in the world.

Only carnivore snakes can get venom.Venom comes from animals they eat, it can come from the heart. So each time any snakes eat something they get more venom. The more they eat, the more they produce venom in their body. The venom goes into the middle of their body then mixes with the blood. After the venom will travel through the veins and into the jaws. That's how the some snakes are venomous.

The good thing about snakes is, when you take the venom from the snake, and pour it into a cup, that's when you get a little bit of water then mix one way properly, it is called antidote.  This is can be good for people who got bitten by venomous snakes.

Also when a vegetarian snake bites you, like a Green Tree Snake it will hurt but no venom will spread.
