Snakes

Elongate, legless, carnivorous reptiles, not many snakes hunt humans, but as several species are venomous they can still be lethal if disturbed or threatened. Snakes vary greatly in size but commonly appear with camouflage colors to blend in with the environment. Snakes are solitary creatures but can be found in larger gatherings during mating season.

Snakes can adapt to most habitats, but their cold-blooded bodies require daily access to heat for the snake to survive. They are most common in lush jungles but can also be found in forests, steppes, mountains and deserts.

Constrictor
A Constrictor snake is not venomous but instead strangles its prey by encircling it with its body. Constrictors are larger than other types of snake and some species reach 9 meters in length. Constrictors are only found in jungle or humid temperate areas where the lush greenery gives them cover to hide.

Viper
A Viper is a very fast, venomous snake. It is more common in dry areas, such as deserts, steppes and mountain regions. Its venom is very painful and can sometimes be deadly.

Water snakes
Despite the name water snakes do not spend their lives in water but rather close to and surrounding water. They are common in temperate or tropical areas and are very venomous. Their poison attack the nervous system and can cause severe brain injury, blindness or death.
