Snake Identification By Characteristics

What characteristics identify each type of chemical reaction?

Think of these reactions as being dancing couples ("compounds") or single dancers ("elements")

DC
dancer + dancer = dancing couple (maybe true love will bloom??)

D
dancing couple = dancer + dancer (song is over and they each go for a snack!)

SR
dancing couple + dancer = New dancing couple + dancer (someone stole your partner - RATS!!)

DR
couple + couple + NEW couple + new couple (like square dancing - everyone always has a partner, they just change around)

Now... let's try yours
a) looks like they'd like to dance!! = DC
b) someone is about to steal away a partner = SR
c) everyone still wants to dance = DR
d) boo hoo - we're breaking up = D

Good luck!

What are the defining characteristics of snake eggs?

Generally, the probability of snake eggs dying is high, that's because their shell is leathery, not tough. Turning and rolling over theses eggs can just injure or even kill the embryo on the inside. The time required for snake eggs to hatch, differs with its breed. Most snake eggs hatch in around 60 days (around 8.6 weeks/ a little over 2 months). Here is a video for seeing if the snake embryos are dead or living:If you meant indenifying the egg and snake kind, a helpful video is below:

What characteristics define poisonous snakes?

Vipers have a “diamond” shaped head with a jaw that sticks out at an angle and is much wider than the neck. They are a type of snake that has one of the most deadly poisons. This is a picture of a cottonmouth, also referred to as water moccasin. They are common in southern US and we have them around the artificial lakes in Oklahoma.

What are the characteristics of coral snakes?

The coral snake population is more dense in the Southeast united States. They have been spotted as far north as Kentucky. The Arizona coral snake is a separate species and genus and is found in central and southern Arizona, extreme southwestern new Mexico and southward to Sinaloa in western Mexico. Latin nane for southeastern type is Micrurus tenertener, they show characteristic red yellow black banding pattern. While generally shy and nonconfrontational, the snakes nuero toxic venom can produce pain and even death. The heads of the snake are always black. They can grow to at most 30″ and are slender snakes. Another interesting fact is unlike pit vipers their fangs do not flatten against their mouths so when they bite the longer they hang on the more venom they secrete from glands adjacent to its teeth. They have many look alike’s and best rule is always to leave snakes alone and leave where they are and they will do the same. Please refrain from killing snakes. It is actually illegal in many states and I'll leave that your responsibility to find out as I feel I have done someone's homework assignment already.

Does apollo have any distinctive characteristics?

Apollo is not connected with two snakes. The god who bears as staff with two snakes, known as the Caduceus, is Hermes, equated with the Roman god Mercury.

Apollo appears first in surviving works him Homer's “Iliad” as god of plague, a god of archery, and a god of prophecy, and a god of lyre music.

He may be a variant of an earlier god of the bow, Compare for example the Hindu god known as Shiva or Rudra or the Norse god Ullr who are also gods of the bow.

Apollo is often pictured as a young man, just past puberty. Her carries a silver bow. Apollo is a hunter and a cattle-herder. And he, like Shiva, is the god of philosophy. He often carries a lyre and plays on it and dances with the Muses. He is hostile to flute music. Presumably this is because stringed musical instruments derive from the bow. He is often called “Phoebus” which means “Shining”.

As god of plague, he would naturally be a god who averted plague, and so also a god of healing. This aspect of Apollo is what is more stressed in later tales.

Apollo was also associated with the sun in later religious belief, but in mythological tales the sun is an entirely different god named Helios. Helios and Apollo both share a connection to cattle, but otherwise are not much alike. Helios is a charioteer, while Apollo is never connected with chariots. In Latin texts Sol, the Latin name for Helios, is often called by the Greek title “Phoebus” meaning “shining” also a title of Apollo. However they are still quite different.

Poets often referred to the sun as Phoebus in his car or chariot, but never called this being Apollo. But by Victorian times many authors and professor had wrongly equated the two, relying on late religious identification as though it were the same as mythological identification. But in later times, there was an increasing tendency to identify all gods with the sun, including Zeus/Jupiter, Dionysus and the Egyptian god Osiris and the Tyrian Hercules.

Apollo was equated with the Phoenician god Reshpu/Resheph, a god of war, hunting, and the plague. He was equated with the Egyptian god Horus. And he was equated with the Celtic god Maponos/Mabon son of Matronis/Modron, the “Great Son” the son of the “Great Mother”. But the Hindu Shiva/Rudra was apparently too wild to be equated with Apollo, and was usually identified with Dionysus.

What two characteristics make mammals unique from other vertebrates?

They have mammary glands, and also have three middle ear bones. The three middle ear bones are so reliable for identification of mammals that if a fossil is found with 3 middle ear bones then it is automatically classed as a mammal.

Fishy: I would disagree with the live birth as a unique characteristics; some snakes, sharks, and even some nematodes give birth to live young. And monotremes (a type of mammal) lay eggs.

I do agree with the fur though. Some other unique characteristics include sweat glands and the diaphragm.

Can you give me some characteristics of venomous and non venomous snakes?

One cannot simply give characteristics of venomous snake and non venomous snakes because it is different from one another.if u take a cobra (venomous) is highly aggressive like other vipers and mamba but where as krait is not that aggressive, pythons are aggressive though they are non venomousbut if u want to distinguish venomous from non venomous snakes in India, i think i can help.in India there are four venomous snakes that cause human deaths and due to that they refer them as BIG FOUR they arecobraRussel’s vipersaw scaled viperKraitcobras can be easily identified because of their hoods, Russel’s viper and saw scaled vipers can be identified with their triangular heads and kraits are somewhat difficult to identify but these can be identified with their paired white bands.Other venomous snakes are sea snakes and coral snakes and these can be identified through their long bands usually very colourfull snake. if u see some sea and coral snake pics in google pics u can easily identify themother venous snakes either belong to cobra family, vipers family or Krait family they are King cobra, Monocellate cobra, Malabar pit viper, bamboo pit viper,many banded krait, sind krait, hill krait etc……King CobraSpectacular CobraMonocled Cobra or Monocellate CobraRussell’s ViperSaw Scaled ViperBamboo Pit ViperMalabar Pit ViperCommon KraitMany Banded KraitCoral SnakesSea Snakesif u want to know more visit http://www.indiansnakes.orglet me give a piece of advice to never approach a snake without any knowledge and experience. it can be fatalIf u saw a snake give it some space it will flee away with in no time.

What are the major characteristics of a viper snake?

per: Vipers: The Notorious, Venomous, Long-Fanged SnakesVipers (Viperidae) are a group of snakes known for their long fangs and venomous bite. Vipers include true vipers, bush vipers, rattlesnakes, pit vipers, adders and night adders.The fangs of vipers are long and hollow and enable the snake to inject venom into animals that it bites. Venom is produced by and stored in glands located at the back of the snake's upper jaw. When the snake's mouth is closed, the fangs recede into a thin membrane and fold against the roof of the snake's mouth.When a viper bites its victim, the bones of the jaw rotate and flex so that the mouth opens at a wide gape angle and the fangs unfold at the last moment. When the snake bites down, muscles that encase the venom glands contract, squeezing venom out through ducts in the fangs and into their prey.Vipers have triangular-shaped head (this shape accommodates the venom glands at the back of the jaw). Most vipers are slender to stout-bodied snakes with a short tail. Most species have eyes with elliptical pupils that can open wide or close down very narrowly. This enables the snakes to see in a wide range of light conditions.. Some vipers have keeled scales (scales with a ridge in their center) while others have smooth scales.Like most snakes, vipers appear not to care for young after hatching. Most species of vipers give birth to live young but there are a few species that lay eggs.The Viperinae, also known as the Old World vipers, are short and stocky snakes. They have a wide, triangular head and rough, keeled scales. Their coloration is dull or cryptic providing them with good camouflage. Most members of this group give birth to live young.Pit vipers are distinct from other vipers due to a pair of heat-sensitive pits located on either side their face between the eyes and nostrils. Pit vipers include the world's largest viper, the bushmaster, a snake native to Central and South American rainforests. The bushmaster can grow as long as 10 feet.Of all vipers, the rattlesnakes are among the most easily recognized. Rattlesnakes have a rattle-like structure at the end of their tail formed out of old layers of the terminal scale that do not fall off when the snake molts. When shaken, the rattle serves as a warning signal to other animals.

How do I identify poisonous and non poisonous snakes in India?

Every region has a particular number of species of snakes. And the venomous snakes comprise of a tiny fraction of it. Most of the land snakes are non-venomous. However, a few are venomous and very few deadly..They are commonly called the Big 4.They are:Indian CobraCommon KraitRussell's ViperSaw scaled Viper.Though there are a few more, but the highest number of deaths in the Indian Subcontinent has been reported of these.Let’s go through the pecularities of the Big 4 one by one.Indian Cobra: Commonly known as “Naag”, is the most dangerous of all because it lives in areas with frequent human interaction. Its pecularity lies in the hood. The adult is about 1.5–2 meters long.Common Krait: Another dangerous player with probably the most toxic venom in the Indian subcontinent. Being Gujju, I can only tell you the local name of it which is, “Kalotaro” in Gujarati. It has a special white strips at regular intervals with a small head. Neck might not be evident, but the body is almost perfectly cylindrical with tapering towards the tail. They are about 1 meter long.Russell's Viper: They have a triangular face with a slightlu evident neck. Also because of their large nostrils, it may seem like they may have 4 eyes. Another pecularity is in the design of theirs scales.Saw Scaled Vipers: Jst like their name suggests, they have scales which look like saw a bit. Again a triangular, large, distinct head which has very large eyeballs. You can identify it by the colour and the design of the scales pretty easily. It looks like:P.S.: These aren’t the ONLY four, but rather they are the MAJOR four. There are other species of venoumous snakes too..

How can you identify if a black snake with grey rings is venomous?

Black snake with gray rings??? Not very much to go by… On what continent is it found? In what type of habitat? There are many different types of black snakes with rings. I would be unable to hazard even a guess without knowing much more.That said, I hear a quick estimate can be made by observing a few noticeable features: the pupils, the nostrils, the under scales on its belly, and the presence or absence of a “pit” on its face.Here is a short video explaining those things. But, as I am very near-sighted, and mostly afraid (I have been brave in removing them for others.) of them, I don't ever want to get close enough to differentiate.
