Snakes have beautiful scales and eyes and use venom mainly to kill prey. Venom is produced in salivary glands and injected through hollow fangs into prey's flesh. While snakes have poor vision, they can detect movement and smell with their tongue, picking up chemical cues about potential prey. Their skin has two layers - a soft dermis containing nerves and pigment, and outer scales made of hard keratin that protect the snake and are shed regularly.

SNAKES! Arent they cool? Their beautiful scales, their eyes, their fangslets learn more about these fascinating but misunderstood animals. 2
Most snakes are non venomous. Venomous snakes mainly use it to kill prey.
Snake venom is produced in the back of the snakes head in the salivary glands. When a snake bites, muscles in the head squeeze the salivary glands. This pushes the liquid through its fangs and into the flesh of prey. The fangs are hollow and like injection needles that go under skin.
As for hunting methods Snakes are able to smell with their tongue, it picks up chemical Information about the prey. 5
Some snakes like pit vipers, boas and pythons have heat vision. They can detect changes in the heat of the environment, such as body heat of the prey, even in complete darkness.
They generally have deficits in distance and color perception but an amazing ability to detect movement. 7
Snake skin is made up of 2 main layers. The soft colored tissue is called the dermis. Dermis is filled with nerves and pigments. 8
Scales, the second layer of snakeskin, is much harder than the dermis and made of keratin. This part is used as a shield to protect the animal. It is also shed regularly. 9
THANK YOU For listening about this fascinating but misunderstood animal.
