As some snakes have been seen by almost everyone, others due to nature has decided to remain unseen by the majority.

  Do you like dragons? Well, the spiny Bush Viper is a rare combination of both snakes and dragons, since it has dorsal scales located in such a way that they give it a bristly and somewhat fierce appearance similar to that of a small dragon and lives in the central Africa’s rainforests where it’s possible to find it sunbathing on the leaves and bushes.

Sometimes the colors of their scales can be of different tonalities, such as blue, brown or green. On the other hand, the males can reach a greater length of up to twenty eight point seven inches long. The spiny Bush viper eats small mammals and lizards, which are hunted by itself using the ambush technique. This amazing climber usually uses its tail to hang from the branches when it ambushes and hunt its prey that are exactly below for human beings. The bites of the spiny Bush viper are deadly if they don’t go to a first aid center.

In addition, some people have died as a result of internal bleeding caused by its potent venom.

The striking orange snake with dark circles becomes much more colorful when it’s in contact with sunlight. It scales have ripples that bounce sunlight and make its skin have an irritating sheen. For that reason, many compare it with a rainbow. The rainbow boa lives in the forests of South America and can be found climbed in trees. It can measure more than six point five feet in length and has as its main source of food the small mammals and reptiles that are killed by constriction that is wrapping their prey in suffocating them.

After that, they swallow them completely, starting at the head, causing its digestion to take between four and 10 days. 

 you just have to see it slide in the sky so that you understand why it’s called flying snake, you can fly. But wait, wait, wait. If you look carefully, you’ll realize that more than flying, it slides in the air. That wasn’t flying, that was falling with style. What it really does is to jump from the tree branches and glide.

Now you must be wondering how an animal without wings does to glide, right? Well, at the time of the jump, the flying snake spreads its ribs and contracts the abdomen, which creates a slight concavity in the lower part of its body that helps it remain airborne longer. If at that moment you chop the snake, you would realize that its shape resembles the curvature of a boomerang. On the other hand, this snake gives the impression of being swimming in the air when it begins to twist its body in full flight.

What’s more, it’s able to change direction. So if you want to see it fly, you’ll have to visit it in Southeast Asia. But never fear, because although it’s venomous, it’s toxicity does not affect the human being. So don’t worry if it lands on your head.

This snake hunts in a very special way. I have my own subtle ways.

Do you see this spider? Well, it’s not what it seems. This viper was discovered in 1968 is part of a scientific expedition to western Iran. Thus, the first specimen was delivered to the Field Museum of Natural History at Chicago, where scientists initially thought that this snake had a spider of the older solar Fungai attached to its tail. Sometime after this theory was ruled out and it was not on its tail, had a tumor caused by parasites.

It wasn’t until two thousand three the year in which a second specimen was found when it was determined that this was one of the few snakes that used a part of its body as bait to lure prey closer at the hunting time, the snake moves its spider shaped tail in such a way that it seems to have a life of its own. And if that wasn’t enough, the face of this snake is not so much nice either. It’s hideous. This is because its face is covered with circular scales shaped like warts.

All this makes it so it can become camouflaged well with the surrounding terrain, pretending to be like any other rock. 

 This is the smallest snake in the world, and it inhabits forests of the paradisiacal Caribbean island of Barbados, the longest specimen found of this family measures just four point zero nine inches in length. Moreover, in the social networks circulates an amazing picture of this snake on a quarter dollar coin with a diameter of point nine five inches.

The discoverer of this little species was Stephen Blair Hedges, who, in honor of his wife named Carla, gave it the scientific name of leptons flops. Carl, according to Hedges, the thread snake is as wide as a spaghetti noodle. Due to its small size, it can only feed on a diet of termites and ant larva.

 This snake is rare because it has a crushed pig like nose, it lives in areas with dry soils, pine forests and grasslands in eastern North America and some parts of southern Canada. There it feeds on mice, small reptiles, toads and frogs. On the other side, its rear teeth inject a toxic substance that, well, it affects its prey is not lethal to humans, although it does cause swelling.

These teeth also serve it to deflate the body of the toads and eat the better. What’s more, it can even eat toxic amphibians without being affected by its venom. Poor little ones. They don’t have that defense mechanism anymore.

I don’t know what to do next. As if this weren’t enough, this snake also has a rare behavior. When it meets humans at the beginning, it’ll rise as a cobra does. And will his. However, if it continues feeling in danger, it’ll simply attack, but without biting, just giving headings, if the fear still continues, it’ll pretend to have a seizure and will lie on its back as if it were dead. Such a manipulative won an Oscar for its amazing performance.

 Contrary to what you can assume by its name, the blue coral snake is a terrestrial animal and its denomination refers to its pretty intense color. The blue coral snake enjoys being on the ground, especially in the accumulations of fallen leaves of the trees it inhabits in Southeast Asia, the islands of Borneo, Sumatra, Java and on the peninsula of Malacca. The spread of its venom glands is a rarity in itself. In most vipers, these glands are only located in the back of the mouth, whereas in the blue coral, snake venom glands extend over a quarter of the length of its body.

In addition, it feeds on other venomous snakes, which increases the danger of its venom. A bit in person will experience numbness in the wound area and on the lips. After that, the venom will block the neurotransmitters, which will cause muscle paralysis, followed by respiratory arrest and death. So you better run while you can.

Spitting is a serious business and more if it’s the red spitting cobra, absolutely beautiful snake.

If a human makes it feel threatened, it’ll extend the skin around its head and will hiss if the human doesn’t retreat.

It may spray jets of venom to the face of the human until he goes blind.

It’s easy to recognize this type of cobra since its body is red with a black band around the head, although there are specimens with an orange body beside it lives in East Africa, from Egypt to Kenya, and it likes to hide in the burrows of termites, old logs and weeds. The red spitting cobra reaches up to four point nine feet.

Like all snakes, it usually eats frogs and rodents, although it’s also a cannibal, since the adult snakes can eat their young. For this reason, young snakes of this species have a diurnal behavior so that they cannot be eaten by the adult snakes that have a nocturnal behaviour. 

 This snake is one of the most venomous in the world. Furthermore, not happy with that. It has a rather malevolent appearance for its black jaws. It lives in sub-Saharan Africa and likes to eat small chickens and rodents eat.

Bon appetit. In addition, the Black Mamba measures between six point six feet and nine point eight feet. In short, it’s longer than a human being, so it’s practically impossible to escape if it takes the decision to bite you when it perceives a threat or detects a human in less than one hundred thirty feet. It stands up, shows its jaws, sticks out its tongue and hisses. On the other hand, whenever it attacks, it jumps over its enemy and delivers a series of bites.

That is why, due to the length of the Black Mamba, most bites on humans occur from the waist up. The most critical thing is that the victim only has 45 minutes to reach an antidote before collapsing. California Red cited garter snake, it’s one of the most colorful snakes in the world, the California red garter snake has three blue stripes and among them a pattern formed by black spots on a reddish background. These characteristics make it different from its relative.
