[pest] Control FAQ
How do I tell the difference between a venomous and non-venomous snake?
North American venomous snakes have:
Cat-like eyes with slits
Colorful pattern (though not always)
Heat-sensing pits near the nose and eyes
Broad, triangular head
Loud rattle (rattlesnakes only)
What is the difference between a coral snake and a King snake?
King snakes are usually not poisonous, and coral snakes are very poisonous. The rule of thumb to differentiate a king snake from a coral snake is this rhyme: “Red and black, friend of Jack. Red and yellow kill a fellow.”
King snake. Black stripes next to their red stripes.
Coral snake: red stripes next to their yellow stripes.
Is it true that snakes dislocate their jaw?
Actually, this isn’t completely true. Snakes simply enlarge their jaws using strips of cartilage that allows their jaws to widen without actually dislocating or disconnecting the jaw.
Which North American snake is the most dangerous?
Cottonmouth snake.
This snake has a type of venom called a cytotoxin, which means the poison actually destroys tissue. Bites from this snake can lead to limb amputation or even death.
Timber Rattlesnake
This snake has venom that can also destroy flesh, just like cottonmouth snake venom. It’s also capable of delivering a huge amount of venom in a single strike. However, this snake tends to stay hidden and gives plenty of warning before it bites.
Black Diamond Rattlesnake
This snake’s venom attacks the nervous system with neurotoxins.
What are a snake’s scales made of?
Snake scales are made of keratin, which is similar to what fingernails and hair are made of.
Are snakes slimy?
Frogs and salamanders secrete slime on their skin to help keep them moist and to ward off predators. Snakes, however, don’t produce slime. But their scales do reflect light in a way that makes them look slimy, so it’s an easy mistake to make.
Do snakes shed their skin in one piece?
Yes, during a process called ecdysis, snakes shed their entire outer layer of skin all at once. After a new layer of scales are formed under the surface, the snake produces fluid to separate the old layer from the new layer. When the snake is ready to shed its old scales, it absorbs the fluid again and peels off the outer layer.
