[Slateman]

That was tricky question kids. Blind snake can see only if is dark or light. So he hctually see dark and light.

Question 5.


Why some snakes like Woma, Brown snake or Taipan have darker colouring durong winter months?

 

[python_guy44]

because these snakes tend to go underground in this period (arent getting natural lighting conditions from sun etc.) and once the right season comes back so do there colours.

 

[sobrien]

To absorb more heat as darker colours such as black attract the heat.

 

[Alexahnder]

so they can absorb more heat from the sun

 

[poppets]

so they stay warm in the sun

 

[Guest]

I reakon they need more heat to survive because of the cold waether

 

[Slateman]

[Nicole]

Oh cr@p.. just when I thought I finnaly got to a Trivia question just after it was posted instead of a day later, and it turns out to be the kiddies one... sorry.. :-(

 

[Morelia_man]

boiga fusca are rear fanged and they have to really bite down and 'chew' to inject any venom. it is also a semi mild venom and considered less dangerous. i was bitten by my bts on thursday and she really bit down on me and started chewing at my skin, didn't hurt but got a little head ache afterwoods, don't know if the head ache was related but oh well

 

[Slateman]
