    What do snakes not have?

    • Teeth

    • Eyelids

    • Eyes

    • Both A & B

    Correct Answer
    A. Eyelids
    Explanation
    Snakes do not have eyelids. Unlike humans and many other animals, snakes do not have movable eyelids to protect their eyes. Instead, they have a transparent scale called a spectacle or brille that covers and protects their eyes. This scale does not blink or close like eyelids do, allowing snakes to keep their eyes open at all times, even when they are sleeping or shedding their skin. This adaptation helps snakes to detect movement and potential threats in their environment.

    Which of these snakes is non-venomous?

    • Cottonmouth

    • Taipan

    • Python

    • Black mamba

    Correct Answer
    A. Python
    Explanation
    The python is a non-venomous snake. Unlike the cottonmouth, taipan, and black mamba, which are all venomous snakes, the python kills its prey by constriction rather than injecting venom. Therefore, the python is the correct answer as the non-venomous snake in this question.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Which snake has the longest fangs?

    • Habu

    • Eyelash viper

    • Black mamba

    • Gaboon viper

    Correct Answer
    A. Gaboon viper
    Explanation
    The Gaboon viper has the longest fangs among the given options. These venomous snakes are known for their exceptionally long fangs, which can reach up to two inches in length. The length of their fangs allows them to deliver a deep bite and inject a substantial amount of venom into their prey or potential threats. This makes the Gaboon viper one of the most dangerous snakes in Africa.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Which snake is the longest?

    • Green anaconda

    • Reticulated python

    • King cobra

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Reticulated python
    Explanation
    The reticulated python is the longest snake in the world. It can grow up to 30 feet in length, making it longer than the green anaconda and king cobra. Therefore, the correct answer is reticulated python.

    Which snake doesn't have to have a mate to lay eggs?

    • Copperhead

    • Corn snake 

    • Kingsnake

    • Flower pot snake

    Correct Answer
    A. Flower pot snake
    Explanation
    The flower pot snake, also known as the Brahminy blind snake, is a unique species that can reproduce through a process called parthenogenesis. This means females can produce fertile eggs without mating, resulting in offspring that are genetically identical to the mother. This adaptation allows them to colonize new areas effectively, even when males are scarce.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Which snake can sense light with its tail?

    • Copperhead

    • Olive sea snake

    • Habu

    • California king snake

    Correct Answer
    A. Olive sea snake
    Explanation
    The olive sea snake is the correct answer because it has a specialized organ called the "photoreceptive tubercles" located on its tail. These tubercles contain light-sensitive cells that allow the snake to perceive and respond to changes in light levels. This adaptation helps the olive sea snake navigate and hunt effectively in its marine environment.

    Rate this question:

    Which of these snakes is venomous?

    • Garter Snake 

    • Python 

    • Boa Constrictor 

    • Coral Snake

    Correct Answer
    A. Coral Snake
    Explanation
    Coral snakes are highly venomous snakes found in the Americas. They are known for their distinctive red, yellow, and black banding pattern. Their venom is neurotoxic, affecting the nervous system and potentially causing paralysis or respiratory failure. The other options are non-venomous snakes. Garter snakes are harmless snakes commonly found in North America. Pythons and boa constrictors are large constricting snakes that subdue their prey by squeezing them.
