Whip Snake

Whip Snake

Description:

I thought that this was a really cool snake. I love the color and how it is bright green, so it can be easily spotted. This snake is really big, probably and adult. I didn't want to touch the whip snake, but I could tell that his body was scaly and smooth. You can see tiny, tiny scales on them, to me they look a little like hexagons. This snake can bite, but it is not poisonous to humans. Only poisonous to the snakes prey. I also heard that when the snake is young and the snake is really strong, when you pick them up to see it, they young ones start to swing their neck around and their neck can actually break and they would die because they wanted to get back to their habitat.

Habitat:

This was found in the SAS rainforest. I really like this snake.
