Snakes
Are there any amateur herpitologists reading here?
Yesterday just after having spent hours working in a particular spot, I saw a Tiger Snake there. When I told my husband he said, "But he's such a friendly snake". (And to think I've been married to this goose of a man for nearly 40 years!) Anyway, I was telling a neighbour this tale of husband silliness and they said that snakes are cranky at the moment as it's breeding season. My response was that I thought they bred earlier in the season. Neighbour then said that it could be that they are shedding their skins now and that is why they are cranky. I checked with a friend whose son has pythons and she said they do get cranky when they shed their skins and that she once had to help to wrestle a snake into a bathtub to aid it when it failed to shed as it should and it got super cranky. The sum total of this all these exchanges made me realise that although I frequently see snakes, I don't know lot about them. I know a fair amount about the birds and other animals aroudn here but not snakes. Does anyone know anythign about the life cycle of snakes? Or a good book on the subject? |
