Scared Of Snakes? Put A Hat On It!

I hate to correct you but I work at a zoo in I find this kind of eratating and I love to share my mileage of the snakes because they are my favorite animals. the things call nostrils are actually little pits that help the snake find pray by the heat they give off because snakes can't see well or smell that well.

It’s not nostrils they are nom nom seekers to find the cheese bois

Wait...snakes have 6 NOSTRILS?!

The nostrils are actually heat pits.

Those six nostril like things are called heat pits. They allow the snake to see infrared.

Those holes are called "labial pits" (or "heat pits"); they are important in hunting and thermoregulation because they contain heat-sensing organs.

LOL, they aren't nostrils. They are heat-sensing pits. This is how you tell the two main groups of constrictors apart. Pythons have heat-pits and boas do not. Now you know!!! And this little python is adorable!!!

his nostrils are above...like a ducks would be. the holes lower are more like sensors :)

well his nostrils are actually above those just like a ducks in a sense. those holes below are more like sensors.

they're heat sensing pits, but you're right. he/she is pretty adorable.

Those aren't nostrils, those are heat pits. Nostrils are on top of the nose.

I thought it was cute until u said 6 nostrils.. eww what is wrong with me...

Yes. 6 nostrils. I cannot sleep tonight thinking about it.

Yes. Six nostrils. I cannot sleep tonight.

First of, it's not a black mamma, it's a ball python, I assured you they're quite harmless. Second, to de-fang a snake is like declawing your cat, unnecessary and cruel, they have those fangs and claws for a reason. Only professionals handle venomous snakes, they were not be keep simply as pets.

Some snakes give birth to live young

Not all lay eggs. Some are "ovoviviparous" and give birth to live snakelings. Or snakittens.

Nooooooot the right kind of eggs. Snake eggs stick together in a lump until the little noodles hatch.

I think he ate the Easter bunn bunn so it's only rite that he takes over.
