    Extractions: Reptile Auction Top Reptile Sites Reptile Chat Buy Crickets ... Reptiles Classifieds By Paul Hollander pholland@iastate.edu (Freely Distributable) Each snake has various needs that must be met in order to keep it in good health in captivity. The following is an outline of factors that are important to the well-being of your pet. TEMPERATURE: A reptile has the same temperature as its surroundings; it simply moves to a warmer area to heat up and a colder spot to cool down. Most have an "optimum" body temperature that can be maintained within a few degrees and that generally lies between 80 and 88 degrees F. Most tropical species prefer the top half of that range, and most temperate zone snakes like the bottom half. A temperature gradient in the cage lets the snake decide how warm it wants to be. A thermometer can be the herper's best friend because a snake won't eat if it's more than a few degrees below optimum temperature. Snakes have a day-night temperature cycle in the wild. Some studies indicate that if a reptile is constantly held at optimum temperature for weeks, it suffers heat stress. Males also have the sperm killed. It is probably best for a snake to spend the night at a temperature 5 to 20 degrees F below its daytime activity temperature.

    Extractions: Detail of above Key to Similar Species Status PROTECTED. It is illegal to kill or collect this species by law in Iowa. Milk snakes are common, but since they are very secretive, they are seldom seen. Description The milk snake is a medium sized Iowa snake that is 24 to 52 inches in length, but quite often maintains a slender build. It is nonvenomous. Although this snake's blotched pattern remains consistent, its general coloration is quite variable. Some specimens can be beautifully light colored, having a light gray or brown ground color and bright to rusty red body blotches. Others can look a lot like fox snakes having an overall brown coloration. Still, others can be a dark gray with little or no difference in color between the ground color and blotches, only the black borders (which are always present) indicate the presence of blotches. There is an alternating row (sometimes two) of lateral spots on the sides. These vary in size, but are never as big as the dorsal blotches. The belly is white with clusters of black checkers scattered randomly about the venter. Often there is a pink or peach wash to the general ventral coloration. There is a light V or Y marking at the back of the head, but this is sometimes replaced by a light spot. The snout is usually white. The scales are smooth and the anal plate is single.

    Extractions: Lampropeltis triangulum by Jeff LeClere Status No status in Minnesota. Description Subspecies The eastern milk snake, Lamptopeltis triangulum triangulum, is the only subspecies of milk snake in Minnesota. Speculation of the possible occurrence of the red milk snake L. t. syspila in Minnesota has yet to be thoroughly investigated. Counties in the south central and southwestern portion of the state border this snakes' northern range, according to some authors. The red milk snake also intergrades with the eastern milk snake in Iowa; this plane of intergradation apparently does not involve Minnesota. Even if it does, the occurrence of pure L. t. syspila in southeastern Minnesota is slight, and near impossible to substantiate. Range In Minnesota, this snake follows the Mississippi, Minnesota, and a small portion of the St. Croix Rivers as the present records surround these systems. Habitat Rocky hillsides provide the favored habitat in Minnesota. Farmlands, grasslands bordering woodland and rock outcroppings, especially near waterways, are used.

51. Herpetology: Snakes
    snakes are independently derived from lizards (least likely). In general thephylogeny of snakes is a big mess, especially relationships among the  
    http://cluster3.biosci.utexas.edu/courses/herpetology/snakes/snakes.html
    
    Extractions: The earliest fossils identifiable as snakes (within the node-group Ophidia) are from late Cretaceous. Older snake-like fossils (stem-group Serpentes), mostly vertebrae are present from Early Cretaceous. Dinilysia patagonica (Late Cretaceous) is the sister-group of Alethinophidia, united to that clade by having the quadrate rotated into a more posterior position (Rieppel, 1988). Note: On the version of the snake phylogeny handed out in class, Serpentes was incorrectly given as a node name. Ophidia is the node name; Serpentes is the stem name. The two are correctly depicted on the Tetrapod Phylogeny handout. A corrected version of the snake phylogeny is posted above. The position of snakes relative to other squamates has been debated. Some hypotheses based on morphological data are: Snakes are most closely related to varanoid lizards. This is also supported by a recent molecular data set (Forstner et al., 1995) that showed snakes to be more closely related to Varanus than to Hemidactylus, Sceloporus, Cyclura, or Scincella. Snakes are most closely related to burrowing scincomorphs.

    Authors of this brochure are actively engaged in field research and have participatedin educating the general public about snakes.  
    http://www.uga.edu/srel/snakebrochure.htm
    
    Extractions: Introduction Everyone is enthralled by snakes, from the smallest garden variety to the formidable rattlesnake. We at the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory (SREL) see this reaction almost every day of the year: thousands of people attend presentations given by us to learn more about this remarkable form of native wildlife. Whether we are talking to civic groups, schools, government organizations, or corporations, we meet people who are eager for knowledge about the natural history and ecology of snakes. It is through these encounters that we attempt to impart an enhanced appreciation for wildlife and the world in which we live. Our intent in this brochure is to answer some of the most frequently asked questions about the snakes that occur in South Carolina and Georgia. We also provide information about the biology of these reptiles, as well as information and photographs useful for identifying the snake species of the region. Authors of this brochure are actively engaged in field research and have participated in educating the general public about snakes. Our objective is to communicate our own knowledge about and experiences with this fascinating but greatly maligned group of animals. For some readers this brochure should help replace fear of snakes with respect for them. For everyone we hope to enhance their experience in future encounters with the snakes of the region.

    Extractions: By Robert Applegate My goal with this book is to provide you with essential information for the long-term care and maintenance of this beautiful and variable species of snake. I have chosen to present this in an informal manner, writing as if we were in the same room carrying on a conversation. Most of what is contained in this book are my personal opinions, based on many years of my experience and the shared knowledge of others. An additional goal, should you choose to be part of this program, is to provide you with the information needed to reproduce species in captivity and provide additional specimens to the public, thereby reducing the need and demand to collect large numbers of additional wild specimens. I am a strong advocate of "Conservation Through Captive Propagation." Click here to read the text online To Applegate Reptiles Main Page

I moved a rotted stump and reached down to show my grandson what I thought, in my naive northern brain, was an angleworm. As I talked and reached further into the hole I'd created, the angleworm coiled. Strange behavior for a worm. Kinda long too. Damn! Look at the size of that angleworm's head."

If you are looking for more specific information and photos of a certain type of snake, we encourage you to visit our Snake Family and Species page - - where we have alphabetically arranged over a hundred links - - too many to include here! Easier - Snakes are long, thin reptiles. They do not have legs and they slither along the ground. In the United States, only copperheads, coral snakes, rattlesnakes, and water moccasins have poisonous bites. Harder - Snakes have a long, legless, flexible body that is covered with dry scales. When snakes move about on land, they usually slide on their belly. Snake's eyes are covered by clear scales rather than movable eyelids; therefore, their eyes are always open. They repeatedly flick out their narrow, forked tongue, using it to bring odors to a special sense organ in the mouth. Snakes belong to the order of animals called reptiles. This group also include crocodiles, lizards, and turtles. As with the other reptiles, snakes maintain a fairly steady body temperature by their behavior. They raise their temperature by lying in the sun or lower it by crawling into the shade.
