14. The Spitting Cobras
These types of snakes are actually made up of several different species. Their name is a dead giveaway for what these guys can do. Their most effective defense mechanism is the ability to spit their venom into the eyes of whatever it targets. Their aim is scary-accurate but they can only try to guess their prey’s movement, which can lead to a missed shot.
13.
Green Vine Snake
This is officially the world’s most slender snake. They grow to about an average width of just 2cm thick and you can see why they’re called the ribbon snake. On top of being extremely venomous, they also happen to be one of the world’s fastest striking reptiles.
12. The
Blind Snake
Don’t be fooled. I know this looks like a worm and all but it's actually a snake. This snake doesn’t have any eyes, which is how it got its name, the blind snake. They mostly live underground and scavenge for different types of bugs and larvae. It is mildly venomous so make sure you do a double take and don’t pick up one of these guys by mistake.
11. The Leaf-Nosed
Snake
The
Madagascar leaf-nosed snake isn’t the biggest snake in the world, but it definitely is one of the most unusual looking snakes. They happen to be thought of as one of the calmest snakes and aren’t prone to biting unless they’re provoked or feel threatened.
10.
California Red-Sided
Garter Snake
Look at this snake. Look at how majestic it looks. It looks like someone painted it with glow in the dark paint that they use for raves. This is the type of color combinations you see on acid trips, so I’m told. But the California red-sided snake isn’t one to worry about since they need to “chew” their prey to deliver their venom, which isn’t life- threatening to humans.
9.
The Emerald Tree Boa
This snake happens to be one of the larger snakes on this list. When fully grown, the adults can come out to be around 6 ft in length and are actually non-venomous.
Fun fact, these guys aren’t this emerald color when they’re babies because when they’re born they’re either red or yellow and turn green once they reach adulthood.
8. Eastern
Blue Racer
This snake is not one to be taken lightly and don’t get distracted by its blue skin.
The Blue Racer absolutely hates any type of disturbance so stay away from them or they’ll chase after you. In which case I hope you’re a fast runner because these guys have been known to slither up to 8-10mph!
7. The
Golden Flying Snake
The flying tree snake is a golden color and is found in
South and
Southeast Asia.
It happens to be incredibly thin which helps it to fly. Although, it doesn’t actually “fly” fly but rather it glides through the air by flinging its body from treetops.
6. Burrowing Asp
This species of snake is found underground in parts of
Africa. Their most interesting trait is their flexible and venomous fangs. When a burrowing asp gets ready to strike, it elongates its fangs from its mouth, and it can even do it when its mouth is closed
5. Golden
Sea Snakes
When sea snakes are hunting, they do it by looking for their next potential meal in small places such as cracks and crevasses. But while they’re doing this they have to manage to keep an eye out for hungry predators. Golden sea snakes have photoreceptors on their tails that act like another set of eyes and allow them to detect light variations caused by nearby animals.
4. The
Reticulated Python
This type of python is mostly found in southeast
Asia and as of right now is the largest species of snake that grows to be around 28 feet long. This snake is definitely one of the more menacing looking ones
...guess who’s not going to Southeast Asia??
3.
The Ball Python
The species of python happens to be the smallest and is found in the
Sub-Saharan Africa. These guys are pretty much docile which is what makes them pretty popular as pets. Do people not watch the news and see other snake owners getting turned on by their snakes? I mean look at this picture, this is why you don’t put these snakes together because they’ll eat each other.
2.
Tiger Keelback
This species is often found in
Eastern Asia. Asia has a lot of snakes…. They usually feed on poisonous frogs since they’re immune to their poison. What’s actually pretty cool is that the keelback steals the frog’s poison and stores it in these special neck glands to use later on any predator that tries to eat it.
1.Titanoboa
This species of snake is considered to be the largest snake that has ever existed on
Earth. They grew to reach staggering lengths of around 40 feet and weighed an astonishing 2,
500 pound! They lived during the same time period as the dinosaurs and were known to eat dinosaur newborns.
Relax guys, thankfully this species went extinct millions of years ago so we don’t have to worry about running into one.
