A concrete poem about a snake could take the form of a coiling shape that winds its way down the page, with the words of the poem forming the body of the snake. The poem could describe the snake's slithering motion, its scales glistening in the sun, and its flickering tongue tasting the air. The visual layout of the poem could enhance the imagery and evoke the sinuous movement of a snake.

What is the longest snake ever recorded?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

20.3 feet caught in a fishing net off the north east coast of australia. Records of 28+ft Saltwater Crocodiles do exist ageing back some 20 - 30 years or so; whether they are genuine or not is another matter. The Smithsonian has a 27 footer mounted there in the Natural History section. Resently in kakadoo national park in northern Ausrtalia they caught a salty that was 41 feet and 2 inches

The largest species of crocodile is the Saltwater Crocodile. The largest recorded crocodile in history is a Giant Saltwater Crocodile measured at 8.6 metres (28 ft.) and 1,352 kg (2,980 lb). The largest living crocodile is a saltwater crocodile that measures 7.1 metres (23 ft.) and about 2,000 kg (4,400 lb).

  • Since 19th November 2008.

Saltwater crocodiles grow to be the largest. There is a massive Nile crocodile named Gustav. But at an estimated 23 ft length, he comes up short compared to recorded and documented saltwater crocodiles.

Not quite, the largest saltwater crocodile scientifically proven, yet not quite accepted was 23.7 feet long. Many people think that since niles are just smaller than salties Gustave is only large for a nile. That is not true He is abnormally large even for a saltwater.

a 30ft crocodile is being hunted at the moment in agusan province in the Philippines after decapitating a 10 year old girl.

a 33ft long crocodile was caught and killed in luzon, Philippines in the 1880s.

The crocodile caught in Agusan, Philippines is 21 feet (6.4 meters) long and weighs in at 1,075 kilograms (2,370 pounds)

An Indo-pacific crocodile 28 feet 4 inches long was shot on the MacArthur Bank of the Norman River, Queensland, Australia by Mrs Kris Powloski in 1957. Kris' husband Ron was a recognised crocodile expert and measured the body. Sightings of giants like this persist in remote parts of Asia and Australia. The African Nile crocodile is said to approach these sizes as well. One mammoth individual in Burundi is over 23 feet long.

It is very well possible that it was 28 feet long, but the largest in the world currently is a 23 footer in the Bhitarkanika National Park in the Orissa state of India.

It was a 27 ft crocodile (8.24 m), and weighed around 4000 lb. There is a crocodile living on a creek at a beach in Cedar Bay North Queensland Australia that locals estimate is 9 metres long. Its a solitary old male and very agressive. When standing its stomach height on a 180 cm human. Rumour has it that the late great Steve Irwin knew of two crocodiles well over 9 metres 'somewhere in Northern Australia' but would never reveal where to prevent trophy hunters ever finding them.
Saltwater croccodile is the largest, strongest reptiles on earth. Its lenght growes to about two small cars.

Banakon snake is a king cobra or a black mamba?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Banakon resembles a Black Mamba more than a King Cobra in terms of physical look. In contrast to King Cobra, who has a thicker body than Banakon, Banakon has a thinner and longer body. Moreover, the Banakon moves faster than a King Cobra. I hope this species will be the subject of additional research. There are other rumors that Banakon is not a native of the Philippines but originated from the other country. Accidentally brought here by the grass straw plant, which was introduced for the purpose of feeding livestocks.

Do you hurt snakes when you hold them?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, you don't hurt snakes when you hold them. If they are in pain though, or are annoyed, the snake will crawl and squirm away from your hold. Also, wait 24 hours or more to hold a snake after a he eats. Snakes have slow digestion so trying to pick him up will cause him to either get upset or vomit his food.

Most of all, be gentle with a snake. They can sense fear and a tense person.

Is November a snake?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Snakes typically shut down September-October but that depends on where you live.

Snakes can be found at any time of the year. They sleep in the winter but don't hibernate. If a snake did not eat enough before its long sleep it will wake up, no matter the temperature, and try to find food or whatever resource it requires. Although a snake slithering across the snow is very uncommon, it is possible and does happen.

To answer the question, snakes are typically asleep by November but their are exceptions and reasons that could prove otherwise depending on location and the individual snakes preparedness for the rough times.

How do you keep snakes out of your garage?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Approach slowly, talk softly, place a chair nearby and sit quietly as you continue talking. Each time, bring soft (canned) kitten food with you, nicely broken up in a low bowl. Put the bowl next to your chair, stand up, and walk away; leave the kitten to eat in peace.

Twice a day, take him food and water. Each time, put both next to the chair. But, over many days, don't stand up and leave as soon as you did the last time. Food always wins, eventually. Trust is always greatest with the one person who feeds an animal.

Note: If the kitten is over 6 weeks old and was never touched by humans, he may already be feral (a bit wild). Don't give up hope--it is possible to gain the trust of a feral kitten and eventually make a pet. But trust must not be broken, or you'd be back at square one. So always feed near the same time, same spot, same behavior (yours), and same soft approach with your words, tone of voice, and your actions.

Another Answer

If you wish an easier and faster way then just go to your local animal shelter or pet shop and purchase an inexspensive live trap for small animals, these traps resemble wire cages and they allow you to place food inside at one end and the other end is open,when the animal enters and goes to the end to get the food the door closes and humanely traps the animal alive inside...place the trap close to where you hear the kitten and just leave it, check the trap everyday, hunger will eventually force the animal to enter the cage.

They rise up on their bodies a bit; usually about half of their length is in the air vertically. They spread out two flaps of skin on the sides of their necks and open their mouths wide, as a warning of their toxic, powerful venom.
