The bright colours of the coral snake warn that it is highly poisonous There are over 3000 kinds of snake in the world. Giants like the seven-metre long python can squeeze the life out of a large antelope and swallow it whole. Other snakes grow no longer than a pencil. Some live in the sea, some burrow underground, others climb trees. One species of fer-de-lance, a deadly viper, has been recorded swallowing prey that was 1.6 times its own body weight. Poisonous or harmless, large or small, all snakes - from the desert rattlesnake to the dwarf pipe snake - have certain things in common: a long, thin shape; scaly, legless bodies; and unblinking, lidless eyes. Like all reptiles, snakes rely on the heat of the sun to control their body temperature. That's why the greatest variety of species is found in the warm, humid tropical regions of the world.

42. The Rainforest Snakes By Caitie O. The most deadly snake is the golden eyelash viper. http://library.thinkquest.org/J0111765/snakes.html

Snakes By Caitie O. The most deadly snake is the golden eyelash viper. There are over 160 different varieties of snakes in the rainforest. Some live along muddy riverbanks. The green tree boa makes its home in the trees. Coral snakes live under stones or logs on the forest floor. The biggest snake in the Amazon is the anaconda. This dangerous reptile can get up to 20 feet long. Hungry anacondas hang about along riverbanks, waiting for their prey to come near the river. They grab their prey and squeeze them to death. After that they swallow them whole. Vipers are not as large as anacondas, they grow up to only 6 feet long. But they are just as deadly. Vipers use their sharp fangs to kill their prey, these sharp fangs inject poison. Between their eyes and their nostrils many vipers have special pits, these pits help snakes sense their prey in dark places. Vipers attack little animals such as lizards, but some can kill people too.
