The fangs lie flat when not needed and are raised when the snake strikes. These snakes have a large pair of poison fangs at the front of the upper jaw. This group includes many deadly species, such as the mambas of Africa, the cobras of Africa and Asia, and the coral snakes of the New World. The fangs of these snakes are fixed at the front of the upper jaw. Few species are very poisonous and only two, both African tree snakes, are dangerous to humans.
The snakes in this group have the two or three rearmost teeth of the upper jaw enlarged and grooved for injecting venom. Poisonous snakes use their venom mainly for feeding rather than for defence. The 3 ft long burrowing python of Africa is the smallest python.
The largest python is the reticulated python of Asia it can grow to 33 ft long and weigh 300 lb. The snake coils its long body round its victim and squeezes it to death. Pythons include many species of non-poisonous snakes which kill their prey, such as birds and small mammals, by constriction. Other boas include the boa constrictor and the emerald tree boa. The largest boa is the anaconda, which averages 35ft in length and hunts along river banks. Like the pythons of Africa and Asia the boas of South America kill by constriction. Snakes are well camouflaged the most common colours are green or brown to match leaves or bark, often with a twig-like or leaf-like pattern. Some have prehensile tails which can grip a branch firmly while the rest of the body moves on. Ground-dwelling snakes track by scent but in the trees the scent trail is broken whenever the prey crosses to another branch, so many tree-living species hunt by sight. Other species have developed 'wings', enabling the snake to escape predators by gliding to another tree or the ground. Many have long thin bodies with angled scales on their bellies which help the snakes to grip branches. Snakes of the rain forest are well adapted to an arboreal or tree-dwelling existence. The constant warmth and humidity of tropical rain forests provide an ideal habitat where snakes can live without having to shelter from heat or cold. When attacking prey, boa constrictors first bite with their teeth before wrapping themselves around their victims and squeezing them to death.Snakes, like all reptiles, are cold-blooded animals which cannot adjust their body temperature internally. Workers were stunned by the sheer size of the hulking snake. One species of snake native to the island is the deadly boa constrictor which can grow up to 13 feet. TikTok, fakrulazwa / The Sunĭominica, a Caribbean paradise measuring just 29 miles long and 16 miles wide, has been dubbed “the Nature Island” thanks to its array of wildlife. Footage shows workers using a crane to lift up an enormous snake while clearing off a rainforest in Dominica. It is not clear what kind of snake appears in the video.

Since it was uploaded to social media last week, the video has been viewed millions of times. The snake, which is at least 10-feet long, is alive as it’s lifted by the digger. In the footage, the astonished man filming can be heard saying: “My mother, what?” The huge beast appears to have been found by workers clearing part of the Dominica rainforest.
