Where you live will help people answer your question.\n\nLink below loads slowly but is worth the wait.  In Northeast US, garter snakes and black rat snakes are starting to show up - they are beneficial - they eat rodents.\n\nWhere I live - timber rattlers and copperheads are the only two poisonous snakes.  These snakes would rather escape than confront, so in hot weather, I just pay attention to where I put my hands and feet, so I don't disturb them.

You may want to go to the library...research either Native American Indians....but ask the librarian...or a book on rattlesnakes...You just  have to stop thinking about them snakes!!!

They're pretty scary if you've never seen them before.  I've seen a couple, but they were just the thin ropey ones & not the big ones you see on the news.  I've lived in Kansas all my life, so I'm used to them.

Oh great another question with multiple answers by people who have no fricken’ idea what they are talking about.\n\n>>>>How come there are an abundant found\n>>>> species of snakes in Australia, but no snakes\n>>>>> in Hawaii?\n\nFirst off lets clear up the common misconception that there are no snakes in Hawaii. There are no LAND snakes in Hawaii. There most certainly are sea snakes in Hawaii.\nThere are no LAND snakes in Hawaii because Hawaii has only existed for the blink of an eye in geological time. Because it is so new all the animals and plants in Hawaii have had to arrive there by travelling across the ocean from nearby landmasses. Hawaii is far too far away from the nearest landmass with snakes for land snakes to be able them to swim that distance.  \n\nFor the same reason Hawaii also has no native land reptiles, amphibians or land mammals of any kind.  Several species of reptiles and mammals have hitched rides with people or been deliberately introduced to the islands, but so far no snakes.\n\nIn contrast Australia as old as any landmass on Earth. snakes evolved in or near Australia when it was still part of the supercontinents. \n\n______________________\nGuelph said “During the last ice age, sea levels were low enough that\n>>>>>>> the Indonesian islands formed a virtual landbridge to Australia.\n\nThere was no land bridge, virtual or otherwise. More importantly snakes and their ancestors have been present in Australia since before it split from Gondwana. No land bridge was needed or used.\n\nKari said “Snakes may have been brought into Australia”. This is total rubbish. There are no exotic snakes living in Australia outside of zoos. No snakes have been brought into Australia. They have more than enough of their own.\n\nCeciel who is obviously a graduate of the Simpson’s school of biological control, is clearly planning to release Himalayan Mountain gorillas to Hawaii deal with the mongooses.\n\nKnowlegdeSeeker said " Colubrids, the progenitors of modern >>>>>> snakes started to show up about 36M years ago."\n\nColubrids are NOT the pregenitors of modern snakes. \n\nColubrids are one of the three major types of modern venomous snakes, the other being the elapids and viperids (See link 1 below.)Colubrids are not a very significant part of the Australian snake fauna and restricted mostly to the northern parts of the continent (see links 2 below). For that reason they are indeed believed to be fairly recent immigrants (See link 3 below).\n\nThe first snakes show up in the fossil record some 100 million years ago in South America, when, as the website you posted shows, Australia was still very much part of Gondwana. In fact the best early snake fossils all come from Gondwana (including present day Australia) and snakes were widepread across that supercontinent by the mid cretaceous, well before it broke up (See remaining links for details).\n\nAfter that the record gets patchy. In fact snakes are amongst the worst represented of all the vertebrate groups. But the general consenus amongst palaeontologists is that snakes evolved in Gondwana and radiated from there to the rest of the world. As a group they never moved into Australia unless it was form South America when the two landmasses were still connected. No land bridge required.

It is the dawn of a new season for the sasquatch.I think now thru around mid june is a good time to set eyes on one based on the thing coming down to feed.I found a picture of hair samples from last season's sightings that can not be explained that I know of.Also a couple lawmen sighted one they claimed in I think it was colorodo.

I am quite sure that you will NOT find a MAP persae with a distribution of snakes. Look at this URL below and it will give iniformation BUT NOT A MAP..\n\nhttp://www.itg.be/itg/DistanceLearning/LectureNotesVandenEndenE/42_Snakesp4.htm

very funny rhonda....\n\nIt's hard to tell just from your description,here's a couple of links:\n\nhttp://www.georgiaherp.com/index.html\nhttp://museum.nhm.uga.edu/gawildlife/reptiles/reptsp.html\nhttp://www.gwf.org/commonreptiles.htm\n\nwith pictures.\n\nBe nice to it.

Yes, please do get out and see them.  Rabbits, fish, mollusks, deer, birds, dogs, fungii... all alive.  What a brilliant universe!!!

That reminds me of one of the ancient mythologie (greek, I think) called the Ouroboros---the snake eating its own tail.  No end, no beginning.    Good point on the "circular arguments".....
