Hmmm, could be a new movie idea... "Snakes On A Car!"\n\nBut seriously, it might be fun for you, but I really do not think the snakes would get much out of it.  I'm sure they don't understand the concept of cars or of being moved around by something other than their own slithering.\n\nEither they would get nothing out of it, or it would freak them out....if you want freaked-out snakes, then don't roll that car my way, is all I'm sayin'.\n\nHave fun.

Here is one with map and rattlesnake info.

No, you need something that has give so you can bounce off the ropes. Regular rope would break, even if it were covered with duct tape.

Its almost 49 feet long and weights almost 990 pounds. If confirmed, it will be the largest captured snake. It was captured in Indonesia.

The Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake is the largest and most dangerous of Florida's native snakes, and is one of the most poisonous snakes of the world. It is large in size, has a high quantity of venom, aggressive defensive tactics and tremendous striking speed, thus making this snake one to be treated with extreme caution. Although it may attain a body length of over eight feet, it is rare to find an Eastern Diamondback over seven feet long. Rattlesnakes feed on small warm-blooded animals, mainly rabbits, squirrels, rats, mice, and sometimes birds. When disturbed, rattlesnakes assume a defensive position with the body coiled around and the head and neck raised in an S-position. From this stance, the rattler can deliver the venomous strike. It almost always gives a warning rattle of the tail first. The Eastern Diamondback occurs in every Florida county and prefers rural scrub pine areas. Average adult size is 36-72 inches, and the record is 96 inches.\n \n The Canebrake Rattlesnake, also called the Timber Rattlesnake, is restricted mainly to northern Florida but has been reported as far south as Alchua County. I doubt you'll ever see one in Orlando. This snake is the southern subspecies of the timber rattlesnake found in more northern portions of the United States. As with other rattlesnakes, the head is much wider than the neck. It is smaller and more slender in build than the average Diamondback. Florida specimens seldom measure more than five feet in length. The Timber Rattler is usually found in the flatwoods, fields and around farms. Average adult size is 36-60 inches, and the record is 74.5 inches. There's no snake repellant to keep away Canebrakes! \n \n The Pygmy Rattlesnake, also called ground rattler, is common throughout Florida. It is found in every county. Its rattle is small and slender and produces a sound like the buzzing of an insect, which may be difficult for people to hear. Most pygmy rattlers measure less than 18 inches in length. It feeds on small frogs, lizards, mice and other snakes. The Pygmy has a feisty disposition, and is quick to strike. Luckily, it usually does not inject enough venom to kill an adult human. However, the venom is extremely painful and damaging to tissue. You do not want to receive a Pigmy Rattler bite! Get pest control for snakes first. Average adult size is 12-24 inches, and the record is 31 inches.

Sounds like a Milksnake.

The Timber Rattler is native (if rarely seen) in the Eastern US, and Massachusetts is included in its range, but because of the high population density of Mass. (and the long-time tendency of people to kill rattlesnakes around their houses) I imagine that you would be hard pressed to find any rattlesnakes there.\n\n**Update**\nI found a website with the timber rattler's range laid out on a map: http://www.dec.state.ny.us/website/dfwmr/wildlife/endspec/tirafs.html

You friend is wrong. Some worms continue to live as two worms if you cut them up, or the living part grows again.\n\nBut if you cut up a snake, you break its backbone. No creature survives a cut up back bone. Yes, it dies.

The one that is stretched tightly would probably be more likely to break.   The lack of tension would cause the rope to reach its breaking point sooner.

Even if they lose sight of a prey they struck, rattlesnakes can still track them.  So that way, they don't have to hold onto their prey while it slowly dies.  If they did, they'd be at risk of injury by a flailing mouse or whatever.  Rattlesnakes have been shown to be able to tell the difference between the trails of unstruck rats and struck rats, opting for the envenomated rat.

Yes. Many spiders build their webs so that they are more than two feet from the ground.

A cobra is much more poisonous than a rattlesnake. If a rattlesnake bites you, you have a pretty good chance of living through it without any medical attention, although it is advisable to get medical attention.\nIf you are bitten by a cobra, medical attention and antivenom are necessary immediately.\nA bit of advice. First aid used to recommend the application of a tournquet between the bitten extremety  and the heart plus making an X incision 1/4 inch long and deep on the fang punctures. This is not a good idea as the incisions can cause more damage than the snake bite. The suction cups in a snakebite kit are good for sucking out the poison. If you try sucking it out by mouth, if you have a sore or some wound in the mouth, you can get poisoned, too.\n Application of an elastic bandage over the bite helps to prevent the poison from spreading through the body. Keeping calm is also a good idea as if the bitten person gets excited, the pulse rate goes up spreading the poison at a much more rapid pace.\nAbout 20 or so years ago, it was thought that electric shock, such as from a taser, would destroy the toxicity of the poison. I haven't heard anything about that for many years, so I don't think it worked very well.\nBe cautious around areas where there are known to be snakes, know what their habitat is and when they are likely to be about. \nIn the spring and late summer here in the northern U.S., the snakes shed their skin. At that time, they are the most dangerous because they can't see well.

Coils, but your hint appears to be "coiled" For clarification, it depends on the snake.

Everyone here, including the asker, is wrong.\n\nThe long rope will carry a greater load than the short one if the initial tension in each is the same.\n\nReason:  The long rope will DEFLECT more than the short, and the angle it makes with the horizontal will therefore be greater.  The greater the angle, the more upward load the rope will carry.\n\nTorque has NOTHING to do with this problem.  The nature of a rope is that is can ONLY support TENSION.  No bending (torque) allowed.\n\nI'll supply the equations in a while; I started scribbling them down, but they got a little hairy, and I wanted more time to sort them out so they're readable.  I like this problem; it's just that you assumed a particular answer was right a priori..........

This is a myth. Look at the entomology website from the U of California Riverside.\nhttp://spiders.ucr.edu/daddylonglegs.html
