Also you can atually have poisonous snakes as pets but it is extremely hard work, but mr.darnley and mr.askew don't have poisonous snakes mr.Askew has a corn snake, python and a milk snake. Mr.Darnley has 2 milk snake. Milk snakes are called milk snakes because their is a legend that milk snakes use to go into a cattle field and drink milk from the cattle without the cattle knowing,

  7. Snakes can't see you,so they sense you.They also sense their food and then eat it.And,after you've fed a snake you should not touch it because it might be sick.You should not touch a snake too much if it is about to shed it's skin.

  8. I found out that snakes can unhinge it's jaw and it eats rats Mr askew's eats big rats when Mr Darnley's snake only eats small rats because Mr askew's are a lot bigger so they can eat bigger things also none of Mr darnley's snakes are not poisonous neither are Mr askew's it was amazing to watch and also very fascinating to see how the snakes can unhinge there jaws and it was also very fun and I would love to see them again!

    I have learnt that snakes can swallow their prey. Mr.Darnley got 2 milk snakes and Mr. Askew got three different kind of snakes. Milk snake is a species of king snake.Milk snakes grow 20 to 60 inches. They have smooth shiny and color pattern skin.I like milk snake because they are harmless. "Red next to black is a friend of jack;Red next to yellow will kill a fellow." It was a fun to see them eat their prey.

  10. I learnt that snakes can eat their prey whole and unhinge their jaw to fit the mouse or rat into their body. Also you can see the prey going through the body it is this big lump in the body. Not to forget that when the snake has eaten you are not allowed to touch it for at least 24 hours to wait until it has digested down and you can't see the lump anymore. Also if you touch the snake after it has eaten it will sick the food back up.EEWW!!! I also learnt that snakes have teeth pointing backwards so that if the prey tries to climb back up it will get cut by them, the teeth also push the prey backwards into the body.

  12. I learned that snakes eat there prey all in one swallow but it looks like they are chewing but it is not.They unhinge their jaw so the Rat or mouse can fit in one swallow.You will be able to see the prey going down they will squeze it all the way into their stomach.When the snake has eaten you are not aloud to touch it our pick it up much.You will need to wait 24 hours for it to digest.Snakes will eat 1 a week.

  18. I have learnt that snakes in this country have to eat dead rats or mice because It Is the law.Snakes do not eat dead food but they can get tricked and eat the food.When snakes have ate they search for more food and If they see fingers they try to eat it.

  19. Snakes are carnivorous and sometimes dangerous. Did you know that snakes used to have legs a long time ago but they didn't need them because they couldn't enter their burrows and adapted to having no legs at all! They can also eat mice and rats whole! And when they eat they don't need to eat until the next week because the snake system digests food very slowly as snakes can be very long!
