Happy Serpent Day!

Today is apparently Serpent Day, which is funny considering what tomorrow is. I decided to find the *insert -est word’ snake for a bunch of categories. I also went for videos of two of my favorite snakes in general. Not that I want to meet them.

Barbados Threadsnake- Smallest at 3.9 inches

Death Adder- Fastest Strike at 0.04-0.06 seconds (Means strike, injection, and return.)

Gaboon Viper- Widest Head at 5-6 inches

Green Anaconda- Heaviest at over 550 pounds

Inland Taipan- Most Venomous with one bite having enough venom to kill 100 people.

Reticulated Python- Longest at 10-20 feet. (One specimen was 33 feet.)

Saint Lucia Racer- Rarest with less than 20 individuals in the wild

Sidewinder Rattler- Fastest at 18 mph
