Almost everything the last person said is incorrect. Do your own research.

Atleast 400$, probably more. 5-10$ for the chips Food is about 4$ Hamsters, rabbits, rats, rodents. I dunno, the lamp costs 30$ and the power bill probably like 1$ No shots, but you do need to take them to a reptile Vet for check ups. You Already asked about the tank, it's atleast 400$ or more Other things are you need a large enough water Dish for the Snake to soak (2$) Drift wood(10$) fake plants or something(2$) new spray bottle it helps with shedding(1$) bottled water since they'll get sick if they drink tap/sink water(1$) Hide box(3$) That's about it. Also compass is wrong. Snakes make great pets.

hey, well the most deadly snakes are in Australia about 3,000 snake bites happen each year and 75% of them are deadly most of the deadly bites are from the brown snake and the killer python. as i live in New Zealand there are no snakes here at all because NZ is a volcanic ground and snakes can't live in volcanic ground. last week in Sydney a 15 yr old boy died from a brown snake bite, while he was playing cricket.!!!!

Just take note of the interesting parts of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake
If you want REALLY interesting stuff about snakes that most people don't know about, search for "two-headed snake" on Yahoo! Search and reyou'll find quite interesting articles about snakes who 'suffer' from "Polycephaly"

OKay, I have a Banana King Snake.... They make AWESOME pets, because they don't have any teeth. They get their name from their color, they are yellow with brown spots. They eat small rodents mostly, they kill their prey by strangling them to death. They like it to be humid and they're mostly found in trees, and grassy areas. Hope that helps =]

Snakes (from Old English snaca, and ultimately from the Proto-Indo-European base *snag- or *sneg-, "to crawl"), also known as ophidians, are cold-blooded legless reptiles closely related to lizards, which share the order Squamata. There are also several species of legless lizard which superficially resemble snakes, but are not otherwise related to them. A love of snakes is called ophiophilia, a fear of snakes is called ophidiophobia. A specialist in snakes is an ophiologist.

An old synonym for snake is serpent (which comes from Old French, and ultimately from *serp-, "to creep"[1]); in modern usage this usually refers to a mythic or symbolic snake, and information about such creatures can be found under serpent (symbolism). This article deals with the biology of snakes
The skin is covered in scales. Most snakes use specialized belly scales to travel, gripping surfaces. The body scales may be smooth, keeled, or granular. Their eyelids are transparent "spectacle" scales which remain permanently closed, called brille. They shed their skin periodically. Unlike other reptiles, this is done in one piece, like pulling off a sock, with the snake rubbing its nose against something rough, like a rock, for instance, creating a rip in the skin around the nose and the mouth until the skin is completely removed.[1] The primary purpose of shedding this is to grow; shedding also removes external parasites. This periodic renewal has led to the snake being a symbol of healing and medicine, as pictured in the Rod of Asclepius. In "advanced" (Caenophidian) snakes, the broad belly scales and rows of dorsal scales correspond to the vertebrae, allowing scientists to count the vertebrae without dissection. If there is not enough humidity in the air while snakes are shedding their skin, it can be very dangerous for the snake, because the dry skin does not shed. Skin that remains attached to the snake can harbour diseases and parasites. A tail tip that is not removed can constrict as the snake grows, cutting off the blood supply to the end of the tail causing it to drop off. A retained spectacle can cause the snake to become blind in the affected eye.

Some snakes, like the Asian vine snake, have binocular vision. In most snakes, the lens moves back and forth within the eyeball to focus. In addition to their eyes, some snakes (pit vipers, pythons, and some boas) have infrared-sensitive receptors in deep grooves between the nostril and eye which allow them to "see" the radiated heat.

Snakes have no external ears, but they do have a bone called the quadrate under the skin on either side of the head which focuses sound into the cochlea.[2] Their sense of hearing is most sensitive to frequencies around 200–300 Hz.

A snake smells by using its forked tongue to collect airborne particles then passing them to the Jacobson's organ or the Vomeronasal organ in the mouth for examination. The fork in the tongue gives the snake a sort of directional sense of smell. The part of the body which is in direct contact with the surface of the ground is very sensitive to vibration, thus a snake is able to sense other animals approaching.

The left lung is very small or sometimes even absent, as snakes' tubular bodies require all of their organs to be long and thin. To accommodate them all, only one lung is functional. This lung contains a vascularized anterior portion and a posterior portion which does not function in gas exchange. This 'saccular lung' may be used to adjust buoyancy in some aquatic snakes and its function remains unknown in terrestrial species. Also, many organs that are paired, such as kidneys or reproductive organs, are staggered within the body, with one located ahead of the other
The study of snakes is known as serpentology.
there r thousands of species of snakes
some of them r poisonous and the other r non poisonous snakes
