Other small, unpatterned brownish snakes which may be confused with C. amoenus, such as earth snakes (genus Virginia) and red-bellied snakes (Storeria occipitomaculata), have keeled dorsal scales and lack the spine-tipped tail. [4] [9] The southeastern crown snake (Tantilla coronata) has 15 midbody scale rows, a dark head, and a dark collar. [3]
Termites create high and regulated temperatures in their mounds, and this is exploited by some species of lizards, snakes and crocodiles. [ 14 ] [ 15 ] Research has shown such kleptothermy can be advantageous in cases such as the blue-lipped sea krait ( Laticauda laticaudata ), where these reptiles occupy a burrow of a pair of wedge-tailed ...

The circulatory system of a snake is basically like those of any other vertebrae. However, snakes do not regulate internally the temperature of their blood. Called cold-blooded, snakes actually have blood that is responsive to the varying temperature of the immediate environment. Snakes can regulate blood temperature by moving.

Blind or blindfolded rattlesnakes can strike prey accurately in the complete absence of visible light, [ 13 ] [ 14 ] though it does not appear that they assess prey animals based on their body temperature.

The skin of snakes is highly sensitive to contact, tension, and pressure; they are capable of feeling pain. [67] An important function of the skin is the sensation of changes in air temperature, which can guide the snakes towards warm basking/shelter locations. [68] All snakes are ectotherms. To maintain a stable body temperature, they exchange ...
