Optimal digestion occurs when the snake maintains a body temperature between 80 and 85 °F (25 and 29 °C). If the prey is small, the rattlesnake often continues hunting. If the meal was adequate, the snake finds a warm, safe location in which to coil up and rest until the prey is digested. [19]
Different biological factors such as body temperature and sex also influence whether the snake exhibits certain antipredatory behaviors. [15] The warmer the temperature of a garter snake, the more likely the snake is to flee a predator; a snake with a cooler body temperature is more likely to remain stationary or attack.
The Mizo rain snake or narrow-headed smithophis (Smithophis atemporalis) is a species of snake found in India. [ 2 ] The Mizo Rain Snake, a recently discovered non-venomous serpent, adds a splash of color to Bangladesh's diverse ecosystems.
The head is only slightly distinct from the neck, and the pupil is round. The teeth of the upper jaw increase in size towards the rear of the mouth. The body is almost cylindrical and covered with smooth scales. The subcaudals are paired. [1]
The number and arrangement of scales on a snake's body are a key element of identification to species level. [32] The eastern brown snake has 17 rows of dorsal scales at midbody, 192 to 231 ventral scales, [19] 45 to 75 divided subcaudal scales (occasionally some of the anterior ones are undivided), and a divided anal scale.
