Creature Feature
okay so i have this idea. I will start posting little blurbs full of fun facts and information about a different animal every month. Let me know what you think and if there is an animal you might like to learn about... send me an email: snakeguy101@gmail.com
Romeo- Southern Pine snake ( Pituophis melanoleucus mugitus)
Pine snakes to support the claim that they are not imperiled. These snakes are very reclusive and like to spend a majority of their time in the gopher tortoise burrows in order to escape the heat of the south's scorching sun. for the most part these animals are nocturnal and terrestrial however they seem to be quite apt at climbing when the need to. Pine snakes are also notorious for bluffing. They will hiss very loudly scaring off just about anything but if that does not work, they will shake their tail where they have a modified scale very rapidly, the effect is very much like a rattlesnakes' rattle. they can grow to be seven feet in length and are one of the largest snakes in N.America second only to the indigo snake. These snakes will prey on small mammals like most other snakes but they have also been recorded to eat birds, fish and are said to eat other snakes on occasion. In my opinion, they are one of the most fascinating snakes out there and more research is desperately needed.
