Snake

Snakes are elongated, legless, carnivorous reptiles of the suborder Serpentes. Like all other squamates, snakes are ectothermic, amniote vertebrates covered in overlapping scales.

There are more than 3,000 species of snakes in the world and there is at least one type of snake on every continent except Antarctica.

While the snake has a bad rap as a pest, snakes can often be quite helpful and even a fun pet.
