India has about 10 percent of the total snake species found in the world, adding up to somewhere around 200 species in number. They are found all over India. In addition to the water snake, found in fresh water and not a danger to man, are:<br /><br />Cobra, one of the poisonous snake species native to the Indian subcontinent. It grows to an average height of 1 m.<br /><br />King Cobra, the largest poisonous terrestrial snake, measuring up to 5.7 m in length. <br /><br />Python, one of the most massively built snakes of the Indian subcontinent. Found in water and on land.<br /><br />Russells Viper<br /> A highly poisonous snake of the Viperidae family, responsible for most of the snakebite deaths within its habitat. <br /><br />There are also sea snakes there and they are very venomous to man. So Nick, this is NOT a worried Mom lecture, just some background on an interesting reptile class based on my scientific zoological background. That said, I am going to go have a stiff drink now after reading this last post (maybe two) (no three) (oK, four).<br /><br />I'm going to check out the pictures now, keep posting!!! Love Mom p.s. use your polysporin on those cuts! :-)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06859196479181797718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5424933451264185343.post-81599851198891121032010-04-23T15:55:45.008-07:002010-04-23T15:55:45.008-07:00Nick -we can't wait to read about your adventu...Nick -we can't wait to read about your adventures and there are many more people than you know about reading your postings daily. A water snake! Just what your mom and I need to hear! Another Ahhhhhh! moment for us. What about when you are bouncing from boulder to boulder. There are probably snakes in the crevices - so watch where you stick your hands.<br />You are in an amazing country and learning so much about it. Looking forward to pictures from your friends. It's cold here!!!!<br />What do you eat??<br />Cheers.....Grama R.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13159326168677064720noreply@blogger.com
