Milk Snakes are non venomous but they can pack a mean bite and draw blood! As first hand witnessed as a boy. These snakes can reach between 3-6 ft. long.
Interesting thing was this snake coiled up on me when in the grass and vibrated his tail just like a rattle snake! He struck at the stick I put near him!

Los tiburones cebra (Leopard Shark en Thailandia) son nocturnos y pasan la mayor parte del dÃa inmóviles en el fondo marino. Por la noche cazan activamente buscando moluscos, crustáceos, pequeños peces óseos y ocasionalmente serpientes marinas dentro de las cavidades y huecos de los arrecifes. Aunque son criaturas solitarias durante la mayor parte del año durante la estación de apareamiento forman grandes concentraciones. El tiburón cebra es ovÃparo: las hembras depositan varias docenas de cápsulas de huevos, que aferra a estructuras subacuáticas con filamentos adhesivos.
Los tiburones cebra (Tiburon leopardo en Tailandia) son inofensivos y no representan una amenaza para los humanos, son muy populares en acuarios públicos y en excursiones de buceo. La World Conservation Union tiene catalogada la especie como Vulnerable en todo el mundo. La principal amenaza para la especie es la pesca comercial que se realiza en toda su zona de distribución (excepto en Australia) debido a su carne, aletas y el aceite de su hÃgado. En los últimos años las estadÃsticas sugieren que su población se encuentra en retroceso.
Zebra shark (Leopard Shark in Thailandia) are nocturnal and spend most of the day motionless on the seabed. At night, they actively hunt for mollusks , crustaceans , small bony fish, and occasionally sea snakes within the cavities and hollows of reefs . Although solitary creatures for most of the year, they form large aggregations during the mating season. Zebra sharks are oviparous: females lay several dozen egg capsules, which they attach to underwater structures with adhesive filaments.
Zebra sharks are harmless and pose no threat to humans. They are very popular in public aquariums and on diving excursions. The World Conservation Union lists the species as Vulnerable worldwide. The main threat to the species is commercial fishing throughout its range (except in Australia) for its meat, fins, and liver oil. In recent years, statistics suggest that its population is declining.

Grass Snake / natrix helvetica. 09/07/22.
A close encounter with a Grass Snake. I think they are less 'angry looking' than Adders!
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
Its 21:50 in the evening and the last golden light of another endless Estonian summer evening glints off the side of a empty oil train as it enters the siding at Tamsalu station. Behind me a loaded train awaits the signal with two C36-7s bound for Muuga Harbor.

Snake wine is an alcoholic beverage produced by infusing whole snakes in rice wine or grain alcohol. The drink was first recorded to have been consumed in China during the Western Zhou dynasty and considered an important curative and believed to reinvigorate a person according to Traditional Chinese medicine. It can be found in China, Goa (India), Vietnam, and throughout Southeast Asia.
The snakes, preferably venomous ones, are not usually preserved for their meat but to have their "essence" and snake venom dissolved in the liquor. The snake venom poses no threat to the drinker. It is denatured by the ethanol—its proteins are unfolded and therefore inactive and would be denatured by stomach acid anyway. [Wikipedia]

I don't want to overdo things with the snakes but we really only see them like this once a year when they leave their dens and mate before spending the summer in their home ranges. They can be seen returning to their dens in the Autumn but not in this posture...Western wandering garter snakes (Thamnophis elegans vagrans). Photo by Frank

A one eyed Garter Snake stalks his prey, hidden in a forest of Canadian Mayflowers.
Seen in Victoria Park, in Truro, Nova Scotia, Canada.
They are lying on a pile of wood at the lake. Some times it is a little surprise, when they swimm next to you! They love swimming!!!
The anhinga (Anhinga anhinga), is sometimes called a "snake bird," because when swimming only the neck appears above water, so the bird looks like a snake ready to strike.
