1. In Vietnam, it is possible to order a cobra blood wine from restaurant menu. The waiter will take a live cobra, kill it on the spot, drain the blood into a shot glass of rice wine, and top it off with the cobra’s still beating heart for you to gulp down.... Yuk


2. In 2012, a Nepalese farmer named Mohammed Salmodin was bitten by a cobra and bit the cobra back. The cobra died and he went about his daily business with no symptoms as if nothing had happened.. He finally agreed to go to the hospital after pressure from family, neighbors and police.


3. On April 1, 2007, Google sent an email to its employees warning that a python was loose in its New York Office. It was not a joke. – Source


4. If two rattlesnakes fight, they don’t use their fangs to poison the other. – Source

5.In 2009, a Florida couple was charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter of their daughter after their pet Burmese python escaped its cage and squeezed the two-year-old to death. – Source

8. Rattlesnake antivenom costs $20,000 per vial. One Florida boy needed 75-80 vials, which adds up to about $1.6 million – Source


9. A pastor died in 1983 after handling a timber rattlesnake during a Pentecostal service. About 29 years later his son died in the exact same way.


10. Anacondas mate in a giant “breeding ball” with 1 female and up to 12 males, and they stay in that position for over a month.

11.Up until the early 1900’s, there was an extensive population of Rattlesnakes in the Bronx. They were wiped out when Farmers let their pigs hunt them.


12. The Wildlife Conservation Society has, since the early 20th century, offered a large cash reward (currently worth US$50,000) for live delivery of any snake of 9 meters (30 ft) or more in length, but the prize has never been claimed, despite the numerous sightings of giant anacondas.


13. Sonoran Coral Snake, instead of hissing or rattling, farts when threatened – Source


14. When a snake in the Tokyo Zoo was given a live hamster (as a meal), they two became “best friends.” – Source

15. There are no snakes in New Zealand. – Source

16. The decapitated head of a dead snake can still bite hours after death. Because dead snakes can’t regulate how much venom they inject, such bites can often contain large amounts of venom.

17. Ball pythons are treated with great care when they happen to wander into a Nigerian village. They are allowed to roam freely or gently picked up and placed out in a forest or field. If one is accidentally killed, many towns build a coffin for the snake’s remains and give it a short funeral.


18. 50,000 people a year die from snakebites, but only about 5 die in Australia, where the deadliest snakes live.

19. The heads of a two-headed snakes fight over food if vision of each other is not blocked while being fed.
