Snakes live everywhere on Earth except Ireland, Iceland, New Zealand, and the North and South Poles.

The decapitated head of a dead snake can still bite, even hours after death.
These types of bites usually contain huge amounts of venom.

Don't joke anyhow with snakes around

The top 5 most venomous snakes in the world are
1) inland taipan
2) eastern brown snake
3) coastal taipan
4) tiger snake
5) black tiger snake.

The inland taipan is the most toxic & voluminous venom when it bites. It's venom can conveniently klll up to 80 people in one strike

Snakes do not have external ears or eardrums, their skin, muscles, and bones carry sound vibrations to their inner ears.

The death adder has the fastest strike of any snake in the world. It can attack, inject venom, and go back to striking position in under 0.15 seconds.

Snakes evolved from a four-legged reptilian ancestor—most likely a small, burrowing, land-bound lizard—about 100 million years ago. Some snakes, such as pythons and boas, still have traces of back legs.

The fear of snakes is called "ophiophobia or herpetophobia"

This phobia is one of the most common phobias worldwide. Approximately 1/3 of all adult humans are ophidiophobic, which suggests that humans have an innate, evolutionary fear of snakes.

The warmer a snake’s body, the more quickly it can digest its prey.

It takes 3–5 days for a snake to digest its meal. For very large snakes, such as the anaconda, digestion can take weeks.

The heaviest snake in the world is the anaconda.
It weighs over 595 pounds (270 kg) and can grow to over 30 feet (9m) long. It eats capybaras, jaguars etc.

It's still a long thread but I'll make sure I finish this series on time before moving into another.

Snakes like to lie on roads and rocky areas because stones and rocks absorb heat from the sun, which warms them. Basking on these surfaces warms a snake quickly so it can move. If the temperature reaches below 50° Fahrenheit, a snake’s body does not work properly.

If a snake is threatened soon after a meal, it will often regurgitate its food so it can quickly escape the perceived threat. A snake’s digestive system can dissolve everything but a prey’s hair, feathers, and claws.

Snake has held various meanings throughout history. For example, The Egyptians viewed the snake as representing royalty and deity. In the Jewish rabbinical tradition and in Hinduism, it represents sexual passion and desire.
Romans interpreted the snake as a symbol of eternal love

Because snakes shed their skin, they are often symbols of rebirth, transformation, and healing. For example, Asclepius, the god of medicine, carries a staff encircled by a snake.
