Snakes are reptiles or cold-blooded creatures. They belong to the same group as lizards (the scaled group, Squamata) but from a subgroup of their own (Serpentes).  Actually snakes have two legs but a long time ago they had claws to help them slither along. Snakes are not slimy. Snakes are covered in scales which are just bumps on skin. Their skin is tough however it’s shiny and it’s used to make them reduce friction as the snake slithers on the ground.Snakes usually sun bathe on rocks within the heat weather. This is because snakes are cold-blooded; they have to sunbathe because they need sun’s heat to heat their bodies up. Most snakes live in the country. Some varieties of snakes sleep in trees, some sleep in water, however most survive in the bottom in deserted rabbit holes, in thick, long grass and in recent logs. A snake’s food sometimes consists of frogs, lizards, and mice and different snakes. The Eunectes murinus will eat little crocodiles and even bears. several snakes defend themselves with their fangs. Some snakes are protected by scaring their enemies away just like the elapid snake. The flying snakes glide far away from danger. Their ribs unfold apart and also the skin stretches out. Its technique is simply just like the sugar gliders.

• Avoid sun to protect their shiny skin

• Live in a rabbit hole to avoid sunbathing

• They like to sun bathe to make them stay warm.
