YEAR OF THE SNAKE
We are celebrating the Chinese New Year this week and it’s the Year of the Snake! We know that these infamous reptiles get a bad rap, but we respect and admire these amazing animals. We’ll be meeting a few different species, you’ll get to guess the species and we’re making a sock snake! So let’s get this party started with a trip to Southeast Asia to meet one royal snake!
MEET THE KING COBRA!
Range/Habitat: Southeast Asia/rainforest-grasslands
Diet: Carnivore: snakes
Length: 9 ¾-16 ft
Conservation Status: common
Fun Facts:
- King Cobras are the longest venomous snake on earth.
- They have smooth brown scales.
- King cobras raise the front of their body up when threatened and spread out a hood to look bigger.
- King cobras are excellent swimmers.
- They usually live deep in the forest.
- Both male and female king cobras guard the eggs.
King cobras are quite fierce looking when they stand up in the pose that they are famous for. Luckily they normally do not have much contact with humans, since they like the deep parts of the forests! We respect these predators and we’ll do it from a good distance.

From a distance sounds like a good idea to me!
Yes it is :)!
Once I ate an earthworm. That snake is too big (and too venomous) to eat.
Love and licks,

How was the earthworm? Yuck!
Yum!
