おもしろい事実

Their extra-long tails, sometimes a third of their body length, help them balance when climbing!

These snakes don't have venom; they quickly grab slippery prey with tiny, backward-pointing teeth!

They give birth to live babies, not eggs, usually near water in late summer!

Western Ribbon Snakes sometimes 'play dead' by wriggling and going limp if really threatened.
