Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The Eastern yellow-bellied racer is also known by which name in its home region?

Answer: Blue racer

Some of these snakes have a bluish cast and thus are known as blue racers. If disturbed, this snake will vibrate its tail. There is another snake known as the blue racer, which lives in a different part of the USA.
2. What snake is the red milk snake often confused with?

Answer: Coral snake

Even in areas the coral snake doesn't occur, the red milk snake is often mistaken for one. The red milk snake is a non-venomous constrictor. Its prey includes rodents, small snakes and lizards.
3. What snake is often referred to as the "salt and pepper" snake?

Answer: Speckled king snake

The speckled king snake is named for the small yellow or cream colored spots along its back. Interestingly, the speckled king snake is immune to the venom of most venomous snakes.
4. Some snakes have remnants of limbs, hips and rear leg bones. What are these snakes referred to as?

Answer: Primitive

Lizard-like snakes evolved from reptiles with four legs. In most snakes, over time, these legs disappeared. Primitive snakes, including boas and pythons, still retain remnants of these limbs within their bodies.
5. Why do farmers value the presence of the black rat snake?

Answer: Rodent control

While frogs and birds are prey of the black rat snake, it is for rodent control that farmers value black rat snakes. This snake is a great climber and will climb trees looking for birds and eggs to eat.
6. Sea snakes spend all or most of their lives at sea. What adaptation makes this possible?

Answer: All of these

Sea snakes have all these physical adaptations. Members of Hydrophiidae, true sea snakes, are ovoviviparous, giving live birth. Therefore they do not need to go on land to lay eggs.
7. Most snakes lay their eggs and leave. Which of these snakes stays with her eggs?

Answer: Indian python

The Indian python is considered a good mother. The female will coil around the clutch of eggs to keep them warm and protect them from predators.
8. The eastern hog-nosed snake has an interesting defense when threatened. What is it?

Answer: It turns over and plays dead

When threatened the eastern hog-nosed snake puffs itself up, flattens its neck and hisses loudly. If these tactics fail it then rolls onto its back and plays dead. It will even leave its mouth hanging open.
9. The black mamba is not a black colored snake.

Answer: True

The black mamba is not a black colored snake. It is normally olive green or a grey brown color. It is called "black" mamba for the color of the inside of its mouth. When threatened the black mamba will display the black interior of its mouth to deter the attacker.
10. What does the Graham's crayfish snake eat?

Answer: crayfish

Crawfish are the preferred prey of this snake but they are known to also eat tadpoles and frogs. This snake likes to bask in tree branches that hang over water. If startled, it will drop into the water below to escape.
