Snakes

Popular Pets provides a wealth of information about the captive care of snakes. Snakes are from the order Squamata, and share the order with Lizards. They are long reptiles without legs. Snakes strectch vary in length from a couple inches to many feet.
Snake skin is scaled, and remarkably elastic, allowing the snake to eat very large prey. Snakes do not have moveable eyelids or external ears either.
