Tiny snake

Although little is known about the habits of the Barbados threadsnake, some scientists hypothesize that its small size combined with its burrowing lifestyle probably compels it to feed on insect larvae, especially those of ants and termites, found in the soil. Female members of the species are egg layers that produce a single large elongated egg. Hatchlings are approximately one-half the size of a full-sized adult. The Barbados thread snake only measures 4 inches long when full grown. This means he won’t be swallowing rodents or other small mammals like most snakes do. It’s unlikely that a smaller snake is to be discovered, since diet could make it impossible for a baby snake to survive. The offspring of a snake smaller than the Barbados thread snake would likely be unable to find anything small enough to fit in its tiny mouth. Due to its small stature, the Barbados thread snake only lays one egg at a time, rather than the large clutches of larger snakes. When hatched, the infant snakes are already 2 inches long, half their adult length.

They can be find in Central and South America. They live in trees, palms, shrubs and vines, they have strong prehensile tail and usually prefer to stay near a permanent water source and eat small birds or rodents, frogs, lizards. It's not known to be very aggressive snake, but will not hesitate to strike if harassed. Adult female snake can grow up to 32 inches ((about 82 cm)), males can grow to about 27 inches ((69 cm)), weight is about 10-15 lbs ((4,5 - 6,8 kg)), life span usually 10-12 years, up yo 16 in captivity. This species is well-known for its lightning fast strikes. Its bite contains a dose of hemotoxic venom, capable of killing adult human. This beautiful snakes can be seen in green, yellow, reddish brown, golden and many more combinations. Interessing fact is they have extremely sensitive fleece between their eyes and nostril. According to one of the sources - with 1000 nerve endings per square millimeter Eyelash viper can notice a change in temperature of 0,026 degrees Celsius.

This spider does not build web like a normal spider, instead it's holding a web between its forelimbs while hangling upside down, waiting for a insect or other spider to pass by. When unsuspecting victim appears they wraps net over them like some kind of spider-gladiator. They can be find from Australia to Africa and the Americas.

Satanic Gecko + Rainbow Snake

This mystical species is very rare in the wild and reportedly remaining within only three protected areas of Madagascar. The satanic leaf-tailed gecko is unique in appearance and makes for a sought-after animal in the pet trade. They grow up to 6 inches ((15 cm)) including tail. They usually live in small shrubs, it's very rare to see this guys higher than 1 meter. When they sleep, they're hanging on their feets from branchs. Satanic leaf-tailed geckos are capable of living longer than 10 years.

Second animal I want to tell you about is Brazilian rainbow boa. Brazilian rainbows are a popular subspecies because of their outstanding appearance. Males reach sizes of  66 to 72 inches ((1,68 to 1,83 meters)) long. Large females can grow to 72 to 84 inches ((1,83 to 2,13 meters)) and weigh up to 9 pounds. These boas are readily available at exotic pet stores, or local reptile shows with several morphs available. When they are younger they are more prone to bite due to natural defense instincts, but as they become more used to handling tend to calm down. Like other species, the young Brazilian rainbow boas are probably preyed upon by birds of prey, small mammals or other reptiles. Their lifespan in the wild is estimated to be around 10 years, but in captivity, the species may live up to 30 years.

See you next time!
