Snakes are elongate legless carnivorous reptiles of the suborder Serpentes that can be distinguished from legless lizards by their lack of eyelids and external ears. Like all squamates, snakes are ectothermic amniote vertebrates covered in overlapping scales. Many species of snakes have skulls with many more joints than their lizard ancestors, enabling them to swallow prey much larger than their heads with their highly mobile jaws. In order to accommodate their narrow bodies, snakes' paired organs (such as kidneys) appear one in front of the other instead of side by side, and most have only one functional lung. Some species retain a pelvic girdle with a pair of vestigial claws on either side of the cloaca. Living snakes are found on every continent except Antarctica and most islands. Fifteen families are currently recognized comprising 456 genera and over 2,900 species.[1][2] They range in size from the tiny, 10&_160;cm long thread snake to pythons and anacondas of up to 7.6&_160;metres (25&_160;ft) in length. The recently discovered fossil Titanoboa was 13&_160;metres (43&_160;ft) long. Snakes are thought to have evolved from either burrowing or aquatic lizards during the Cretaceous period (c 150 Ma). The diversity of modern snakes appeared during the Paleocene period (c 66 to 56 Ma). Most species are non-venomous and those that have venom use it primarily to kill and subdue prey rather than self-defense. Some possess venom potent enough to cause painful injury or death to humans. Those which are non-venomous either swallow prey alive or kill it via constriction. The English word snake comes from Old English snaca, itself from Proto-Germanic *snak-an- (cf. German Schnake "ring snake", Swedish snok "grass snake"), from Proto-Indo-European root *(s)neg-o- "to crawl, creep", which also gave sneak as well as Sanskrit nagá "snake".[3] The word ousted adder as it went on to narrow in meaning, though in Old English næddre was the general word for snake.[4] The other term, serpent, is a french word, ultimately from Indo-European *serp- "to creep"[5] which also gave Greek érpein (e?p?) "to crawl".

Of all the animals in the animal kingdom, snake perhaps is the most feared, hated and revered.

The fact that just ten percent of the total snake species is poisonous is generally ignored, as people get almost mesmerised at the mere sight of this coiled creature. Such is the awe in which it is held since antiquity that people of almost all cultur... (read more)

9. Why Bother?
October 26, 2009
‘Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil.”’ – Job 1:8(NIV). “Whoever digs a pit may fall into it; whoever breaks through a wall may be bitten by a snake.” – Ecclesiastes 10:8(NIV).

In Job 1:12 God gave Satan permission to try Job, ‘The Lord said to Satan, “Very well, then, everything he has is in your hands, but on the man himse... (read more)
