Now this is hilarious but one of the most popular misconception. It is believed that snakes have a priceless Nag Mani studded in their forehead through which they can hypnotize anyone. A lot of snakes get killed and tortured at the hands of such false believers. Sounds pretty much like a dislocated shoulder. Well, swallowing is not about dislocation but flexibility. So, when a snake engulfs its food, this stretchy ligament enables the mandibles to separate.
These two are not synonyms although people tend to use the two terms interchangeably. Snakes are venomous as venom is a toxic that is injected into the target though a fang or stringer. Whereas, poison is either eaten, inhaled or absorbed through the skin. It is very rare for a snake to be poisonous. Few people tend to believe that snakes can fly.
A few of them can glide through the air by extending their ribs and pulling in the underside. Their free fall or gliding might appear as if they are flying. Snakes have been worshipped for ages not only in Hindu tradition but in various other communities too.
From Vasuki and Sheshnag in Hindu mythology to the Egyptian Cobra Goddess Wadjet, we find the mention of snakes in various spiritual traditions. Some traditions worshipped snakes and still do Hindu tradition while some associated them with evil Serpent Satan in Bible.
Liberating ourselves from the misconceptions and conserving the snakes will be the absolute way of offering our worships to this beautiful yet misunderstood creature. This is physically impossible, as snakes do not have lips. Many people believe the farmers made this up to explain the lack of milk their cows produced.
No, a snake should not be fed milk. The snake may drink the milk if they are very thirsty, but it is not good for them. Milk can cause many digestive issues for a snake. If this was continued the snake could possibly pass away from the stress on the digestive tract. If a snakes is a pet, it should be provided with a water bowl. This bowl should be big enough to enable the snake to lay in the bowl as well as drink from it if needed. Note: Snakes are very picky about water.
Pet snakes might need their water to be replaced every 2 nd day if you want to encourage them to drink water. If someone is concerned about their pet snake getting enough water, they can check easily. Snakes are not able to consume milk due to their lack of the appropriate enzymes. Snakes only drink water to hydrate.
During the Hindu festival Naag Panchami snakes may be observed drinking milk. This is a response to extreme dehydration.
The snakes in this festival are not provided with water for many days. If a snake is a pet it should be provided with a large water dish with fresh water to enable the snake to drink when needed. Mother snakes do not produce milk for their young. Snakes are predator animals who are born with the instinct to hunt. Despite their name, milk snakes do not drink milk.
This name is the result of a myth. Milk snakes like all other snakes should only drink water. I am the founder and owner of Fauna Facts. My mission is to write valuable and entertaining information about animals and pets for my audience. Some tropical snakes just use their agility to the fullest and glide from one place to another and it does not bolster their flying capability at all. Well, there has not been any evidence substantiating this. Snakes are kind of organisms that love to move solo and are not as 'sentimental' as Bollywood movies try to project them.
