Snakes (suborder Serpentes) are elongated, limbless, flexible reptiles. There are about 2,900 species of snakes. Of these, 375 are venomous.
And there is some facts that i bet you don't know:
Snakes don't smell with their noses like humans. They have a forked or split tongue that they use to smell and taste chemical compositions in the air.
Snakes don't have eyelids or ears, either, and their eyes don't move. To hear they feel vibrations through the ground.
Humans' skin flakes off a little at a time, but snakes shed their entire skin nearly three times a year. This is called molting.
While other one-year-olds are just learning to walk and talk, the children of Kalbelia tribe are introduced to the centuries-old art of snake charming. All the children of Kalbelia tribe come face to face with a poisonous cobra at age two. They treat them as their siblings.
Snake charming is the practice of pretending to hypnotize a snake by playing an instrument. A typical performance may also include handling the snakes or performing other seemingly dangerous acts, as well as other street performance staples, like juggling and sleight of hand. The practice is most common in India. The Kalbelia tribe in India is famous for Snake Charming.
The Kalbelias were known for their frequent movement from one place to another in ancient times. Their main occupation is catching snakes and trading snake venom. Hence, the dance movements and the costumes of their community bear a resemblance to that of the serpents. They are also known as Sapera, Jogira or Jogi. They follow Hindu religion. They trace their ancestry from Kanlipar, the 12th disciple of Guru Gorakhnath.
PROTIP: If you are ever bitten by a snake, scorpions, bees or anything venomous, immediately use a stun-gun where the bite-marks are, it will neutralize the venom in an electric discharge, so always wear a stun-gun when traveling in deserts, jungles and hay-fields, you never know when you might get bitten and it will save you a trip to the hospital and a lot of money.
