Reptile 1


While we were out during the night hunting for food, we saw a small whitish red snake hanging from a branch of a tree. It was a brown tree snake and it was mean. The snake wasn't very big, it was about 2 meters long and not very wide at all. We found out these snakes are nocturnal and only come out at night. There coloring range from white to yellow to red and can even be brown sometimes. Not very many animals prey on this snake because of how high in the tree it stays. This snake preys on small mammals, birds, eggs, nestlings and lizards. These snakes young are called hatchlings and about around 20 are born at a time.
