Explains what venom is and introduces common types of venomous poisonous snakes. From the Pelotes Island Nature A snake is a reptile without legs. A reptile usually has scales, lays eggs, breathes air, and doesn’t spend much time taking care of its babies. It is also coldblooded, which means that its body doesn’t stay the same temperature all the time. Our bodies stay at 98.6 F all day. Snakes get very cold on winter days and very hot in the summer. Because of this, snakes usually stay in burrows during very hot and cold weather. A burrow is a hole in the ground where they can live.
