Life cycle

The snake life cycle is hatchling,
juvenile, sub adult and adult. That’s a
snake life cycle. This also goes for all
snakes. Also if you see a snake egg the
mom’s not far away. So if you see eggs
don’t go close to them.
Diet

Snakes like to eat lizards, frogs, birds
and small mammals. You would not
want to get bit by a snake. Some can
kill you in one bite. So if you see a
snake don’t go too close .Lastly, a snake
will also eat other snakes.
Habitat

Snakes have many habitats , from rain
forest to jungles and your back yard.
They can live in a rain forest because all
of the animals live there, like their
favorite small prey animals. They can
live in jungles because of the frogs and
birds .Lastly, they can live your back
yard off of the birds and small animals.
