How long do snakes live and how many years do snakes live?

It is difficult to observe the lifespan of snakes in nature, and there are not many records under breeding conditions, but there are only about 30 species of snakes. Pit vipers and American black snakes can live for more than 5 years, banded snakes and silver krait snakes can live for 6 years, night vipers and North American water snakes can live for 7 years, fishing snakes can live for 9 years, green mamba, cobra and king cobra can live for about 15 years, whip snakes, white-headed locusts and rattlesnakes can live for 13 to 14 years, royal snakes and African rock pythons can live for about 15 years, Indian pythons can live for 16 years, western diamond spotted rattlesnakes, rock pythons and copperhead vipers can live for more than 18 years, Madagascar pythons and steppe rattlesnakes can live for more than 19 years, and fish-eating pit and net pythons can live for 21 years. The black-spotted cobra and the European long-snouted pit can live for 22 years, the king snake can live for 23 years, the python can live for more than 25 years, and the black-lipped cobra can live for 29 years, which is the longest record. Snakes that live in a natural environment are killed before they live to their due life due to the presence of natural predators; Because predation is not easy and it is difficult to obtain adequate nutrition, the lifespan may be shorter than under rearing conditions.

However, some people believe that snakes generally live for more than 20 years, and that the larger ones live longer than the small ones.

The average lifespan of pet snakes such as king snakes, corn snakes, ball pythons, etc., is between 12-15 years, and the average lifespan of Burmese pythons and other pet snakes is between 20-30 years old, and the venomous snakes are slightly shorter than the above.

The lifespan of different species of snakes varies, and the average lifespan of most snakes is about 8-16 years, depending on the species and living conditions.

In general, the lifespan of small snakes is about 2 5 years, medium snakes are about 5 12 years, large snakes are 10 20 years, and pythons can live up to 30 to 40 years, or even longer. However, snakes in the wild are not as long as they are under artificial breeding conditions due to the unstable habitat environment, food shortages, and serious harm from natural enemies and diseases, which has been proved by many scientists' experiments.

Because the growth and development of venomous snakes are slower than those of non-venomous snakes, venomous snakes have a longer lifespan than non-venomous snakes (except for pythons). For example, the black snake in the non-venomous snake, although the body is fatter, but its lifespan is only half that of the pit viper. Pit vipers live for 7 12 years in captivity, with a maximum record of more than 15 years, and king cobras generally live up to 25 years.

Another example is the long, large mouse snake and gray rat snake, but its lifespan is much shorter than that of bamboo leaf green.

Snakes have a variable lifespan depending on their size. Small snakes: The lifespan is between 2-5 years, such as Chinese water snake, three-rope snake, white-striped snake, red snake, etc.

Medium-sized snakes: Medium-sized snakes have a lifespan of 5-12 years, and medium-sized snakes include black snakes, cobras, etc. Large snakes:

Medium-sized snakes have a lifespan of 10-20 years and are represented by pythons.

Snakes have a variable lifespan depending on their size.

1. Small snakes: the lifespan is between 2-5 years, such as Chinese water snake, three-rope snake, white-striped snake, red snake, etc.

2. Medium-sized snakes: Medium-sized snakes have a lifespan of 5-12 years, and medium-sized snakes include black snakes, cobras, etc.

3. Large snakes: medium-sized snakes have a lifespan of 10-20 years, represented by pythons.

<> generally, the lifespan of small snakes is about 2-5 years, medium-sized snakes are about 5-12 years, while large snakes can live up to about 10-20 years, and pythons can live to about 30-40 years or even longer.

The lifespan of different snakes varies, mainly related to their species and living conditions, and the growth and development of venomous snakes is slower than that of non-venomous snakes, so most venomous snakes except pythons live longer than non-venomous snakes.

1. How many years can a snake live

1. Snakes of different body types have different lifespans.

In nature, the lifespan of small snakes is generally about 2-5 years, medium-sized snakes are about 5-12 years, large snakes are about 10-20 years, and pythons can live up to 30-40 years, or even longer.

2. In different environments, the lifespan of snakes is also different.

1) Generally, snakes living in the wild such as flash scale snakes and blind snakes live in the wild, and the lifespan is about 1-3 years.

2) Through the recorded lifespan of 45 poisoned snakes, the lifespan of venomous snakes in the wild is about 10-20 years.

3) Under captivity, the life span of the black-lipped cobra can be as long as about 28 years.

4) According to the records, the Philadelphia Zoo in the United States once kept a large python with a lifespan of up to 40 years.

2. The natural enemies of snakes

1. Meerkat snake: also known as meerkat and so on, it mostly inhabits tropical jungles, has strong resistance to snake venom, and also eats cobras, and is one of the main natural enemies of snakes.

2. Snake vulture: up to one meter tall, famous for eating snakes, most snakes will die if they are pecked by it.

3. Honey badger: with high agility and natural anti-venom weight, it is generally seen that snakes will take the initiative to attack, and they will not feel it after being bitten by poisonous snakes, and will also take the mamba snake, a highly venomous snake, as food.

4. Eye King Snake: It belongs to the independent genus King Cobra, which is more ferocious than other eye snakes, has a large amount of detoxification, and its main food is other snakes, so it is difficult to see other species of snakes in the territory of the eye king snake.

Tips: Wild snakes belong to wild protected animals, and the protection of wild animals starts from themselves, refuses to buy and sell wild animal products, and does not interfere with the free life of wild animals. At present, the consumption of rare and endangered wild animals in society is not only a bad social habit, but also one of the reasons for the repeated prohibition of illegal hunting and killing of rare and endangered wild animals.

If there is no trade, there is no killing, and the consumption of wild animals is not eliminated, they do not belong on the table.

The average lifespan of a snake is about 20 years, and the longest can live for forty or fifty years.

Different sizes and species of snakes have different lifespans. For example, small snakes live around 2 to 5 years, medium snakes live 5 to 12 years, and large snakes live around 10 to 20 years. Pit vipers live for about 6 to 15 years, eye king snakes live for 5 to 12 years, and pythons generally live for 30 to 40 years, although generally bred snakes live longer than wild snakes.

Snake is the general name of all animals under the order Reptilidae, including about 20 families such as the family Pythonidae, pythonidae, and cobraidae. The snake has been living on Earth for more than 100 million years, and its footprints can be found in almost all parts of the world except the North and South Poles. At present, more than 3,000 species of snakes have been found worldwide, including more than 600 species of venomous snakes.

There are 216 species of snakes found in China, including 65 species of venomous snakes.

Types of snakes

There are many types of snakes, all over the world, from the toxicity to distinguish, mainly divided into non-poisonous and poisonous two species, among which the representatives of poisonous snakes are cobras, Pishan soldering iron heads, silver krait, krait, rattlesnakes, etc. are highly venomous snakes, and the snakes seen in the countryside generally belong to the snakes that are not poisonous. In terms of body size, it is mainly divided into small snakes and giant pythons, and the largest known snake in the world is the forest python.

In China, there are many species of venomous snakes in six provinces and autonomous regions, including Yunnan, Hainan, Taiwan, Guangxi, Guangdong and Fujian, with more than 22 species and subspecies.

The lifespan of small snakes is around 2 to 5 years, medium snakes are about 5 to 12 years, and large snakes are 10 to 20 years. Pythons generally live for 30 to 40 years.

The lifespan of different snakes also varies. Such as a black snake.

The lifespan of the pit viper is 3 to 5 years.

The lifespan of the king cobra is 6 to 15 years.

The lifespan of the black-necked cobra is 5 to 12 years, the black-necked cobra is 20 to 29 years, and the python is 30 to 45 years, or even longer.

In general, farmed snakes live longer than snakes that live naturally in the wild. Because the food and environmental factors of snakes living in the wild are unstable, as well as the invasion of natural enemies and the harm of diseases. The lifespan of a snake is related to the living habits of the species.

The lifespan of small snakes is about 2 5 years, medium snakes are about 5 12 years, large snakes are 10 20 years, and pythons can live up to 30 40 years, or even longer.
