Do snakes live in the Sahara Desert?

Answer 1

"they get food and then that food gets digested into the saliva and terned into a kinda liquid and then that gives them energy when they need it. and any way snakes only use energy when they strike pray and when the are waiting to strike the don't use much energy so they don't need much. there is a snake in the amazon rain forest which can live without food for months without dieing"

Not exactly. An animal is always using energy to keep itself alive. The question is how much energy is used. Snakes do try to stay in the shade and stay still, but that is to regulate their temperature. Snakes and other reptiles are ectothermic, they get much of their energy from the sun. The do not regulate their body temperature like humans do. If we get too hot we sweat to cool down; if we get too cold we shiver to make heat. Snakes can't do that, they have to either find a cooler, or warmer place to stay.

Snakes can go a long time between eating by slowing down their metabolism, or how fast their body uses energy.

Snakes in the Sarah have specific adaptions to living in such a hot area. First, many use a side-winding type of locomotion, just like the Side-Winder in the United States. This allows them to move over loose sand without sinking in.

Secondly, there are certain snakes there called Saw-Scales. They reduce water loss by not hissing to warn off predators. You lose water every time you breath or speak. These snakes reduced that by making a hissing sound when they rub their scales together instead of hissing out loud.

Snakes also avoid water loss by excreting less water than mammals.
