Sumenep Resident Spread 3 Sacks of Poisonous Snake in Courtroom

Mohammad Amin is really desperate. Sumber Nangka Villager, District of Arjasa, Sumenep is determined to release dozens of 3 sack of poisonous snakes Sumenep Court building, Tuesday, February 7, 2012.

Amin was assisted of snake charmer who accidentally release snakes. As a result of the action, PN Sumenep employee ran out of the courthouse fear of being bitten by a snake. While Amin was arrested by police for questioning.

Amin claimed the action was done because of land disputes annoyed Elementary School in District Duko I Arjasa among themselves as the heirs of the plaintiff, and the district government as a defendant Sumenep abruptly terminated without the presence of his judges or lawyers. "It's not fair, the law only touches a small community," he said.

According to Amin's action is not to harm people. He just wanted to eradicate the "rats" who inhabit the building the PN Sumenep and can only be destroyed by poisonous snakes. "Last time I came was still reading the conclusion, suddenly I got the copy of the decision that win by District Government," he said with exasperation.

After police secured Amin, dozens of employees of PN Sumenep arrest dozens snake and put into sacks. The snakes were taken to Police headquarters Sumenep as evidence.

The case itself began in 2009. Amin suddenly sealed the building SDN Duko I. He reasoned that the sealing is done because the land area of 2500 m2 which Duko SDN is built belongs to the family and the district government just borrows. "It's been 35 years of my land is used, but we were never able to compensate, so sue me now" he said.

Snake Behavior

• Snake Bite
• Snake Bite Serum

Physical Characteristics
Snake lack limbs, a sternum (breastbone), a shoulder girdle (skeletal elements for support of the front limbs), external ear openings, and a urinary bladder. In addition, the pelvic girdle (skeletal elements for support of the hind limbs) is absent in most snakes.

Snake also lack internal mechanisms for maintaining body heat and therefore have variable body temperatures (poikilothermy). Body temperature may be controlled behaviorally, however, by moving in and out of the Sun's rays. Metabolism varies greatly with body temperature. Temperature zone snakes are subjected to potentially fatal low winter temperatures. Such snakes hibernate, finding shelter in deep underground burrows or crevices, where they remain inactive and their metabolism slows dramatically. Conversely, some snakes may estate in deep, cool, subterranean receives during exclusively hot and dry periods.

Snake Skull
Partly as an adaptation to permit the swallowing of large food (item whole, the snake's skull has been increasingly advanced snakes the only solid portion of the skull is the bran case, the upper skull consisting broadly of the brain case in the rear; small protective bones around the eyes and snout in front; and four rather long tooth bearing bones below. All four tooth bearing bones are loosely attached to the skull by elastic ligaments and are independently movable. The bones of the snout are also movable and allow the snake to bend its snout upward.

Snake Eyes
Except for the blind snakes, families Typhopodae, Anomalepidae, and Leptotyphopidae, whose rudimentary eyes are situated beneath the head scales, a snake's eyes are permanently covered and protected by the transparent lower eyelid. The lower eyelid is fused to the vestigial upper eyelid, snakes, therefore, cannot blink or "close" their eyes. The lenses of snake's eyes are rounded and are normally adjusted for distance vision. To focus on near objects, the snake moves the lenses forward. Although the eyes are normally set for distance, a snake's distance vision is typically poor except for detecting movement.

Snake Hearing
Snakes lack external ear openings, eardrums, and middle ear cavities. The small, sound conducting columella bone, however, is present. When the snake's head is on the ground, earth borne vibrations (sounds) are picked up by the lower jaw and skull and are transmitted by bone conduction to the columella and through the columella to the inner ear. Certain experiments have shown that the snake's inner ear, as well as specialized nerve endings in the skin, can detect low frequency airborne vibrations.

Jacobson's Organ
The Jacobson's or vomeronasal, organ is located in front of the roof of the mouth. It is a chemical receptor capable of detecting tinny chemical particles, including those given off in the body scent of animals. The snake's forked tongue is flicked out to allow the chemical particles in the air to adhere to or dissolve in the moisture on the tongue. The tongue is then brought back to the Jacobson's organ, where its forked tip inserted into the organ's two opening and the chemical particles identified.

Heat Detection
Snakes can detect heat, or infrared rays through specialized groups of nerve endings scattered through the skin. These heat receptors are presumably involved in sun basking and other thermoregulatory behaviors. More specialized heat receptors are present as pits along the upper lip margins of many  pythons and boas. In the pit vipers, such as the rattlesnakes, the specialized heat receptors (here called pit organs) are highly developed and occur as a single pair at the front of the head. The paired frontal placement of the pit organs enables the rattlesnake not only to detect the presence of warm bodied prey in the dark but also to strike at it accurately up to a distance of about 50 cm.

Python Snake Found in Pool

Python Pattern Snake is a kind of non venomous large snakes. The biggest size can exceed 10 meters. Longer than an anaconda (Eunectes), the largest and longest snake in South America. Other names are the python; rice field snakes; snake petola (Ambon), and in pythonor often in English reticulated retics.

Python snake with four-meter long wallowing in the bottom of the pool in a private club Malaysia made the swimmer running, according to a report and description of staff at the club.

A woman who dive in the pool saw a huge snake 'resting' at the bottom of the metal stairs on Tuesday, according to the Malaysian national news agency, Bernama.

A total of eight people, including children, were swimming in the pool at the club in the small town of Seremban, about 60 kilometers from the capital city of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, when the sirens sounded, he said.

Management of the club contacted fire department, which issued the python. No one was injured. Quoting a spokesman of Fire Department, Bernama reported that the python might have sneaked into the pool from the bushes nearby to cool themselves, because the air is very hot.

Python commonly found in tropical Malaysia, but attacks on humans are rare. Not yet clear what type of python in the pool, but pattern python can grow up to achieve more than eight feet long. Fire Department can not give comment. A club official confirmed that the snake had moved safely.

Snake Bite Serum

Patients bitten by venomous snakes are usually given anti-venom, snake venom antidote; unfortunately these drugs often cause severe allergic reactions. To overcome this, there searchers suggested give adrenaline in snake bite victims before they were given anti-venom.

In a study of 1,000 people who were taken to hospital from being bitten by venomous snakes in Sri Lanka, known to those given low dose of adrenaline immediately before the given anti-venom, allergic reaction was reduced to 43 percent within an hour and fell down to 38 percent in 48 hours.

Meanwhile, patients in the control group given promethazine, hydrocortisone or placebo, did not show the same benefits.

The researchers stressed the importance of these results, especially in countries where cases of snake bite is still a common health problems and allergic reactions resulting anti-venom because most lethal.

"Currently there is no action of anti-venom manufacturer or regulations of the WHO to improve the quality of anti-venom. Until that time comes, we can show early treat with low doses of the hormone adrenaline can be effective and safe for preventing acute reactions to the anti-venom," said researchers from the University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka.

Python Snake Wedge

A python snake with a length of two meter wedge under the car wheel in Sutrisno Street, Medan, North Sumatra, Wednesday (22/12) at night. This event also makes people excited because the snake evacuation process lasted a lot.

Hundreds of residents gathered beneath a car that contained a snake. It's not a criminal event that makes people excited, but there is a python stuck under car wheels. It was so hectic with people who come, the traffic also had jammed.

Suspected snake entered under the car while their owners tour to the waterfront Percut, Deli Serdang. Although every effort is made, the lack of equipment and the position of the snake is difficult to evacuate, about two hours being tried but failed. The owners then took the car to the car workshop to save the snake.

The Snake Bite

This accident was seeing on the television, when animal tamer try to playing a big snake like mamba snake. By touching the body part of the snake. The snake may feel angry because being played by this man and then the snake strike on the tamer hands, but several time the snake strike is missed. When the body is touch on the right side the snake is strike to the right try to bite a hand’s animal tamer. When touch in the left side, the snake also try to bite by strike to the left. Several times this snake is fail to get the hands tamer.

Pit Viper

Pit vipers are venomous snakes having a pair of heat-sensing pits in the front of the head, and hollow erectile fangs used to transmit venom. These snakes characteristically have broad, lance-shaped heads and vertical pupils. Terrestrial species are typically stout-bodled and marked with patterns of brown, gray, yellow, pink or black; tree in color, with markings of yellow, red, or black. The pit vipers are closely related to the true vipers and are usually classified as a subfamily, Crotalinae, of the viper family, Viperidae.

The pit organ is located between the nostril and the eye on each side of the head. It is supplied with nerves and blood vessels and is partially enclosed in a cavity in the side of the maxillary, a bone of the upper jaw. The pit has a thermo receptor function and is sensitive to infrared radiation; it is capable of responding to change in temperature of only fraction of a degree. Thus pit vipers can detect the presence of animals with body temperatures only slightly different from that of the environment.

In North America, pit vipers are represented by about 31 species of Rattlesnae (genera Crotalus and Sistrurus) and by the Copperhead and Water Moccasin, or cottonmouth (Agkistrodon). The greatest diversity of pit vipers occur in Central and South America, with 2 or 3 species of Rattlesnake, about 60 species of lance-heads, such as the Fer-De-Lance (Bothrops), and the Bushmaster (Lachesis). In the Old World, pit vipers occur from the north Caspian region of Europe, across Asia to Japan and the Indonesian Archipelago.

King Snake

King snakes, genus Lampropeltis, in the family Colubridae, are moderately sized, powerful constrictors and have smooth scales and single anal plates (the scale in front of the vent). Their diet consist of a variety of vertebrates, including other snakes. Six species occur in the United States. The prairie king snake, or mole snake, L. calligaster, is distributed from Maryland westward to Nebraska and Texas and southward to Florida. It is brown or tan with darker biotches. Most subspecies of the common king snakes, L. getulus, are dark brown or black with white or yellow bands, stripes, or spots. This species occur from coast to coast. Two species, the Sonora mountain king snake, L. pyromelana, and the California mountain snake, L. zonata, are restricted to mountainous region in the western United States and Mexico. They are tree colored with red, black, and white. The Mexican king snake, L. mexicana, is marked with gray, black and sometimes orange and is found in southwestern Texas and northern portion of the Mexican often known as Milk Snakes.

Lamprey

Lamprey in Indonesia called "Belut Lamprey", and hagfishes are the two surviving groups of jawless vertebrates. The earliest known lampreys, genus Mayomyzon, are from the Pennsylvanian Period, about 300 million years ago, and are thought to be closely related to an extinct group of jawless fishes, the ostracoderms, which flourished earlier. Lamprey is eel-like in shape and lack scales and paired fins (pectorials and pelvics), but they do have a tail and one or two dorsal (top) fins. In place of jaws, lampreys have an oral sucking disk bearing teeth and a rasplike tongue. The internal body support consists of notochord ("backbone") and a cartilaginous skeleton. Lamprey have seven separate gill openings on each side and a single nostril on the upper part of the head.

Some lampreys live only in fresh water. Other species are anodromous, living in marine waters but breeding in fresh water. Lamprey are found in cold to cool coastal and inland waters of both the Northern and Southern hemispheres, with the exception of all of Africa but the northwestern tip.

Although individuals within a single lamprey species may be either parasitic or non-parasitic, it is more usual for a species to be exclusively one or the other. When lamprey hatch they develop into small, blind, toothless, almost wormlike larvae called ammocetes, which burrow in the stream bottom. Ammocetes are filter feeders, straining tiny organisms from the water for food. After several years the ammocetes metamorphose, or change, into the adult form. If the species or individual is non-parasitic, the digestive system degenerates and the adult neither feeds nor grows, merely surviving long enough to reproduce. If parasitic, the adult will adhere to the bodies of the other fish with its sucking disk and then rasp their flesh to feed their blood and tissue.

Mamba Snake

UK Student Killed by Mamba Snake, they bite in South Africa.

The body of a young British wildlife enthusiast, who would have celebrated his 29th birthday today, was flown back to London last night after he was bitten by a deadly black mamba snake in South Africa.

Nathan Layton was taking part in a year-long training programme to fulfil his dream of becoming a game ranger when he was bitten by the snake, Africa’s most deadly, at a safari college on the edge of the Kruger game reserve.

British wildlife student dies in front of girlfriend minutes after being bitten by black mamba snake

Mr Layton was walking in the grounds of the South African Wildlife Campus in Hoedspruit with teachers and other students taking a safari field-guide course organised by the nature group Bushwise when the attack happened.

A British wildlife student has died after being bitten by a snake in South Africa.
Nathan Layton, 27, was walking in long grass with a group of fellow students and teachers when the black mamba struck.

He was comatose almost immediately and died moments later as his girlfriend, 23-year-old Laura Woolley, looked on in horror.

Mamba Snake.

The black mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis) is a highly aggressive and venomous elapid snake. It is the largest venomous snake in Africa and the second largest venomous snake in the world. Only the King Cobra is larger. Adult black mambas have an average length of 2.5 meters (8.2 ft) and a maximum length of 4.5 meters (14 ft). The black mamba receives its name from the black coloration inside of its mouth, rather than their skin color which is a gray to olive tone. The black mamba is reputed to be the fastest moving snake in the world, and has been claimed to move at up to 20 km/h (12.5 mph), but these claims are based on studies of dubious accuracy.

A single bite from a Black Mamba may inject enough venom to kill from 20-40 grown men, easily killing one unless the appropriate anti-venom is administered in time. When cornered, they will readily attack. When in the striking position, the mamba flattens its neck, hisses very loudly and displays its inky black mouth and deadly fangs. It can rear up around one-third of its body from the ground which allows it to reach heights of approximately four feet (1.21 meters). When warding off a threat, the black mamba usually delivers multiple strikes, injecting its potent neuro- and cardiotoxin with each strike, often attacking the body or head, unlike most other snakes.

Cobra

Cobra is the name popularly applied to African and Asian snakes of the family Elapidae that are capable of spreading long ribs to flatten their necks into a hood when threatened. Included are six species of the genus Naja, as well as the South African ringhal (Hemachatus), king Cobra (Pseudohaje), and shield-nose cobra (Aspidelaps).

 

Cobra bites are potentially dangerous to humans. A few species, the ringhal, black neck cobra, and some species Asian cobra, can spray venom from their fangs accurately with human eyes causes immediate, severe irritation of the conjunctiva and cornea. If untreated, permanent blindness may result.

 

Cobra are large snakes, usually 1 m (3.3 ft) in length or longer. The king cobra, or hamadryad, holds the record length of 5.58 m (18.3 ft) for a venomous snake. Cobra are famous for their use by Oriental snake to visual cues, have a rather slow strike, and are of spectacular appearance.

 

The Indian cobra is a favorite of snake charmers because daylight hampers its ability to make an accurate strike. At night, however the venomous snake is extremely dangerous. Only 10 % of cobra bites are fatal. Yet it is estimated that cobra kill 10,000 Indians each years. 

Cobra Snakes

Some of the largest snakes in the world, both poisonous and non-poisonous, are found in Indonesia. Many species are restricted to a single or small group of island within the Archipelago. People are often wary of snakes and although a snake will rarely attack a person, it is sensible to treat all snakes as poisonous if one is uncertain of the species. This fear of snakes has often led to them being killed on sight, which is unfortunate as many species are beneficial in reducing the number of agriculture pests, particularly rodents.

Enchanting Cobras

Poisonous snakes are a minority in Indonesia and as in most other countries, the incident of snakes bite is almost entirely restricted to people living in and around forest and scrubland. The most common poisonous snakes found in Indonesia are the southern spitting cobra (Naja sputatrix) which occur from Java to Alor and the equatorial spitting cobra in Borneo and Sumatra. Cobra are the easiest snakes to recognize as they rise up when threatened, spreading their long, thin neck ribs to form a distinctive hood around the head. Their poison is neurotoxic, it affect to the victim and death can be fairly rapid if the patient does not receive attention once bitten.

The world's largest poisonous snakes is the king cobra (Ophiophagus Hannah), which can reach a length of 5.8 m. A specialist snake eater, this is a shy forest-dwelling species which only attack human when provoked. Its large venom gland contain enough poison to kill an elephant. The king cobra is the only snake known to make a nest of soil and leaf litter, gathering fallen leaves from the forest floor. The nest is about 30 centimeters high and may contain 20 to 40 eggs. These are guarded by the mother until they hatch.

Indonesian Popular Animals

Indonesia have a special animals that is seldom found in the world. That animals find on some island on Indonesian achipelago. Anoa is only find in Sulawesi island, Komodo is found in Nusatenggara, Cendrawasih is only found in Irian Jaya and Badak-Java only found in West Java. They are a very special animals that you hard to find in other country.
