There are about 3,600 different species of snakes - ranging from tiny 10cm thread snakes to pythons measuring over 8.5 metres! Most snakes are not poisonous and most that are use their venom to subdue or kill their prey - but of course some carry enough venom to kill a human being.

Did you know that 16th July has been designated World Snake Day? It's a great excuse to explore our snake themed activities - including crafts, colouring pages, printables, worksheets and puzzles - below!
