Once beaten, twice shy. A snake is an animal that scares many people. In our daily life, Bambusa bambusa is a kind of snake that is often heard in life. It is generally recognized that this kind of snake is highly toxic. Although snakes are very similar to bamboo leaves, there are still great differences between them, mainly in habitat, food conditions and appearance characteristics.

Habitat environment First of all, from the perspective of habitat environment, this snake prefers to live in bushes with more trees and also prefers to live on rocks. However, whether living in bushes, weeds or trees, this kind of snake has one common feature, that is, it likes to appear near water sources, especially beside mountain streams.

There are some similarities and differences between the habitats of green snake and bamboo leaf green. The similarity between the two is that they both choose to live near the water source, and they all choose to live in rocks and trees. The difference between them is that green snakes choose to live in broad-leaved forests, while green bamboos mainly live in bushes.

Food conditions are different from snakes' habit of preying on mice. Bamboo leaf green, a kind of snake, mainly feeds on frogs, tadpoles, lizards and birds. From the characteristics of food division, it can be found that aquatic organisms occupy a very large proportion in Zhu's diet. Whether frogs, tadpoles or lizards, many can live in water or near water sources.

Different from bamboo leaf green, the food of green snake is mainly small animals and insects. Generally speaking, the main food of green snakes is earthworms and insect larvae. The emerald snake will become very quiet after preying on its prey, and its activity will decrease, so it will choose a quieter environment to hide.

Appearance characteristics: Bambusa bambusa, a kind of snake, its appearance accords with people's cognition of poisonous snakes. We will find that many poisonous snakes have one thing in common, that is, their heads are different from the non-toxic snakes we see. This kind of snake usually has a triangular head. Generally speaking, snakes with triangular heads are poisonous snakes. Bambusa bambusa is blue all over, which is the origin of its name, and it also provides a good stealth effect in the process of predation. At the same time, Bambusa bambusa is also a kind of snake with a high proportion of casualties in southern China, so we must pay attention to this kind of snake outdoors. The most obvious difference in appearance between green snake and bamboo leaf green lies in their heads. Different from the triangular head of bamboo leaf green, the head shape of green snake is our common ellipse. There are also differences in body length between the two snakes, and the physical appearance of bamboo leaf green is shorter than that of green snake.

So in the wild, we can distinguish bamboo leaf green from green snake according to these characteristics. Of course, when you meet snakes again, don't play with them out of curiosity. If they are not poisonous, they will be bitten at most, but if they are poisonous, the consequences will be very serious.
