Snakes are also known as vipers. The word "serpent" originates from the Latin word serpens , referring to something that crawls without legs – a snake. As is commonly believed, colorful snakes aren't always venomous.

Snakes are reptiles, legless reptiles that inhabit every place on Earth except Antarctica. There are nearly 4,000 snakes to choose from, but we've narrowed down the coolest snakes to our top 11 picks list.

11. Ring-necked snake

Starting off our list is the ring-necked snake, which looks like it's wearing an orange necklace. Its average size is 10 to 15 inches, which also makes it cutely small. The cuteness and accessories really make this snake look cool.

Although they are common, these snakes are nocturnal and cryptic, making them difficult to spot in the wild. They tend to feed on earthworms and slugs, though they will also eat small frogs and lizards. Ring-necked snakes have been known to eat young snakes.

The ring-necked snake is found in southern Canada, Mexico, and the United States. They are kept as pets and feed mainly on insects and earthworms. There are several different species of ring-necked snakes, but they all have a characteristic band around their necks.

10. Palm Corn Snake

This snake is a color variant of the typical corn snake of the species Pantherophis guttatus . It has a creamy white body with brown freckles that look like pecan praline ice cream from a distance, although it also has some red spots on its spots. It looks like a classic dessert, which is pretty cool, so we've included this snake in our list of the coolest snakes in the world .

No one knows for sure why corn snakes are called corn snakes. This may be because they hang out near corn piles, or because their colorful scales look like corn. These snakes are usually bred in captivity, but can also be found in the wild. Their color is caused by a recessive gene.

Palmetto corn snakes are great snakes for first time owners, although they require a 15 to 20 year commitment. They strangle their prey rather than bite it, so they are less prone to bite. They also have very little venom, so even if they kill a human, it's not very dangerous.

The Palm Corn Snake gets its name from the fact that it is found in South Carolina, also known as the Palm State. The palm is a small, hairy palm tree-like plant that is hardly related to the palm corn snake.

9. Barbados Wire Snake

These snakes are really cool because they are so small. The largest Barbados line snakes are only 4 inches long, and they are blind burrowers.

The Barbados line snake was first discovered in 2008, but shortly after its discovery, the museum discovered misclassified specimens dating back to the late 1800s.

There is a similar invasive species, but very common, much like the Barbadian thread snake, which competes for the depleted territory available in Barbados. This snake is the blind flowerpot snake, and while it is similar to the Barbados line snake, it is quite different. Humans are ultimately the greatest threat to the rare Barbados line snake.

8. Scaleless Corn Snake

Scaleless corn snakes are not completely scaleless. It has some scales on its belly and markings on its body, but the fact that some parts of this snake don't even have scales makes it look pretty cool.

This small animal has protruding eyes and, in fact, its body proportions are not large compared to other snakes. Since the eyes don't have scales, they look huge.

The scaleless corn snake is almost always there because it is in captivity rather than in the wild. It is a cross between a corn snake and a rat snake. It exists in the wild, but is very difficult to find.

7. San Francisco Garter Snake

San Francisco garter snakes were declared endangered in 1967, and their numbers continue to decline due to development and the pet trade. Many of these snakes are stolen from their habitat by collectors, and it's easy to see why.

They look really cool. There are only a few thousand individuals in the wild, and it is illegal to harvest these snakes.

6. Blue Malaysian Coral Snake

Malaysian blue coral snakes mainly feed on other snakes. While it is clearly present in Malaysia, it also lives in Cambodia, Thailand, Singapore and Indonesia. This snake is aggressive and a scary choice for snake lovers.

This snake lives mainly in forested areas and its belly is almost light blue. It's a dangerous snake, but it's worth noting that its venom works in an unusual way. Bite can cause paralysis.

The red head and tail complement the monotonous geometric black and white of the body. Its body detail and the touch of color on the ends of this little creature certainly make it one of the coolest snakes on the planet.

5. Banana Ball Boa

The bright yellow of the tall chartreuse tree python has an almost pixelated pattern of green on top of it. Both colors are bold and contrast each other in a super eye-pleasing way.

3. Brazilian rainbow python

This is another snake that dazzles with its looks that could make it to the list of the coolest snakes . While its iridescence can be found on some other snakes, this one looks the coolest of them all. Its glistening scales are at their most radiant after they've shed.

These snakes spend half their time in trees and live in South and Central America, mostly in the Amazon basin. They are popular pets for snake connoisseurs, but only intermediate and advanced breeders should give these beauties a try.

Snow hognose snakes can grow up to 3 feet long. Many captive-bred snow hognose snakes are kept as pets not only for their snowy white color but also for their distinctly flattened snouts.

Their nose and color are two super cool attributes of a reptile.

Five Important Facts About Snakes

Snakes are a diverse group of reptiles that can be found almost everywhere in the world. They are known for their slender bodies, agile movements and sharp fangs.

Here are five key facts about snakes:

1. Variety: There are more than 3,000 species of snakes, ranging in size from the 4-inch thin wire snake to the 33-foot python.
2. Venomous vs. non-venomous: While all snakes have fangs, only about one-third of snake species are venomous. Venomous snakes use their fangs to kill their prey, while non-venomous snakes choke their prey by strangling them.
3. No Legs: Snakes do not have legs, but they are still able to move efficiently by using their muscles to glide across the ground. Some species can also climb trees and swim.
4. Hinged Jaws: Snakes have hinged jaws that can be opened, which allows them to eat prey much larger than their own head.
5. Sense of smell: Snakes have a keen sense of smell, which they use to locate prey, mate, and avoid predators.

In conclusion, snakes are fascinating creatures that have adapted to a wide range of environments and play important roles in their ecosystems as both predators and prey. Whether you love them or fear them, there's no denying that snakes are incredibly diverse and adaptable, making them a truly unique group of animals.
