like if there is a tree over a river can they climb the tree and make their home there??
Answers:
NO...
No..but some time they try to..
.no. Who told you they could? Alligators are water creatures and need to be in the water most of the time to support their body weight, otherwise their organs would be crushed by the weight of their body.
What do you mean like live there?...As far as I know they do not act like big cats...
If the tree is way bent over, like almost horizontal, and the gator isn't very large, it could possibly climb it. I don't know why it would, though, that isn't their natural environment.
If you're phobic about gators falling or jumping out of trees on you, I wouldn't worry about it, I have never heard of it happening!
Snakes, though...that's a whole 'nother story!
Hah, it's ridiculous!! Alligators are massive creatures weighing 400 - 1000 kg, and they have very small legs that can hardly support their weight on ground, how can they climb trees? However, lizards as big as monitors can climb slanted trees.
no. if there is something they want in the tree it might face up the tree but it could never actually climb it.
Yes! They dangle their offspring over the heads of innocent canoers below an the little 'gaters' bite their heads off as they pass under the trees. Well, actually they don't bite their heads off cause the gaters are no larger than kittens.
However, they're closely related to the northern 'snow snake' that slithers beneath the snow and is white and rarely seen as you might imagine, but their deadly method of killing is dreadful to imagine whereas they wriggle into an unsuspecting campers sleeping bag and into the campers rectum and instantly freezing the poor innocent camper to death. A truely cold hearted snake!
Thanks
like....no
American Crocodiles sometimes, like, bask on fallen trees, but, like, as a rule, crocodilians don't, like, climb.
like no they can't like climb trees or like live in trees like their natural environment is like in the water
like...... no who told you that rosie o donald

Can all red eard slider turtles swim?
my red eard slider turtle stays at the bothom of the tank and im afride it might drown so i put a little bit of water but the water is over the turtle. her neck can come up to get air when shes on the bottom of the tank.
Answers:
yes all aquatic turtles can swim. they love to. dont be afraid to put a lot more water in your tank than that. the turtle will come up for air when it needs to. they can hold their breath for quite some time.maybe your turt is nervous around you so you dont always see her surface? that is possible...and as others have said do make sure you have a basking area for her to come out completely of the water with the proper lighting above it.
All turtles can swim. It's best when you put something in their tank so that they can climb out when they want but it is not necessary for them to breathe.
All turtles can swim. They do not drown.
But they are happy to get out of the water once in while.
Best to put a rock in the tank higher than the water level, so the turtle can perch on it once in a while.
DON'T WORRY! they are made to swim and can hold their breath for hours.
yes ALL turtles are born knowing how to swim
Course they all can! my RES wouldnt swim at first and would just sit on the bottom of the tank, but after a while once they are used to it they swim around, but if they dont start swimming means the water temp is either too high or low

Can a snake have fangs and not be venomous?
Wisconsin has 2 venomous snakes. Found snake with fangs, but not listed as venomous snake-brown, yellow belly, black markings on back, flares cheeks when scared like adder, two feet long, plays dead.
Answers:
No, not all snakes are venomous if they have fangs. Venomous fangs are a two-in-one deal, where just a snake with non-venomous fangs can just use it a weapon without poisoning. If the snake you found isn't listed as venomous, I'm sure it isn't. You probably should steer away from the fangs though just in case.
There are non venomous snakes and venomous snakes and they both bite
pretty much all snakes i am aware of have fangs or teeth of some sort. and yes there are some snakes without venom including a ball python
You have a hognose snake which is slightly venomous, they're rear fanged so it has to chew to inject the venom. And if it does bite you won't be hurt, your hand will just swell up for a couple days. might be worse if your allergic. that's why it's not listed as venomous, it cant really hurt you. As for your question...
Snakes can have fangs that are not hollow like a venomous ones. They are used to grab prey and for defense.

Can a snake climb up a glass?
Answers:
I was wondering the same thing yesterday because when I was younger I saw a snake climbing up the back door window without holding on to anything.
short distance yes
yes yes they can
yes but not like a bug or fly once it gets to high and doesn't have enough support on the ground it will come back down
Technically, no.
They can LEAN against the glass and climb out that way. But they're not like some bug or something that can stick to the side. Being muscular animals, they can climb very well.
My three and a half ft ball python can climb things up to three ft high! Just leans against the thing and climb climb climbs! ^.^ very cool
It is physically impossible if the glass is vertical, but they can lean on it and appear to be starting to climb but then slide sideways back down. They can't get a good grip. A fly or gecko has sticky pads on the bottom of their feet that allow them to climb, but snakes don't.
No the appear to be climbing up the glass, but they are leaning on it.
Krstl
Not really--they might lean into the corner of a glass tank while pushing themselves up, and mine sometimes crawl up the middle of one of the tank walls, but they usually fall over once they get so far up. They can't just slither up a vertical piece of glass to escape, if that's what you're asking, although they are very strong and if they're long enough, can easily push up while leaning on the glass and get out of an enclosure without a secure lid.
Not actually climb up the glass, but they will anchor themselves with their tails and extend their upper body up the glass, and if they go too far, they get top heavy and fall. My ball python does this all the time in his tank trying to find a way out...lol.
Can a red eared slider turtle crossbreed with a map or cooter turtle?
Answers:
I guess, but unlikely. They usually mate with their own kind.
I have never heard of this being possible. From what I've read before, they have to be the same species of turtle to produce any babies. I've owned several kinds of water turtles in the past 11 years, and I've never had this happen. I even have a Florida Red Belly turtle who has always been in love with my large Yellow Belly. Always flirts with her and follows her around...:) But I've never seen them actually mate or have her produce any fertile eggs.
no and try not to
Nope
I dont think so unless they are REALLY into each other , RES only breed with their own kind , but heck you can try!
good luck
Can a red eared slider eat guppies?
i have these guppies that i HAVE to get rid of and my friend has these red eared sliders and he says we should try feeding the guppies to the turtle, but can they even eat those?
Answers:
If the guppies are smaller than the turtle's head, he will probably eat them. I feed my turtle small guppies all the time. It can be kind of fun to watch them "hunt."
Give it a try. The worst that can happen is that the turtle won't eat them, and they'll be a nice decoration in the tank.
heck no!
My friend's turtle can eat them, but chooses not to, and now there's a million of them. I'm not sure what kind he is though, but he lives mainly in the water.
just look red eared slider diet on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/red-eared_s...
yes almost all types of fish
they can but i don't know if they will depends on the size of the turtle and guppie
