67
SNAKES Swallow prey whole Jaw flexible-5 points of movement Some are constrictors (boas, pythons, king snakes)-wrap body around prey/suffocate Some are poisonous (cobras, vipers, copperheads)-venom injected through hollow fangs Most lay eggs (oviparous) others give live birth (ovoviviparous-ex. Garter Snake)
