Copperbelly Water Snake Extinction
The copperbelly water snake is threatened and we need to help!We people have collected it for its rarity,design, and to sell it of for money.Also might I add us making roads have caused them to lose their home making only a few hundred exist.

Also with them traveling every fall,winter, and spring they are in danger of being gobbled up by big birds and racoons.But we can prevent their extinction by buying frogs and toads from pet stores(since you can do that)and release them where a copperbelly water snake lives to give them more food to help them survive.

Plus I'll give you some information about them,they grow up to 2-4 feet long and if they are in captivity they live up to 8-14 years.They mainly live in wetlands like swamps and remember

    It is not the snakes who decide to travel across the world to the Everglades, so you can blame the illegal pet dealers for that. They purchase these snakes and transport them across the world which takes them away from their natural habitat. They are used to killing their prey at any time, but the snakes do not know that they are killing some domestic animals. Source 3 demonstrates how people are the reason for the pythons damaging the environment. There is no way to stop the import of the pythons, but we can reduce it by enforcing more strict laws. Some of them would be more detailed baggage checks at airports or docks. This shows that the snakes are hurting the environment even though it is not their…

    Frogs and other amphibians are important for several reasons. One reason is that they are an integral part of the food chain, as they serve as both predator and prey (What Do Frogs). Without them, the ecosystems they live in would suffer. For example, frogs feed on pests, such as mice or insects, which infest human homes and consume crops. Without frogs and toads to feed on them, the populations of such pests would grow rapidly. Many of their prey even spread diseases, like mosquitos which spread malaria, so frogs play a direct role in keeping humans healthy. Tadpoles, juvenile frogs and toads, clean waterways by feeding on algae, which cuts down on costs that would otherwise be needed for water filtration (Why We Must). Additionally, frogs also serve as prey for a variety of organisms, from predatory birds, fish, and snakes, to larger insects, other frogs, humans, and more. If frogs die out, all of their predators would have to cope with a lack of food sources as well (What Do Frogs). Furthermore, because amphibians live in both water and land, they play key roles in transferring nutrients between the two. Without them, all organisms in their environments would suffer. Food webs such as this are simply too interconnected for the loss of one creature not to affect the rest, especially not creatures as vital as amphibians (Amphibian…

    Once it was discovered that a fungus was impacting the golden frogs, scientists began to learn of other amphibian populations across every continent declining at an equally rapid rate because of the same fungi. Kolbert describes amphibians as one of the planet’s great survivors with ancestors tracing back to a time before dinosaurs, which creates even more concern as many species quickly become threatened. While it was at first puzzling to know how this fungus was traveling to other continents, the…

Frogs are born in the water as tadpoles. Frogs move onto land for their adult lives. This makes them vulnerable to changes in aquatic habitat availability. This also makes them vulnerable to changes in terrestrial habitat availability. Their aquatic habitats are drying out, in areas that are becoming more prone to drought.…

    As a start let me give an introduction about snakes. A slithering, legless carnivore, the snake is a common creature on nearly every continent. Snakes have long, narrow bodies encompassing their head on one end and tail on the other end. Their skin is covered in overlapping scales that can feel vibrations in the ground. Snakes don’t have eyelids or ears like we do. They rely on vibrations to “hear.” Regarding the body of snakes, it has been proved that snakes have only one lung and 2 kidneys which are front and rear of each other unlike the way they are in human body…
