How snakes help the environment

One day i was casually walking around the community with my friends & then we saw a snake. My friend were about to kill it when i told them to stop and that I could move it somewhere else. But that was when i realized that not everyone knows why we need snakes. that's what this blog is for.

Why we need snakes

• Snakes are a very important part of the food chain -----------------------------------------------------------

• Snakes are also a source of many medicines. The only proven and effective therapy for snakebite - the snake-antivenom, is also derived from snake venoms. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• Snakes serve very important role as predators, as preys, as ecosystem engineers, and provide economic and therapeutic benefits to humans -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
