Sankes are not immortal. They too have an age span, different snakes have different age span, but they do get old and may die a natural death..
Snakes can live for a long time, around 30 years, before they die of old age. This is if they don't die prematurely from infections, cancer, or other diseases. In the wild, snakes tend to die from being eaten by large predators or from other snakes competing for habitat or mates.
Immortality. The West African kingdom of Dahomey regarded snakes as immortal because they appeared to be reincarnated from themselves when they sloughed their skins. Snakes were often also associated with immortality because they were observed biting their tails to form a circle and when they coiled they formed spirals ...
Anaconda was born with superhuman strength, the ability to heal his own wounds (unless they are severe) and the power of flight. He was later given an invisible, strong exoskeleton to protect him further. Age: Over one-hundred years old (but not immortal).
Apopis, also called Apep, Apepi, or Rerek, ancient Egyptian demon of chaos, who had the form of a serpent and, as the foe of the sun god, Re, represented all that was outside the ordered cosmos. Although many serpents symbolized divinity and royalty, Apopis threatened the underworld and symbolized evil.
Nehebkau is the “original snake” of Egyptian mythology, and was believed to be both an ancient and eternal god. Although he is occasionally represented as a son of Serket, Renenutet or Geb, he is sometimes believed to have simply "emerged from the earth".
Python, in Greek mythology, a huge serpent that was killed by the god Apollo at Delphi either because it would not let him found his oracle, being accustomed itself to giving oracles, or because it had persecuted Apollo's mother, Leto, during her pregnancy.
In perfect conditions, adult snakes live anywhere from 20 to 30 years, with natural predators and the encroachment of humans severely limiting the number of years most snakes live.
Threats. At the top of the food chain, adult anacondas have no natural predators. The biggest threat to their survival is human fear; many anacondas are killed by people worried that the enormous snake will attack. They are also hunted for their skin, which is turned into leather or used as decoration.
The snake is faster than you are. Don't try to outrun it.
The familiar mythology of the ancient Near East manifests the primeval struggle between the powers of good and evil, both of which are often represented by snakes. As a bringer of salvation and giver of everlasting life the snake became a divine reptile.
In Genesis 3, the snake entices Eve into eating from the forbidden fruit of the Garden of Eden, thereby earning for herself the charge that she introduced original sin into the human character and ensuring that all of her descendents would be subject to death and expulsion from the presence of G-d in the Garden.
A snake that won't eat for a long period of time could eventually starve to death, so it's important to make sure your snake isn't unwise unhealthy if you notice signs of starvation. Infant snakes however, can only go about a week without food before their bodies will shut down.
To date, there's only one species that has been called 'biologically immortal': the jellyfish Turritopsis dohrnii. These small, transparent animals hang out in oceans around the world and can turn back time by reverting to an earlier stage of their life cycle.
Because of their slow metabolisms, snakes remain conscious and able to feel pain and fear long after they are decapitated.
Regenerating flatworms
This apparently limitless regeneration also applies to aging and damaged tissue, allowing the worms to cheat death indefinitely, according to a study at the University of Nottingham.
Deadly Squeeze. If the anaconda can wrap around the lion, its deadly squeeze could be enough to win this battle. As members of the boa constrictor family, anacondas don't need to use venom to kill their prey. Instead, they overwhelm the prey's circulatory system.
Even in the cases of a large anaconda, a gorilla is so powerful that it would probably crush the anaconda's skull and end the threat before the anaconda could completely wrap around it. Gorillas are fast and ferocious in combat, so it's hard for a snake to take them by surprise and meaningfully attack them.
Moreover, the anaconda attacks head-first, meaning its most vulnerable part of the body is going to be right near the strongest pair of jaws and teeth in the world. A crocodile would probably bite straight into an anaconda's head and kill it instantly or just keep biting and tearing until the anaconda dies.
The remains of the oldest recorded snake, aged 167 million years ago, were found in Southern England. The 60-million-year-old Titanboa was the largest snake to ever exist, growing up to 50 feet long and weighing up to 2,500 pounds.
There are a number of marine species that outlive humans, and the mammal species that holds the record for longevity is the bowhead whale, which can live for 200 years - or more.
Consequently, snakes (and some other cold-blooded animals) go to sleep for a few weeks up to 4 months.
In Christian tradition, the "ancient serpent" is commonly identified with the Genesis serpent and as Satan.
God asks what Moses has in his hand, and Moses answers "a staff" ("a rod" in the KJV version). The staff is miraculously transformed into a snake and then back into a staff.
We all know our man St. Patrick, among many other things, as the man who banished snakes from the green fields of Ireland.
