About Cyranno
Was given to Liberty Wildlife from a facility who had to close their education department during COVID, currently in training.
Description
This snake can grow to 1,520 mm but in Arizona most individuals are less than 890 mm or 35” in total length. The head is narrow, the lower jaw in countersunk, and, in profile, the snout is pointed. The scales are smooth and shiny, most of the subcaudal scales are undivided, the pupils are round, and the irises are red or orange.
Habitat
In Arizona it is found primarily in sparsely vegetated desert scrub communities and Semidesert Grassland, but it extends up into the lower reaches of the woodlands in some areas. It inhabits low desert ranges, foothills, valleys, and flatlands with sandy, gravelly, or moderately rocky soils. It is usually absent from steep mountainous terrain.
Range
This common and widespread snake is found across the flatlands and valleys of southern and western Arizona at elevations ranging from near sea level along the Colorado River to about 6,000′. It is also found on the plateaus of the Arizona Strip (land north of the Colorado River).
Life Span
Can live for 12-20 years old.
Prey / Food
The long-nosed snake is a constrictor that preys on lizards, small mammals, snakes, lizard eggs, and occasionally will eat grasshoppers.
Babies / Nests
Mating probably takes place primarily in April and May. Studies suggest that not all females breed each year. Egg laying takes place mainly in June and July. Clutch size ranges from 3 to 11 eggs. Incubation periods range from 42 to 90 days and most eggs hatch in August or September.
