Can snakes regenerate

Answer 1

If a snake gets any section of it's body cut off it will die. The exception to this is if the tail gets cut off, but this has to be behind the cloaca, and with males, even further back; as their hemipenes are stored in the tail, just behind the cloaca. If a snake loses it's tail it will heal, but with only a nub for the rest of it's life. Snake tails do not grow back. So, no, it will not grow its head back.

Hope this helps :]

Answer 2

Yes they can. If a snake is injured - over successive sheds, it will repair the injury. This will leave a small scar which eventually fades.

I remember one of the first snakes I owned (over 25 years ago) was being fed on live food when it was a baby (before I got it !). Anyway - one of the mice had bitten the snake - leaving it with a considerable wound about an inch along the body from the neck. The wound itself healed over within a few days, leaving a mark at the bite site. Over a period of about eight years, this wound eventually lightened and reverted to the snake's natural colouration. Today there is no sign of any wound at all - yes I still have the snake !

Answer 3

No, snakes cannot regenerate body parts. Once a snake loses a body part, like its tail, it will not grow back.

Answer 4

In a sense yes, when they shed they'll have whole new set of scales. So if there's a few lost scales now, sooner or later your snake will have a new set.

Answer 5

No, if you cut the head off of a snake, it will die.

Answer 6

No, if a scale is removed it does not grow back. The skin covering the scales will grow back but scales will not.
