Water snakes move by swimming or floating. The black mamba may be the fastest snake. The black mamba is actually a cobra without a hood. The hog-nosed snake pretends to be dead to fool predetors. When a baby snake hatches, it has to defend for itself. When a water snake is scared, it sprays a smelly liquid to escape predetors. The gaboon viper can camouflage itself.
