Fruit-eating snake (SciiFii)

The fruit-eating snake (Serpentifruetus singularis) is a species of snake that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, and open woodlands across the southeastern United States to help boost biodiversity. The fruit-eating snake is the only living member of its family, Serpentifruetidae, and the closest living relatives of the fruit-eating snakes are Old World pythons. The fruit-eating snake can grow to be about 1-2 meters (3.3-6.5 feet) in length on average. The fruit-eating snake is a frugivore, being a herbivore unlike any other snakes, which allows the snake to avoid competition from other species of snakes. Strictly nocturnal, the fruit-eating snake locates rip fruit thanks to its keen sense of smell. The fruit-eating snake lays around 25-45 eggs at a time in just 2 months after mating during early spring, and the young hatch about 1-2 months later. Juvenile fruit-eating snakes feed mainly on smaller fruits such as berries until they are big and old enough to tackle larger fruits such as plums. Several fruiting plants depend on fruit-eating snakes to disperse their seeds, with some being heavily specialized. The lifespan of the fruit-eating snake is around 10-18 years on average, however, it usually lives longer in captivity, with the average lifespan for captive fruit-eating snakes being about 25-30 years. The conservation status of the fruit-eating snake is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the fruit-eating snake's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
