Hops need at least 6-8 hours of sun a day, so the South facing side of your home or an exposed site is a good location. Hop vines (called bines) can grow to over 25 feet and weigh over 20 pounds, so vertical space for a trellis is important as well.
Often observed flicking its tongue, snakes use their forked tongue to smell the air. Snakes are ectotherms, meaning they must regulate their body temperature externally by sunning themselves or retreating to cool, shaded areas. Snakes hibernate during the winter. Snakes must shed their skin three to six times per year.
Snakes are not the only animals that use a Jacobsonâs organ to smell. This structure can be found in amphibians (like salamanders), mammals (like horses and cats) and in other reptiles (like turtles). However, snakes and lizards are among the few groups that use their tongue to deliver scents to this organ. That is why people think snakes smell with their tongue!
