It's a very light color morph of a Ring-Neck Snake, 14 sub-species, all with varying color spectrums. Characterized by the ring around it's neck, and usually a highly contrasting color on their belly scales. Mildly venomous, but no threat to humans, as that is about as big as they get. They eat worms and things.

OH!OH!OH! I know this.

When you pinch the ribbon and pull on it, if the force applied exceeds what's called the 'yield' force, it causes the outside of the ribbon to deform while the inside of the ribbon stays the same. This induces the curl.

There's actually a study on this. This was the topic of a SciShow video on youtube.

Each hen will lay approx 1-2 eggs daily starting at 6mo of age regardless if there's a rooster or not. If you have a rooster, then most of those eggs will hatch, otherwise they go to the market.

There are at any given point, about 25 billion chickens in the world.

The state of Iowa has 60 million chickens.

Each chicken only needs to have one chick to replace itself. Over it's lifetime, a chicken can produce 1000s more chickens if you remove the eggs and put them into incubators fast enough.
