                                              ~Fire Serpent Origin~


The origin of this rare species is somewhat unknown, but recent studies have found much of its origin.Long ago, around the midevil times, a female Fire Serpent named Arigo, ruled the land of Mbio Miwitu.Arigo was the goddess of all Fire Serpent's, and kept everything in balance.A male Fire Serpent showed up named Zephyr.Arigo and Zephyr became fast mates.Arigo layed about 10, black and white spotted eggs which carried the next generation of Fire Serpent's.Until a male Fire Serpent, called Dromeo, felt jealous of the two.He got in a fight with Arigo, and was defeated.Dromeo is the god of all unpleasent and evil Fire Serpent's, and is said to live in the Unfaithful Volcano.Arigo and Zephyr died later on of old age, and left their adult offspring to carry the species of Fire Serpent, to a complete and successful species.Some say that Arigo and Zephyr's spirits roam the island of Mbio Mwitu Island, the island where all known Fire Serpent's remain...

                                                         ~Fire Serpent Physiology~

Fire Serpents are mammalian like reptiles, closely related to dragons.Males have feline like bodies with very long tails, which could have been used in fights or courtship.Females have canine like bodies with cat-like tails, probably used for curling around the males tail during intercourse or for climbing.Fire Serpents have extremly sensitive ears, which probably helped them during hunting and at night.This species has incredible eye sight, very similiar to an eagle's.This species is covered in feathers and downy fur, to monitor their heat during the winter and summer.This reptile is warm blooded, being related to mammals.Fire Serpents are able to breathe fire and control it at their own will.Newly hatched Fire Serpents are blind and deaf,like mammals are when they are born.Females are able to produce milk for their young to feed off of until they reach 4 months of age.Fire Serpents are misunderstood creatures.It is capable of interbreeding with other mammals and reptilians, but for now, this species is NOT ALLOWED to interbreed.


                                               
                                ~Fire Serpent Behavior~

Fire Serpent Males are said to have aggressive and protective behaviour when it comes to breeding and territory.
Fire Serpent Females are said to have silent and gentle personalities.But when it comes to protecting their offspring, it starts to get violent.

                                         ~Fire Serpent Diet~

Fire Serpents are the standard Omnivore, but they mostly rely on meat, but they will turn to fruits and seaweed when prey gets scarce.

                 ~Fire Serpent Reproduction(Content may be graphic.The reader has been warned)~

When a female is ready to breed at age 10, the female would urinate around the boundaries of her territory to attract suitable males.The female would also change her nose and ear inside color from a white to ice blue color, showing that she is ready to be mated.If a male has caught the scent of a female in heat, he would let out long bellows and hisses to bring the female to where he is.The male would also follow the female's scent if the female hadn't responded to his calls.The male's ear insides and nose would change from yellow to red, to help attract the female, and to show any female's near that he is ready to breed.Once the male has found the female, he would show his neck and change it to a red/violet color to attract her.The female would respond by crouching, her rear in the air and neck exposed, pretty much a submissive form.The female's neck would also change color to an ice blue, showing receptiveness.The male would then start purring and licking the female instead of the female hasn't crouched yet.Once the courtship display has ended, the female would stay in the crouched position, and move her tail off to the side.The male would then walk over and begin mounting her, his tail slightly curled around hers.In order to successfully stayed clutched around the female, the male must retract his claws and dig into her skin, but not harming her.After the mating has been completed, around 20 minutes later, the male would remain with the female for about a few hours, until she chases him off.Fire Serpents mate with different males/females every breeding season.

                                                           ~Hatchlings~

Once a female has been mated, the female would immeadiatly search for a suitable place to care for her eggs.If no den is near, she would be forced to dig one out.Nesting places are usually at a beach, or deep in the forest.After that, the female would wait atleast 4-5 days to lay her eggs.A typical female lays around 6-10 black and white spotted eggs, but first time female's that have bred usually lay around 3-4 eggs.After the newborns have hatched, they would nurse from their mother.Fire Serpents are able to nurse their newborns milk.Young Fire Serpents grow at a harmfully slow rate from 0-4 months.This is also a bad size for them, because they would become easy prey.After 5 months, they become weaned.They'll eat the things their parents eat.After 3 years, the young Fire Serpent would leave its family to start its own.Sexual Maturity age is 8-10 years(depending on gender), but some are able to mate at 7 years.Male Fire Serpents are able to mate at 8 years, females at 10 years.The lowest age a male can breed is at 5 years.The lowest for a female to breed is it 6-7 years.

                                             ~Life Expectancy~

Fire Serpents stop breeding at the age of 130 years, and die at around 290+ years.
                                                   ~Sociality~

Fire Serpents are solitary unless breeding season arrives.Some Fire Serpents live in small gangs, around 3-5 members atleast.
