I'm in the process of creating an app that will feature information about snakes, including their images, whether they are venomous or non-venomous, their venom names, and typical habitats. I'm looking for recommendations on the best API to use for this project. Any suggestions?

Why not build your own API? It might sound ambitious, but with all the tools available today, you could create something really unique. Just remember, it's a lot of work!
You might want to try using an API like the one from iNaturalist. It has a comprehensive database about species, including snakes. You can query it for all sorts of information. Here’s a quick link: https://api.inaturalist.org/v1/taxa?q=snake&rank=species.
I get what you're saying about building it myself, but even top developers often leave these types of ambitious projects alone. Just remember to set realistic goals!
