The recent severe weather may mean you see some more slithery friends hanging about in unusual places, trying to find shelter.
While snakes have garnered themselves a bit of a reputation, they are actually vital to our ecosystem and play an essential role in controlling rodent and pest populations, and therefore it is important to our environment that we protect and conserve them.
Knowing how to identify what snakes you may come across can help you stay safe and appreciate these fascinating reptiles from a respectful distance.
If you encounter a snake, stay calm and slowly back away, avoiding sudden movements, and observe the snake's direction. If the snake is in your home or property, call a licensed snake catcher for assistance.
Fast Fact: Some snakes can see heat!
