SNAKES!!!

Is it Dangerous?!

That’s most people’s first reaction when they see a snake. When you live in an urban environment, the chance of seeing snakes (venomous or not) most likely occurs during extended periods of dry weather and after heavy rains. However, when you live in a rural environment, your chances of encountering snakes of all kinds is common. So, either way, it’s beneficial if you can recognize a snake’s potential for a lousy interaction.

Over the coming weeks, these posts will cover only the snakes I’ve personally come in contact with. That way I can give you an idea of their attitude when approached and handled and what steps I took to either relocate or dispatch that snake. I’ll add pictures (and an occasional video) with each post. Most will be ones I’ve taken, and let me apologize ahead of time for the lack of quality and the occasional death picture. Sometimes, to be safe, I’ve taken the picture after dealing with a venomous snake. If I didn’t have a chance to catch the snake on camera, then I will use pics from the web and link to the original site. I welcome everyone to comment with their own knowledge and make suggestions. If there are better ways to deal with the venomous snakes I am open for suggestions! In the future I hope to post on various insects. If you have a creepy-crawly you’d like me to tackle (figuratively of course) let me know.
