What to do When You See a Snake

Although I want to say up front that I can't guarantee that you won't get bit by a snake, I sure have looked up what to do if I come across one! I am scared of snakes! Let me share what I have found.

The majority of snakes are harmless to humans. But why take your chances? If you are unsure, it is best to treat all snakes as though they will harm you.

The best advice that I could find...and I found it from many sources....is to back away slowly or to be still. Most snakes will not attack unless they feel threatened. If you back away slowly and quietly or be very still, you have the best chance of being fine.

If you need a snake removed, call a local snake expert. If you can't find one, call animal control and they should be able to find someone to help you. Do not attack or pick it up.

I can not guarantee you will not be bitten, but I am just sayin....
