Calmly step back and walk away ❤️ it absolutely will NOT chase you. If it heads in your direction it's trying to get away and you're in it's path so safely change direction. They're just as afraid of you as you are of them. Leave them be and please share 🥰

🐍 Are nonvenomous snake bites any worse than a bite from that pet rabbit? 🐍

Does the rabbit in that picture have huge teeth or what? If you ask some people, they'll tell you that all snakes have large fangs. In fact, nonvenomous snakes do not have fangs. Nonvenomous snakes native to the US have very small teeth, similar to fish, and are primarily used to hold on to prey. On the other hand, pet rabbits and rodents have bigger teeth that constantly grow. They have a greater bite force than snakes and their teeth are designed to tear. In general, mammalian teeth and claws have more potential to cause harm and pass along bacteria. Nonvenomous snake bites are comparable to briar scratches and probably not as severe. Snakes would rather avoid us and only bite as a last resort. If we are mindful of the wildlife around us and give them space, we can stay safe.

It's the time of year again when ratsnakes get into all manner of mischief.

Tragically, untold numbers of these highly beneficial snakes are killed each year because many people find that destroying nature is easier than educating themselves.

Snakes don't recognize human property rights. To them, your yard is simply the place their ancestors have been living for millennia, and your house is just part of the landscape.

They are not trying to scare you or hurt you. They are just going about their snakey business of offering free pest control services.

The wise naturalist is overjoyed to see a ratsnake in their yard and knows that all snakes are signs of a healthy ecosystem.

We encourage everyone to take some time and learn to recognize the animals in their ecosystem. Get help at LIVE Snake Identification and Discussion and also at Ratsnakes in Predicaments. Join us for some great learning!

If you want to really learn about these fascinating animals, we have an online course for you! Visit herpcollective.org for more info!

**IMPORTANT** This could be devastating to pet owners with any animal other than a cat or dog. This will affect more than just the reptile hobby.
