Snake removal in Horn Lake Mississippi

06/01/2023

This repeat offender from last year went back in to the same garage today 🤣 lucky for him these nice people are more interested in saving it and safely removing it than killing it. I love a happy ending for these misunderstood creatures 🙂 Nerodia erythrogaster-Plain bellied watersnake

I’ll have an extra spicy mocha moccasin please😂😂😂
A young cottonmouth I got a call about this evening it was going to be killed when the husband got home. So glad I got there just in time. Unfortunately I didn’t have anything with me to put it in so the cup had to do.

Did you know that of the 55 different kinds of snakes in Mississippi, only six are venomous? Most people are uncomfortable around snakes and may be uncertain of their ability to identify them. Here are some ways to identify venomous vs. nonvenomous snakes:

🐍 Facial Pits - Some venomous snakes will have facial pits. Snakes with these organs are collectively called pit vipers.
🐍 Cat-Eyes - Rattlesnakes, cottonmouths, and copperheads all have slit-like pupils (cat-eyes). Native nonvenomous snakes have pupils which are round.
🐍 Single Scale Rows - If the scales crossing the underside of the tail are made up of single rows, the snake is venomous. Native Mississippi nonvenomous snakes have a double row under the tail.
🐍 Rattle on Tail - three of our six venomous snakes are rattlesnakes

Was called about a green snake in a garage today. Got there and turned out to be a yellow-bellied watersnake. He was taken out of the garage and moved to the lake behind the house where it likely came from. I talked with the homeowners for awhile and they even touched the snake to see what it felt like. It was a good day for that snake.

I just want to remind everyone that the plastic bird netting is very bad for wildlife. Animals get tangled up in the netting and if not rescued quickly they will likely die a painful death with suffering. Please find other alternatives. The photos are of a beautiful black racer that got tangled in one and rescue came a couple of hours too late. Please don’t use this netting. You can prevent this from happening if you do not use it.

My uncle in Olive Branch was able to contain this little buddy under a storage tub in the back yard Monday afternoon until I could zip his way to collect the copperhead.

Not something I'd recommend to everyone, but definitely works as a temporary containment method if done safely. Safely moved to a wooded location. Wesley L. Flint
