With the warm weather quickly approaching and snakes sightings and activity starting to increase. It’s a good time for a reminder.
This time of year can be a very difficult time for snakes and our pets. Spring is the mating period for most snake species and this leads males on great journeys looking for girls. They can be very oblivious to their surrounds, with only one thing on their mind and just focusing on the scent trails they are on. This can take them out into the open and areas they’d normally avoid. Increasing their chances of crossing paths with people and our pets.
If you do happen to see one passing through your yard, the best approach is to move pets and people away, watch from a safe distance and either allow the snake to move on or call a professional to come remove it. Intentionally interacting with snakes (trying to catch or kill the snake) is one of the leading causes of snake bite.

I know these ideas may not be for everyone, but a few things that could help prevent dogs or other pets interacting with snakes.

- creating and using a snake proofed penned area when you are not around to supervise.
- snake proofing pet yard with mouse mesh.
- run lengths of pvc pipe along fence lines and secure them, for snakes to possibly escape to. I use these in my yard to help blue tongues escape my dogs. If a snake has access to hide in something it could prevent an interaction and a bite to your dog or pet.
- chat to dog trainers about snake avoidance training.

If anyone else has ideas that could help. Feel free to put them in the comments.

It’s also a very good idea to get yourself a snake bite first aid kit, have a plan in place (for people and pets) if a bite was to occur and also speak to your local vets for advice.

A great snake identification and educational group for those interested

This sweetie needs a new home !!! That smile !!! She is awesome but just not getting the attention she deserves. She has grown up with kiddies and is the worst guard dog ever and would lick you to death. If anyone local takes her on, we will give her free washes for life !!! PM the page and we can put you in touch with her pawrents 😍
