Covington - Mandeville - New Orleans - Slidell - Bat Removal and Wildlife Control Services!
Often times, a snake will be considered a nuisance to someone just by being seen in the yard. Other times a snake may wander into a shed, garage, basement, or even the living area of your home! Although snakes do not cause physical damage (unless bitten of course), it is never a pleasant encounter. A snake should always be identified immediately in order to determine the level of danger and avoid a bad situation, or at very least, give a little peace of mind.
You may not be able to identify a snake just by looking at it, so a few things are important to know if you come across one. In Louisiana, there are 7 kinds of venomous snakes, although a few are questionable to be found in the state and there are only a handful of documented records of their presence. The most accurate way to determine a venomous snake from non-venomous is by the shape of the pupil, IF you are close enough to see it. Venomous snakes have an elliptical shaped pupil, like a cats eye, as opposed to non-venomous snakes which have a round pupil. The only exception to this rule is the coral snake, which can easily be identified by its red, black, and yellow stripes.
