Please Don't Kill Snakes!

Snakes are unfortunate victims of irrational fears. You've probably found this site because you want to get rid of snakes on your property, or maybe in your house. If that's your wish, I understand, especially if the snake has made its way inside your house. Some people are simply uncomfortable with snakes, or downright scared, and can't help it. But please be aware that most snake species are harmless. In fact, most are good for the environment! They eat rats and mice, they're clean, and they're a sign of a healthy ecosystem. If you don't want them around, I highly advise that you DO NOT ATTEMPT TO KILL SNAKES. Most snakebites occur when people try to handle or kill snakes. If you just leave the snake alone, you'll be better off. If you must remove it, I recommend that you call a professional who does not kill, or use our safe snake trap. Our trap completely ensnares snakes, and you can then take the trap to a relocation point far away, spray some cooking oil (such as PAM) on the snake, and it will work itself free in a minute or two. It will slither off, and you can retrieve the trap, rinse it off, and use it again. Just please think twice before attempting to kill any unwanted snakes.

How to identify a snake: You can visit this site for a very good snake identification tool. Or see my Florida snake photos page for 80 of my best photographs. Or, most online searches describing the appearance and markings of the snake will yield good results. For example, you could type, "black snake white belly" or "yellow snake with stripes". Or better yet, just take a digital photo of the snake, and email it to buysnaketrap@gmail.com and we will tell you exactly which snake you've caught!
Overall, venomous snakes tend to be a bit thicker, or have very broad heads, or have rattles on their tails. But there are of course exceptions. The rule of "triangular head" does not apply, as many harmless snakes have triangular heads. The best way to know is by knowledge or research. And of course, if in doubt, leave the snake alone! Most snake bites occur when people try to grab or kill snakes! Below are some photos of common non-venomous snakes, including, on the left, the common Garter Snake.
