SNAKE SIGHTINGS Most people will panic if they see a snake, large of small, in their house or backyard. A clear understanding of a snake’s character is important. The following questions and answers (of people who have killed snakes) offer some insight to a snakes’ behaviour. Q: How close was I to the snake when I first saw it? Was I close enough to kill it? A: I was only a couple of feet away or I walked past it, it was quite close. Q: Did the snake strike at me when I was that close? A: The snake was just lying there, doing nothing. Q: Did the snake try and get away after the first blow? A: After I hit it with the shovel it tried to get away. Q: Had the snake tried to bite anyone or do anything threatening? A: It wasn’t doing anything, just sunbathing or maybe moving along. It only became aggressive when I tried to kill it. These responses reinforce the motto: “If we leave a snake alone and just observe it, most times it will go away” |
