SNAKE BITES
Snake bites can inject venom, causing symptoms ranging from pain and swelling to nausea and difficulty breathing. Immediate medical attention is crucial. Avoiding unnecessary contact with snakes and wearing appropriate protective gear can help prevent bites.
SNAKES
Indian snakes represent a diverse array of species, with over 270 documented varieties. Among them, the Indian cobra (Naja naja) and the spectacled cobra (Naja naja) are notorious for their potent venom and hooded appearance. The Indian rock python (Python molurus) is one of the largest snakes in the world, found across various habitats. The Russell’s viper (Daboia russelii) is highly venomous and responsible for numerous snakebite incidents. The common krait (Bungarus caeruleus) is known for its nocturnal habits and potent neurotoxic venom. The Indian rat snake (Ptyas mucosa) is nonvenomous and plays a vital role in controlling rodent populations. Conservation efforts are underway to protect these snakes and their habitats due to threats like habitat loss and human persecution. Understanding and respecting Indian snakes are crucial for both human safety and preserving biodiversity.

HOW TO PREVENT & MANAGE SNAKE ISSUES
Preventing and managing snake issues involves a combination of habitat management, safety precautions, and professional help when necessary. Snakes are usually non-aggressive and play an important role in controlling pests like rodents. However, keeping them away from your property is essential for safety. Here’s how you can prevent and manage snake issues:
PREVENTING SNAKE INFESTATIONS
Clear Clutter: Remove piles of wood, debris, rocks, and tall grass, as these provide shelter for snakes.
Trim Vegetation: Keep your lawn mowed and bushes trimmed. Snakes often use overgrown areas for cover.
Seal Gaps: Snakes can enter buildings through small gaps. Inspect your home’s foundation, doors, windows, and walls for openings and seal them with caulk or mesh.
Store Firewood Away from the House: Firewood piles are ideal habitats for snakes and their prey. Keep them off the ground and far from your home.
USE NATURAL REPELLENTS
Plant Snake-Repelling Plants: Certain plants like marigolds, lemongrass, and wormwood are said to deter snakes.
Natural Repellents: Some people use natural products like garlic, onion sprays, or essential oils (like clove or cinnamon oil) around the perimeter of their property to discourage snakes.
