Alternative names:

Prevention:

• Even though most snakes are not poisonous, avoid picking up or playing with any snake unless you have been properly trained.
• When hiking in an area known to have snakes, wear long pants and boots if possible.
• Do not thrust hands or feet into any areas if you cannot see into the area.
• Tap ahead of you with walking stick before entering an area with an obscured view of your feet. Snakes will attempt to avoid you if given adequate warning.
