Understanding Snakes in Oklahoma
Many times a snake will only bite humans as an act of self defense. Snakes will normally shy away from humans unless startled or cornered. Snakes are normally attracted to man made structures while in pursuit of food and shelter. Rodent activity in a home can lure snakes inside looking for a meal. During the winter months, snakes may find a warm, humid area inside buildings, out of sight from predators to shed it’s skin. Rock gardens and borders, wood piles, and landscaping around ponds provide adequate shelter for a snake looking to feed on frogs, fish and other small animals. Precautions should be taken to keep chicken coops rodent proof to deter snake activity.
