True or False?? The only good snake is a
dead snake.
dead snake.
FALSE!! Snakes are a valuable resource in our
Eco-System. 95% of the snakes you see are harmless, and
even the venomous snakes will only bite or strike when
provoked. Ask yourself this would you rather see one or
two snakes or LOTS of mice and rats?

Leave it where you found it. Take some
pictures of it but you should never remove a
wild reptile/amphibian from its habitat. You
will never be able to duplicate its natural
habitat

care of anymore. Should i just turn it loose?
NEVER! Turn loose any pet reptiles/amphibians. Call
ARRS or send us an email and we can help you find a home
for them.
Captive reptiles/amphibians should never be introduced
into the wild for many reasons:
They may have a disease that could wipe out many native
species.
They may prey on native species and decimate populations
of native species or deplete food sources.
They most likely would not survive a winter in most
states.
