BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR SNAKES IN THE WARMER WEATHER

​Snakes are more active in the warmer weather if you come across one do nothing, walk around it, do not try to poke it, or agitate it. They don't want to harass you, let them go about their business. If you get bitten by a non-venomous snake, what you need to do is to wash the spot with soap. Usually, snakes let go as soon as they bite, occasionally the snake doesn't let go, gently pull its head from your skin. This happens to people who try to pick up a snake with their hands.
If you get bitten by a venomous snake, go to the hospital as soon as possible. Do not handle venomous snakes unless you are trained or certified.
The venomous snakes rattlesnakes and copperheads have triangular-shaped heads, coral snakes have round pupils colored bands in a pattern of black, yellow, and red.
