Black Rat Snake Rescued @ Highway Glory Khamgaon | Wildlife Warriors | Shailesh Tastode | Dubbu Thakur
Rat snakes, though harmless to humans, are fast-moving, excitable snakes. In captivity, they are territorial and may defend their turf aggressively, attempting to startle or strike at passing objects.
Rat snakes are diurnal and semi-arboreal. They inhabit forest floors, wetlands, rice paddies, farmland, and suburban areas where they prey upon small reptiles, amphibians, birds, and mammals.
Never try to catch or kill a snake yourself. This is when most bites happen.

If you see a snake
Leave it alone. Snakes are generally shy and will not attack unless provoked, so it’s best to leave them be.
If you see a snake inside your home, get all people and pets out of the room immediately. Shut the door and fill the gap underneath with a towel, then call a professional snake catcher for assistance.
If you see a snake outside, watch where it goes. If it’s heading for the bush or an open paddock you probably won’t see it again. If it disappears into a shed or under a vehicle, then you may need to call a snake catcher.
