DON'T TOUCH SNAKES
The safest way to keep protect yourself from a snake is to avoid touching or provoking them. Studies have shown that snakes usually only bite if provoked or harmed. In other words, if you leave them alone they'll leave you alone. Leave snake handling to the Snake Hunter.

DON'T KILL SNAKES
Killing snakes not only puts you at significant risk, it is also illegal. Snakes, though deadly, are shy by nature. Attempting to kill the snake forces it to act to defend itself. If you don't try to kill a snake, you don't risk it potentially killing you.
CLEAN UP
I'm frequently asked if cleaning up your property can help you prevent snakes. This is NOT true but in fact a myth. Cleaning up your property can help you SEE if a snake is on site. Having a messy, overgrown yard just makes it difficult to spot snakes. That said, it is better to clean up and see them then get a surprise.

SNAKE REPELLENTS
Snake repellents are a total myth and do not work. If there was a product that could keep highly venomous snakes off your property, I would sell it and be a multi millionaire and not put my life at risk every day. Unfortunately, such a product does not exist yet including electronic repellents that go into the ground. These products are false.
