What to do if you have a snake in your home:
Remain calm and keep all children and pets away from the area. Do not try to catch or handle the snake yourself. Instead, keep an eye on its location if possible, contain it to a room by closing the door, and call a professional snake catcher or wildlife removal service for safe removal.
What to do immediately
Stay calm: Avoid panicking or making sudden movements.
Keep people and pets away: Immediately move children, pets, and other family members to a safe area.
Contain the snake: If possible, close the door to the room the snake is in. Place a towel at the bottom of the door to block any gaps.
Keep an eye on it: If you can do so from a safe distance, try to keep track of the snake's location so you can provide accurate information to the removal service.
Call a professional: Contact a licensed snake catcher or a wildlife removal service for assistance. Provide them with a description or a photo if possible.
What not to do
Do not approach or touch the snake: Never attempt to handle, catch, or kill the snake yourself. This is dangerous and can lead to a bite.
Do not assume it's harmless: Always assume the snake could be venomous and treat it with extreme caution.
Do not try to use traps: Avoid using glue traps or other methods to catch the snake yourself, as it can be dangerous and inhumane.
