Snake Identification
Tennessee harbors a diverse array of 34 snake species, with only 7 being frequently encountered. Fortunately, the majority of these snakes are non-venomous. However, within the state's serpent population, there exist 4 venomous species, which include The Copperhead, Timber Rattlesnake, Western Cottonmouth, and Pygmy Rattlesnake. A peculiar characteristic of snakes is their lack of eyelids, which prevents them from fully closing their eyes. To shield and safeguard their eyes, snakes possess transparent scales. Additionally, these creatures lack external ears.
Problems and Damage
Snakes typically avoid human interaction and are not commonly linked to causing damage to homes or structures. However, their presence can attract other predatory animals such as foxes or raccoons to the area. Certain snake species can display increased aggression while shedding, emphasizing the importance of contacting professionals for precise identification and safe snake removal. Although the predominant snake species in Tennessee are nonvenomous, it's crucial to promptly seek medical attention for any snake bites.
