If Ever You Come Face To Face With A Snake

A lot of people enjoy the wilderness. If you
enjoy hiking in wooded areas, then you can have
encountered a snake at some point in your life.
If you are an avid outdoors person, you may have
wondered how to handle it if you come face to
face with a snake.

Lots of people may react simply by screaming,
running, or some other display of feelings.
While this reaction will be understandable under
specific situations, it's not in your best
interest just as one outdoor enthusiast. Hostile
species of snakes could see a great outward
display as being a threat and respond to strike.

Snakes are highly unlikely to attack a human
without provocation. The serpents are cold
blooded and as such they hold their energy so
that it can be used when it is most needed. Much
like all cold blooded species, this energy is
most needed during hunting when attacking prey.

Because very few species of snake are capable of
consuming an individual, the snakes most commonly
stumbled upon are more likely to run away from
you than to hold their particular ground. While
it does not occur frequently, you may sooner or
later stumble upon a snake too closely in which
it will feel cornered as well as stand its
ground to guard a nest or when it's hunting
territory. In the event that this happens, the
best reaction is often a cool, calm as well as a
collective one. Quick movements will surely be
seen as a threat and may cause an aggressive
snake to strike.

Be still, assess the scenario, and watch the
snake's conduct closely. If the snake is merely
on guard, then chances are, it is possible to
lightly step back in a slow fluid motion without
triggering a strike. When the snake is a
poisonous type, it will naturally be a little
more hostile than a non-venomous kinds. Species
such as the garter and also grass snakes will
run away without hesitation and may show little
to no hostility unless touched as well as
handled. Many individuals possess irrational
fears of most snakes and do not realize that
they are reclusive in nature and not to attack
humans but merely to hunt as well as prey upon
tiny animals to survive.

One method to identify a venomous type of snake
is by looking at its eyes. Round eyes are most
often found on non-venomous species and slit
shaped eyes are found in poisonous species.
Although this is generally correct, there are a
few species of venomous snakes in which in fact
has round eyes as well. That is why, in some
areas of the world, both "round shape eye"
snakes and "slit shape eye" snake variety should
be treated as potentially venomous and harmful.

How to proceed if you come face to face with a
snake can be a difficult decision. Fear will
probably be your most dangerous opponent when it
comes to dangerous snake situations. Don't panic!
Remember to stay calm; make a fluid slow
movement; and if possible, determine the species
to evaluate the level of threat. If you use these
simple tips, you can come away from the close
encounter with a snake safely.
