Episode Details

Haltom City Police recently rescued a large snake from a 93-year-old womans backyard in Texas, highlighting the increase in snake encounters during spring. The snakes are emerging from brumation and seeking food and mates, often venturing into yards and homes due to urban sprawl. Common venomous snakes in North Texas include copperheads, cottonmouths, and western diamondback rattlesnakes. Most snakes are harmless, but all should be treated with respect. If you encounter a snake, avoid cornering or grabbing it, and snap a picture from a safe distance for identification. Keep yards clean and wear shoes outside to minimize encounters. Call professionals if you spot signs of snakes, such as shed skin.
