I’ve spent quite a bit of time putting together a list of common snakes that Americans will find in their backyards and on their property. the aim of this page is to help you identify a snake and evaluate the risk to you and your family. the images I’ve collected are correct to the best of my ability and you should be able to tell which type of snake you have encountered.
Whenever you come across a snake, my best advice would be to leave it alone and call pest control to remove it.

Vipers
Vipers are a type of snake found in the USA. They are characterized by their long, slender bodies and triangular heads. They are typically yellow or brown in color and have a v-shaped mark on their head. Vipers are known for their lethal venom, which they use to kill their prey.
However, they are not aggressive snakes, and they will only bite if they feel threatened. Also, vipers can bite without injecting venom, which is a precious resource to them, and these dry bites are common in human encounters.
If you see a viper, it is important to stay calm and avoid provoking the snake. If you are bitten by a viper, it is important to seek medical help immediately as venom may have been injected. There are antivenoms available that can save your life.
When you discover a viper variety of snake on your property, it’s advisable to contact your local pest control service. Feel free to find one by clicking below.

Coral Snakes
Coral snakes are a type of venomous snake found in the USA as well as across the globe. They are brightly colored with bands of red, yellow, and black, and their bite is potentially lethal to humans. This being said, coral snakes are shy and not extremely aggressive, so they are not often seen by people.
However, if you do see one, it is important to be cautious and not to approach it. Coral snakes will only bite if they feel threatened, so it is best to leave them alone. If you are bitten by a coral snake, it is important to seek medical attention immediately as their venom can be deadly.
I would always remind you that coral snakes are an important part of the ecosystem, so it is important to respect them and their space. If you need to remove one from your property, hire an expert to do it humanely.

Boas
Boa snakes are found in the USA, primarily in the southern states but also along the Western seaboard. They can grow to be quite large, some species outside the US up to 12 feet in length. These snakes are typically brown or green in color with patterns that help them blend in with their surroundings.
Boa snakes are nonvenomous but can still be dangerous if they feel threatened. If you encounter a boa snake, it is important to stay calm and avoid making any sudden movements. Slowly back away from the snake and give it a chance to escape. If you must move past the snake, do so slowly and carefully. Never attempt to handle a wild boa snake, as even these docile creatures can be aggressive when threatened.
If you have any concerns about a boa snake in your area, get in contact with one of our local pest control partners via the phone.

Colubrid Snakes
Colubrid snakes are the largest group of snakes in the world, making up over two-thirds of all snake species. They can be found on every continent except Antarctica, and Colubrids are particularly common in the United States.
Colubrids come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, but they all share a few key characteristics which are why they are associated with one group. Some of the Colubrids species are nonvenomous, although a few species are fanged and capable of delivering a venomous bite.
Colubrids are generally shy snakes that prefer to avoid contact with humans. However, if you do encounter a Colubrid snake, it is important to stay calm and leave it alone and give it plenty of space. If you must handle the snake, be sure to do so carefully and avoid provoking it.
As I dais, some of These snakes are not venomous (see the list below), but their bites can still be painful. With that said, Colubrid snakes are an important part of the ecosystem and play a vital role in controlling pest populations. If you see one in your yard then it’s just easier to call in an expert to deal with it.
