Large Snakes in Swimming Pool

RE: Large Snakes in Swimming Pool Post by Stngray (57) | (05/30/2008) Contact You didn't say where you live. That might make a difference in the type of snake. Contact animal control next time you see a live snake and they will come and get it. In most states, that is what they do. They can also help you to know what type snake it is. Meanwhile, look up snakes in your area on the internet. It's quite simple.

We put in all around our house. When snakes slide across it, it will burn their belly's and turn the other way. You have to replace it, after it rains. Good Luck !!

If the scales on the underside of the tail go all the way across in a single row , it is a poisonous snake. If they are divided down the center, it is a nonpoisonous snake. Also most poisonous snakes in the U.S. are pit vipers and have a triangular shaped head. One exception is the coral snake found in the deep south. Look up Poisonous snakes on the internet, and you will find pictures that may help you to identify the ones you are finding in your pool.
