I was wondering if snakes leave some kind of trail behind,(i think theres one in my house)?

Answer 1

Snakes don't leave 'trails' like slugs. People often think they are slimy, but snakes are actually dry creatures. However, they do leave behind some signs you have snake.

First, do your research, Do you live in an area with poisinous or dangerous snakes? Northern VA has only one kind of snake, which is generally small and not venemous. Hawaii doesn't have any snakes, so that can't be it. If you are very sure it is'nt a dangerous snake, you can do a few things to be sure:

~Check for snake droppings in the areas you think it might be.
~Snakes shed their skin, so check for that.
~Also, if you have any soft mud a snake -might- leave tracks.
~Putting out a hose and leaving it for a while on some dirt will make a good area for possible snake 'tracks'

~If you think the snake might be venemous, call a professional exterminator or snake remover.

If you find a small, nonvenemous snake has been somewhere around/in your house, you can safely remove it. Scoop it up with a forked stick (don't stab it and don't hold it in your hands) and let it slither into a tree outdoors. When you are done wash your hands because you may have gotten salmonila on them from the snake.
