Delray Beach snake tip of the month: What if a snake got inside my house, bedroom, kitchen, etc. - If a snake somehow got inside of your home, your best option is to leave it alone, especially if you don't know what type of snake you're dealing with. The vast majority of snake bites in the United States happen because people try to handle, poke, or otherwise harass a snake. There are better ways to deal with your situation than trying to push the animal out with a broom. In the best case scenario, close the snake off in one room of the home. If it isn't a venomous snake, you may be able to corral the snake with the use of a box and a heated water bottle. Snakes are drawn to heat, and some people have found success by leaving a box in the room with a hot water bottle in it for the snake to slither into. The box and the snake can then be scooped up in the morning and placed outside. Using a clear plastic tote with a hole to allow the snake in may be best, that way you know for sure the snake is inside without having to lift up the lid. If you want nothing to do with the snake, or are worried the snake is venomous, call a professional to come and safely handle the animal.
