Snake Removal
Fort Lauderdale, Florida is home to a lot of different kinds of snakes… but you should be happy to know that most of the snakes that we have encountered over the years we’ve lived in South Florida, have been non-venomous which means that even if they bite you, they don’t excrete any venom. That being said, we tell everyone with a snake problem to give us a call and we can either help to identify them or capture them and release them in another location. We will let you know if the snake in question is venomous or not.
Down here (in South Florida), we have a few dangerous snakes that are native and others that are not. The native snakes include the diamondback rattlesnake, the cottonmouth, the pygmy rattlesnake, and the coral snake. They’re not very common either – they make up only 1% of the calls that we receive.
We also have a new visitor to South Florida that can definitely be considered scary, the Burmese and reticulated pythons. They can grow to over 20 feet long and they can and will eat just about anything including alligators and deer! If you see one, stay away and call We Care Animal Removal right away, they are very aggressive and highly invasive. These snakes are dangerous while most of the other snakes are not.
There are many other snakes that can be found all over South Florida that are not considered dangerous. If you come across any kind of snake in your house or on vacation, don’t be scared, just give us a call and we will come and remove it.
Remember, the snake was here first. Most snakes eat rats and other pesky pests that want to make your life a living hell – not you! And even though they may look scary (and some can really behave badly), most native wildlife will get along just fine with these guys in their midst; so don’t worry yourself too much over whose territory it is or what might happen if we remove “it” from around these parts…all right then: time to release this critter back into nature where it’s always happiest.
All exotic snakes, especially the pythons, which are the most invasive new species, will be donated if possible to a licensed group that handles exotic snakes, or we will have them euthanized.
