April 10, 2013
Snakes are common animals in the North Escambia area, consuming pests that can be expensive for humans to manage while providing a service to home environments.
The Escambia Extension Service will hold a program at three locations to discuss the natural history of snakes, to reduce the chance of a snake encounter and how to properly handle a potential snake encounter.
The programs will be held at:
- Roy Hyatt Environmental Center, 1300 Tobias Road, Cantonment on Thursday, April 11, 6 p.m.
- Agriculture Building on Highway 4, Century, on Tuesday, April 30, 6 p.m.
- Molino Community Center, 6450 Highway 95A, Molino on hursday, May 2, 6 p.m.
For more information, contact Rick O’Conner at (850) 475-5230.

Florida Backyard Snakes is a perfect site to look up any snake you see. Very helpful identifying them . Has good color photos. Its easy to follow the questions leading to the identification of the snake.
True, but the benefit is outweighed if a careless child dies from their venom
@Jane
Even venomous snakes are beneficial to the environment.
If you live in an area that has venomous snakes you should be able to recognize them! The ones that are not venomous are beneficial to the environment…including some that eat the venomous snakes, rats and mice. Live and let live…remember we moved here after they were already here!
So since they don’t have any programs for the south end of the county…… Do we not need to worry about snakes?…. I guess the north end has all the snakes
Killing an animal out of fear is just wrong.. When I’m in their environment I make some noise to let them know I’m there.. that way neither one of us is surprised.
i know how to handle them pump them full of lead..the only good snake is a dead snake
I first thought the article would be about keeping them in the house and I don’t want to do that again even if they can’t swallow me. Other than that, live and let live.
