Signs of Snake Infestation

Snakes can be elusive creatures, so knowing if you have an infestation on your property can be difficult. However, there are some signs to look out for that may indicate a snake infestation:

Shed skins: Snakes shed their skins regularly, so if you find snake skins around your property, it could be a sign that a snake or multiple snakes are living nearby.
Snake droppings: Snake droppings are usually dark, moist, and have a strong odour. If you find snake droppings in your home or around your property, it could be a sign that snakes are present.
Snake tracks: Snakes often leave distinctive tracks in dusty or sandy areas. The trails are usually in a straight line and may have a pattern that resembles an S-shape.
Unusual behaviour of pets: If your pets behave strangely or show signs of fear or agitation, it could be a sign of snakes nearby.
Sighting of snakes: Obviously, if you see a snake on your property, it clearly indicates a snake infestation.

What to do when you encounter snakes in public area

Encountering snakes in public areas in Singapore can be a rare occurrence, but it’s important to know what to do if you come across one. Here are some steps to follow:

Stay calm: It’s essential to remain calm and avoid sudden movements or loud noises that could startle the snake.
Keep a safe distance: Stay at least 2 meters away from the snake to avoid provoking it or getting too close.
Alert others: If you encounter a snake in a public area, alert others around you to the presence of the snake and ask them to keep a safe distance as well.
Refrain from attempting to handle or capture the snake: It’s vital never to try to control or capture it yourself, even if you know how. Snakes can be dangerous and should only be handled by trained professionals.
Call the authorities: Contact the National Parks Board or the Animal & Veterinary Service immediately to report the sighting of the snake. Provide as much information as possible, such as the snake’s location, size, and colour.

Remember that snakes play a crucial role in our ecosystem and are generally not aggressive towards humans unless provoked. By following these steps and staying alert, you can ensure your safety and the safety of others in the event of a snake sighting in a public area in Singapore.

Keep your distance: If you see a snake in your home, it’s vital to keep a safe distance of at least 2 meters away to avoid startling or provoking it.

Keep an eye on the snake: Try to keep an eye on the snake’s location and movements. This will help you provide accurate information to the professionals when they arrive.

Identifying Snakes

The common snake species in Singapore are:

Common Blind Snake (Ramphotyphlops braminus)
Common Wolf Snake (Lycodon milicus)
Black Spitting Cobra (Naja naja sputatrix)
Reticulated Python (Python reticulatus)
Tree Snake (Chrysopelea spp.)
Painted Bronze Back Snake (Dendrelaphis pictus)

Their length ranges from 10 cm to 1.5 m and they come in a variety of colours. The Reticulated Pyton can measure upto 5 m in length. What is most important is to distinguish between venomous and non-venomous snakes. The most venomous snake is the Black Spitting Cobra which rises with a hissing sound and spreads a hood behind their head. Snakes are feared because of their bites.
