Snake Safety

Snake Summertime is here and that means native Texas snakes are coming out of hibernation. Animal Services wants to take this opportunity to remind people to be cautious when walking in high grass or near any creek beds. Although, the majority of snakes found in the Flower Mound area are non-poisonous, there are poisonous snakes in the area. The most commonly found poisonous snakes in Flower Mound are Copperheads, Cottonmouths, and Rattle Snakes. These snakes are harmless if left alone, but if accidentally walked upon or threatened they may strike. Please use caution when you are near any snake habitat, such as a creek, and teach your children not to touch anything that resembles a snake. For more information about snakes, please contact Animal Services at 972.874.6390.
