IkoIko Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 Hi, I have my pool equipment in a “pit” (about 5x5x5 feet) where my pool man discovered a roughly 12 inch long, multi-colored snake. I want to be able to assure him it is gone. I can’t see the snake so can’t get a picture but I suspect there are lots of hiding places. Does anyone know of a snake wrangler who might be able to help me do a search and removal. The snake may already have gone on his way, but the uncertainty is still there. My contractor identified the probable ingress spot and will be sealing that off. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideSky Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 Since the local wildlife rescue closed, I'm not sure if there is anyone around anymore. Most mexicans will kill snakes regardless if they are harmless or not. Unfortunately without proper identification as whether it is venomous or not it will be tough to get someone. I believe the nearest wildlife rescue is in Tlaquapaque. Not sure if the bomberos would tackle snake wrangling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elevator Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 Gotta be real careful on this one. One multi-color is harmless and the other, a coral snake, is deadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

utilitus Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 "To easily identify a coral snake, remember this rhyme about the sequence of its' color bands: Red touches yellow, kills a fellow. Red touches black, venom lack." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IkoIko Posted April 17 Author Report Share Posted April 17 This is a great help. I wish I could see it and get a picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IkoIko Posted April 18 Author Report Share Posted April 18 The outcome on this situation is the snake left on his own and the probable hole he came in was closed. Great relief and end of the story. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artsnob Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 I had a real coral snake in my garden 25 years ago, my gardner caught it and took out in the wilds, Never saw another one again, found hole at bottom of wall it came in along with rodents, plugged it up, cat got everything that was caught inside...
