Not all snakes are dangerous to humans. The viper and the shitomordnik are considered poisonous. All the rest only instill fear on vacationers in woodlands and coastal areas.
Instructions
Step 1
To protect yourself, you need to know the enemy by sight. The viper is a thin snake, the thickness of the body is about 60 cm, steel-colored with a brown or black pattern on the back. Viper venom is used in the manufacture of a number of medicines. The muzzle is much thicker than the viper, the same length, yellow-gray in color with transverse stripes throughout the body. Emits a pungent, unpleasant odor that is difficult not to smell.
Step 2
The behavior of snakes depends on the weather. When it is cool and rainy, they try to hide in a secluded, dry place. During this period, snakes are less dangerous. When meeting a person, they try to scare him away. To do this, curl up into a ball, rise, hiss and make false lunges to the side. In the heat, snakes look for shadows, and when they hear a person approaching, they try to hide. If you start to chase, then the snake becomes ferocious, shrinks into a tight ball and lunges to get to the person and bite him. Therefore, you should not show excessive curiosity about reptiles in the forest.
Step 3
You need to move through the forest with a stick to stir the grass, dry leaves and create noise. Snakes are fearful, hearing that someone is approaching, they will probably hide. The stick will still help you not to step on the snake, otherwise it will get angry and bite. If a snake meets on the way, you need to freeze and let it crawl away. In no case should you fuss, run away, shout, attack a snake. Noticing an intruder, she rushes to the attack. When trying to escape, you can step on another snake, because reptiles live in families.
Step 4
It is possible to determine whether a poisonous reptile is or not by the pupils. If they are narrow in the form of slits, then the snake is poisonous, if large, then no. In the event that the snake crawled into the tent or bag, you need to move away from it and stomp with your feet or knock with a stick to create noise and vibration. In this case, the snake will hastily flee to a secluded place.
Step 5
The snake can settle in the garden. She just won't leave if she chose a place. You can see off an uninvited guest by mowing all the grass, thereby depriving a favorable habitat. Mice are a favorite treat of vipers, so all rodents need to be poisoned. All logs, stumps, driftwood should be removed from the site and the ground should be leveled so that there are no holes.
