SNAKE IDENTIFICATION

VENOMOUS SNAKE

The Bali region, like many other places in Indonesia, is renowned for its snake population. There are many different species of snake in Bali, not to mention all the sub-species, and many homeowners – and even business owners – have come across these slippery reptiles on their premises, in places they are not expected to be. Considering the variety of venomous snake species in Bali, it can be highly beneficial to be informed about the various snakes you may encounter.

Identifying a snake is no easy task, even for avid snake enthusiasts. When encountering a snake, they will likely try to flee or hide, which can make successfully identifying it difficult. In some cases, certain snakes can become defensive, rearing up or flattening out their body as they face off against a would-be threat. This can also make identifying a snake tricky.

If you should come across a snake in your garden, at home, or within your workplace in Bali, it’s always best to call in trained professionals like Snake Rescue Bali. Our experience and training give us the right tools to not only accurately identify the snake but also safely remove it from your property and relocate it to the wild. Never approach a snake you don’t recognize, as there are many species of snakes in Bali that are poisonous, but that can be confused for other, similar-looking non-venomous snakes in the area.
