MEDIA STATEMENT : DEPARTMENT CAUTIONS COMMUNITY ABOUT SNAKES

The Department of Agriculture, Environmental Affairs, Rural Development and Land Reform, is calling on communities to be vigilant to snakes in their surroundings.

The Department request communities to be alert as snakes are attracted to dark and neglected places and take refuge beneath various materials such as building rubble, firewood, compost heaps and grass, etc. Dripping taps, water features and fishponds attract frogs which may feed on them. Chicken and bird cages as well as rabbits will also attract snakes as the food provided for the livestock and pets often attract rodents which in turn are the main food source for most snakes.
