Instructions
Step 1
Dress properly. If there is a danger of being bitten, then be sure to wear pants made of thick fabric and high shoes made of genuine leather. Even if the snake attacks you, it will be much more difficult for it to hurt you. She simply cannot bite through rough fabric. Also protect your face and hands if there is a possibility of an attack from a tree. You can wear a wide-brimmed hat and sweater, this will at least partially protect you.
Step 2
Don't move in the dark. Night is the time when snakes are most active. Of course, this does not mean that she will not be able to bite you during the day. Try to stay indoors after sunset, which will be difficult for the snake to get into.
Step 3
Be sure to inspect everything around. Do not put your hands in holes or under logs, be sure to look under your feet when you walk. If you don't want to be bitten by a snake, be careful. This is the most important rule. Snakes rarely attack first. They show aggression only if their lives are in danger. For example, when it is stepped on. Never take a snake in your hands, even if it seems to you dead. She may be sick and have difficulty walking. But for the last bite of her strength may be enough.
Step 4
Freeze if you see this reptile nearby. Remain still for a few seconds, then very carefully and slowly walk away, without turning your back to the snake. She may not notice you, or she may decide that you are not a danger. Do not make sudden movements, they react to them. Always keep calm so as not to anger the snake.
Step 5
Find out what types of snakes live in the area where you are. Knowing their habits and favorite locations can save you from unwanted meeting. Be sure to find out what they look like and what sounds they make in order to see and hear danger from afar. Try to get as much information as possible. It will help you avoid being bitten.
