Can anyone tell me what type of snake this is and if it's poisonous? The stray cat got a hold of it this morning in my yard. Now I'm worried about my little one playing back there.

Looks like a garden snake, let me ask my boyfriend. He will be able to tell what kind

So, he can't really tell because of the head shape, but call your local pest or animal control and ask

He almost looks like an eel so some sort of water snake?

@badadvicemom , I'm clueless with snakes so I have no idea what he is. But the nearest body of water is almost 3 miles away

@_sheriee although I'm not sure exactly what snake this is, I can tell you its not poisonous by looking at it. The shape of the eyes, pattern, color all suggest it is non poisonous

@_sheriee It looks a lot like just a garden snake. They dont bite unless threatened and even then would rather hide. I wouldnt be worried, just supervise your LO/go over the area before letting her play outside just in case.

@simplyshantell , thank you! How can I get rid of them? I thought this guy was dead since the cat ate half of him and pierced his body all up but he isn't and he's pretty pissed lol.

@_sheriee There are snake repellant sprays you can buy at your local home depot or lowes. Another alternative is getting rid of shrubs/trimming them down and making sure there arent many shadded areas/hiding spots since thats what they love.

@smash6684 , Lol! Funny you say that, I was just telling my husband that people up North don't have to deal with any of this stuff except the cold. There's no creepy creatures up there?

Moth balls and peppermint oil will repel them they can’t handle the smell, plus side too it gets rid of mice and the peppermint will get rid of spiders too

@pipelinemama , great!! Will the mother balls still work if they happen to get wet with rain?
Shelby·
@_sheriee, I’m not sure? I’ve heard both sides where some people say they are more potent while other say less. Either way they will dissolve at a quicker rate when wet
