Snake Safety

??SNAKE SAFETY: In the spring, as the weather warms up, snakes emerge from their hiding places to eat and breed. While Israel is home to 42 different species of snakes, only 9 of them are poisonous, and ALL are protected by Israel's wildlife laws. Still, it’s important to be cautious when encountering a snake.

Just remain calm and allow the snake to move on  - and take the chance to watch this amazing creature in its home.
 
The chances of being bitten by a snake are very small but it's always good to know what to do in case - therefore we recommend you read and remember these guidelines:
