Prevention Tips for Snake Encounters

Of course, the best way to deal with a snake bite is to avoid getting bitten in the first place. As an avid hiker and outdoorsman, I’ve picked up a few tips over the years for steering clear of snakes.

First, be aware of your surroundings. The Coachella Valley is known for its scenic trails, but it’s also a prime snake habitat. Watch where you step and avoid tall grass or brush where snakes might be hiding. Wearing long pants and sturdy boots can also provide an extra layer of protection.

If you do encounter a snake, give it a wide berth. Most snakes, even venomous ones, would rather avoid a confrontation. So don’t try to catch or kill it — just slowly back away and let it be.
