   - Place the Trap where snakes have been sighted
   - Place the Trap where snake dens have been sighted

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How can I tell the difference between poisonous and non-poisonous snakes?
There are only 4 species of poisonous snakes in North America; Copperhead, Rattlesnake, Water Moccasin and Coral Snake. Learn to identify these snakes from photos and you can safely assume all other snakes you see in North America are non-poisonous.

What are Pit Vipers?
Pit Vipers have a small heat sensor or pit on each side of the head between the eye and nostril. This pit is used to locate warm-blooded prey. It acts like an infrared heat detector. However, the pit doesn't accurately tell the size of the prey. Unfortunately, snakes don't see well at night and as a result you could be mistaken for prey at night. Three of four North American poisonous snakes species are pit vipers; Cottonmouth, Rattlesnake and Copperhead.

What should I do if I'm bitten by a poisonous snake?
Most methods of self treatment are now deemed to cause more harm than good. The best thing to do is remain calm and seek professional medical care as soon as possible.

How dangerous are bites from a poisonous snake?
Small children are in more danger than adults because the venom is more concentrated in their smaller body mass. It also depends on how much venom is received. Everyone who is injected with venom should receive medical treatment. It is estimated that 10-15 people die each year from snake bites in North America.

If I'm bitten by a poisonous snake, should I kill it and take it to the hospital for identification?
No, once you get to the hospital a simple blood test can determine what kind of venom is in your system. Emergency room staffs rightfully take a dim view of bringing snakes (alive or dead) into the emergency room.

Do rattlesnakes always rattle to warn us?
They usually do, but not always. They rattle because they are frightened and they think they will be seen. If they are secure in their camouflage, they probably won't rattle.

Can snakes hear?
No, regardless of what you may have heard about making noise to warn snakes of approach or presence, they are completely deaf and live in a silent world. However, they can pick-up small, minute ground vibrations of other creatures (including us) moving in their immediate area. It's one way they avoid danger and enemies. They also use this ability to locate prey.

Are snakes really afraid of us?
Yes. They live in a world of eat or be eaten. They take one look at us and "think", "I can't eat this thing, but it's big enough to eat me". Consequently, they are very much afraid of us.

Why does a snake flick out its tongue?
A snake's scent glands are located in its tongue. When it flicks out its' tongue, it is "smelling" the air, usually because it is concerned about another creature moving in its immediate vicinity.

Will non-poisonous snakes bite?
Yes, they will bite if they are threatened or cornered. Though their bit is not normally considered life theatening, they can be extremely painful and cause bleeding, infection and scarring.

Can the age of a rattlesnake be determined by the number of its' rattlers?
Not really, a new rattler is added each time a rattlesnake sheds its' skin, which could be anywhere from 2 to 4 times per year.

Do snakes lay eggs or bear their young alive?
Some snakes lay eggs, others bare their young alive. there is no such thing as a "mother" snake. After eggs are deposited or the baby snakes are born, the female's responsibility ends.

Can snakes bite while they are underwater?
Yes, they can open their mouths and bite while under water.

What do snakes eat?
Snakes eat worms, insects, lizards, small mammals, birds, eggs, frogs, fish and other snakes.

 
Snake Copperhead
It is characterized by the rich copper colors with wide alternating bands that extend completely around even the underside. They can be expected to be seen in gardens, flower beds, and around houses. Venom - Haemotoxic
 
Mating takes place in spring and fall and females give birth to 4-8 young in August and September. Adult females usually give birth every two years.
 
Western Diamondback Rattlesnake
Size up to 6 feet. It has characteristic loud buzzing rattler sound.
Their venom contains at least two poisonous, protein-based substances. One, a neurotoxin, depresses the action of the heart and lungs; the other, a hemotoxin, damages blood vessels and other tissue. Rattlesnakes feed on small mammals and reptiles. Like most pit vipers, they give birth from eggs hatched inside the mother. It has forked tongue. The snake uses this to "taste" the air and find its prey. Pit vipers, like the diamondback, also use heat sensitive areas in "pits" on the front of their heads to locate their victims even in total darkness.
 
CORAL SNAKE
Brightly colored venomous snakes of the cobra family. Coral snakes do not strike, but when touched they bite repeatedly, injecting a deadly poison that acts on the nervous system. The snakes are marked with a pattern of brightly colored rings or bands that are black, yellow, and red. About 40 species of coral snakes are known, most of them native to Central and South America
 
WATER MOCCASIN
Water moccasin or cottonmouth, common name for a poisonous aquatic snake, one of the pit vipers of the viper family. It is called cottonmouth because the lining of its mouth is white. It lives in swamps. It is a slow-moving snake with hollow fangs that inject a toxin destructive to red blood cells. The bite, however, is rarely fatal, although it is painful and can cause local tissue damage.
Brown or olive, with broad black bands across its body, the water moccasin averages 1.2 m (4 ft) in length. It feeds on fish and amphibians.

TESTIMONIALS

     Never did I imagine it would be necessary to place a snake trap INSIDE my home. However, after running thru the opened front door, and successfully alluding capture for two days, I was eager to get the large lizard out alive and unharmed for his sake and mine. Within two hours of placing the Cahaba Snake Trap he was humanely captured and I was able to quickly and easily release him outside. Your Snake Trap is a great invention and its use is clearly not limited to just snakes!  Jamie

     You came to my house the day that I contacted you about a snake that my daughter saw in our garage. You placed two large traps in the basement garage area and after a week I was beginning to think that it had found its way back outside. We left for vacation and when we returned five days later the snake was caught.
     I have attached pictures to see if you can identify what type of snake it was. Please respond by e-mail or you can contact me during the day.
     I definitely feel better now that it has been caught but just having the traps in the basement has allowed me to park and walk through my basement again.    Thanks!!! Louise


       Thank you so much for all of your help this week. I rec'd my traps yesterday in the mail and we have them set up in the basement and the house. It has given me piece of mind, even though I sleep with a metal pipe right next to my bed. As I explained, I am deathly afraid! I also wanted to thank you for all of the information that you sent with the traps. We are pleased with them, it will save us money in the long run since they are reuseable. Thank you again for your help! Tracy

     I recently called you to order one of your snake trap and we spoke at great length about the trap, snakes and my hatred I have towards snakes...good ones or bad ones...I hate them all. I put the trap in the location I spotted snakes before and I finally caught my first snake about a week later. I have one less snake to worry about around my house. Snakes scare the heck out of me...I'd rather have rats, mice and lizards all around my property than one snake. Thanks so much for coming up with such a unique way of trapping snakes....I'm going to use mine forever.

      I recently Purchase several Cahaba’s Snake traps to be used at some of my Pest Control customer. Since then I have caught up to 3 snakes per trap at some of my customer home. That is impressive. Now I am installing the traps not only at some of my residential pest control customers but at my commercial customers too. If you have any snakes around your home or Business use the Cahaba Snake traps. The trap is easy to use and very effective.I will recommend it as the best snake trap in the market.  Ivan Grajales


     I purchased the Cahaba Snake Trap to use on my boat dock. I had seen a water snake around the boat dock. It was nesting in foam near my wave runner. This was not a comfortable place to have a snake with many young children out on my dock. I had tried for over a year to catch the snake with a net and machete. The snake was too elusive and too quick. I found several traps on the market but most were made of cardboard, I knew that would not last. I found the Cahaba Snake Trap made of plastic and ordered one and placed it on my dock near where I had seen the snake. Within several days the snake was caught. I assumed my snake problems were over but decided to relocate the trap and within a week I caught a 2nd snake. I ordered more glue inserts and have caught 3 snakes. I leave it on my dock and in addition to the snakes I catch quite a few insects. The trap is easy to use and quite effective. I use it on my dock, so it is in a wet situation as the trap is only a couple of inches above water. I hope my snake problems are over but I am confident my Cahaba Trap will catch them.

     My name is Luke, I work for Cahaba Pest Control. After the owner had prefected the Cahaba Snake Trap I had a friend tell me about a snake that was in his basement. I suggested trying the Cahaba Snake Trap. We placed a trap up in the floor joist of the basement. In two to three weeks we caught a large snake.  Luke
