Snake Skins Found In Basement<\/h2>\n

\"pigmy_rattlesnake\"Do you have snakes or snake skins that have been found in your basement in Greater Tampa and Florida? If you do, you are not alone. This is a common occurrence in\u00a0basements in most residential neighborhoods. Basements provide the perfect habitat for snakes. Most basements will be dark, dingy, and virtually undisturbed frequently by homeowners. Most basements will have small cracks and openings around window wells or even basement doors, giving easy access for snakes,\u00a0rodents, and other critters. During cooler times of the year, your basement will actually be a lot warmer than the outside air, creating a\u00a0suitable home for a cold-blooded snake.<\/p>\n

If you have found a snakeskin in your basement, your first we action is to grab a flashlight and start looking around. Most basements will have limited lighting, so a\u00a0flashlight will be required. When scanning across the basement\u00a0looking for more snakeskins or the presence of live snakes, your imagination can run wild. You’ll notice that most electric lines and wires will all resemble snakes. The important thing to remember is snakes are excellent climbers. Snakes, once in a basement have the ability to go up the walls, get into floor insulation, and can often be found close to a hot water heater if one is\u00a0in your basement. If more than one snake skin is found, it is very possible that there is\u00a0multiple snakes there or has been as some point. Now that doesn’t necessarily mean the snakes currently are there. Snakes regardless of where they are found,\u00a0cannot survive by\u00a0staying in a basement 24 hours a day,\u00a0and will be required to come out naturally. Snakes will usually enter basement areas in search of\u00a0a food source, like rodents, who also take advantage of small cracks in crevices in the foundation. The good news about snakes, is snakes can not chew to make openings, but rather rely on pre-existing openings to gain access into basements,\u00a0making sealing them out very easy.
