Mostly Harmless

Snake Helpers

Step two: Snake Helpers. Many snakes help us by eating mice and insects. They keep rodent numbers down around farms and homes.

Don't Touch

Step three: Don't Touch. Still, no one should touch wild snakes, because you can't always tell which is which. If you see one, stop, back away, and tell a grown-up.
