SAFETY ALERT

Springtime is snake-time in Mississippi

Springtime is snake-time in Mississippi Spring in Mississippi means birds are chirping, flowers are blooming, and snakes are becoming more active. If you are outdoors in April, your chances of running into a snake have significantly increased because snakes are changing habitats from one season to another. When spring finally arrives, one often can find snakes basking in sunny areas. They need their body temperature to rise so they can be more active in finding ma- tes, producing offspring, and, most importantly, searching for food.
