Snakes: if you find them in your home or garden don't kill them. The appeal is launched by the Nautilus Discovery association which renews its invitation not to harm these animals, but to contact the free service for identifying and placing reptiles in their natural habitat directly.
It is called SOS snakes and it is a service that Nautilus Discovery performs at Cerveteri and in the neighboring municipalities, coming to the aid of those who accidentally find a snake at home or in their garden.
With the arrival of summer, those who live not far from the inhabited center may encounter such a situation. The first instinct is to take a broom or stick to chase the snake away. Nothing more wrong.
The snake does not behave aggressively unless it feels threatened.
“Keep calm, it's probably just passing by, the snake is as scared as you are because it thinks you are the predator,” Nautilus explains.
What to do if you find a snake in your house or garden
Therefore seeking to don't panic, we use the head. First rule: don't get too close and keep children and pets away. Second rule: let's not run away, but let's observe it from afar.
Are we able to recognize it? To know if it is poisonous or not? Probably those who live in the countryside or outside inhabited centers know which species are dangerous, in case it is better to have a guide or a manual of wildlife in the area where you live.
Third rule: we do not kill this animal which, as we know, is fundamental for the balance of the ecosystem: it keeps insects and rodents under control and feeds on many pests. Citizens of Cerveteri and neighboring municipalities can contact the free Nautilus service which sends an expert home to retrieve the snake and put it back in its natural habitat.
Who to call if you find a snake
In general, in the other municipalities you can contact the veterinary ASL or the forest ranger.
Remember this is the best solution for everyone.
