Be careful: Spring time is when snakes are most active.
So when a KSAT employee and his wife spotted one while hiking on the West Loop Trail at Lost Maples State Park over the weekend, the message was clear: step back.
But what some Texans may not know is that the coral snake is actually rarely seen, Jessica Alderson, an urban biologist for Texas Parks and Wildlife, told KSAT. The coral snake is among the four types of venomous snakes in Texas, including the rattlesnake, cottonmouth and copperhead.. Unlike pit vipers like the rattlesnake, cottonmouth and copperhead, the coral snake is from the cobra family, therefore it has short and small fangs.
But venomous or not, this is the time of year when snakes, in general, are most active, as they begin to mate in the spring, Alderson said.Keep the lawn around your home trimmed low.
