Common Snakes Found in the Baltimore Area
Baltimore’s mix of urban and natural spaces supports several snake species.
Northern Black Racer
A fast moving, non venomous snake with a black body and white underbelly. While generally harmless, it can bite if threatened and often startles homeowners due to its size and speed.
Eastern Garter Snake
Common and mostly harmless. When threatened, it releases a strong, unpleasant odor as a defense mechanism.
Copperhead Snake
A venomous species identified by its hourglass shaped pattern. Copperheads adapt well to wooded and suburban environments. Bites require immediate medical attention and should never be handled by untrained individuals.
Why Snakes Can Be a Serious Concern
Beyond fear, snakes present real risks to children and pets. Curious children may unknowingly approach a snake. Pets may view snakes as threats or prey and suffer bites as a result.
Even non venomous snakes can cause injury if mishandled. Venomous species pose serious health risks and require professional intervention. Snake sightings also disrupt the comfort and usability of outdoor spaces.
Why DIY Snake Removal Is Dangerous
Many homeowners rely on myths or online advice when dealing with snakes. Common DIY methods often fail or create additional risks.
- Mothballs are ineffective and pose environmental and health hazards
- Snake Repellents have limited scientific support and inconsistent results
- Improper Handling can lead to bites or stress to the animal
- Misidentification of species can result in life threatening mistakes
Not all snakes can be handled the same way. Attempting removal without training increases the risk of injury.

Frequently Asked Snake Questions
Are all snakes in Baltimore dangerous?
No. Many snakes in the area are non venomous and help control rodent populations. However, venomous species like copperheads are present and require professional handling.
What should I do if I see a snake on my property?
Keep your distance, keep pets and children away, and contact a professional snake removal service.
Can I remove a snake myself?
Attempting removal without training is dangerous. Even non venomous snakes can bite, and venomous snakes pose serious health risks.
Why are snakes coming onto my property?
Snakes are attracted to food sources such as rodents, shelter, and warm hiding places like woodpiles or tall grass.
Why do I find them near my swimming pool or water features even though they're not water snakes?
Irrespective of whether they’re primarily aquatic or not, are ectothermic. This means they rely on external sources to regulate their body temperature. Swimming pools and water features often offer cooler zones, especially during the scorching summer months. Moreover, these areas tend to attract frogs, insects, and other small creatures which they might consider prey. Thus, even if the snake isn’t primarily a water dweller, the combined allure of cooler temperatures and potential food sources can draw them near pools or water features.
I've heard that they can climb walls. Is this true, and should I be concerned about them entering elevated spaces in my home?
While it might sound like a myth, many are adept climbers. They use their strong, muscular bodies and scales to grip onto surfaces and move vertically. This ability can potentially allow them to access elevated spaces, balconies, or even window ledges. While it’s not a frequent occurrence, it’s wise to ensure that windows and doors are securely closed, and any gaps or openings in elevated areas of your home are adequately sealed. It reduces the chances of a curious or wandering snake finding its way inside.
I've noticed a snake shedding its skin in my backyard. Does this mean it's growing, and will it get much larger?
Shedding, or ecdysis, is a natural process. As they grow, their old skin becomes tight, prompting them to shed it to make way for new, more elastic skin. While younger ones might shed more frequently due to rapid growth, even adults shed periodically to replace damaged or worn-out skin. So, witnessing a snake shedding in your backyard does indicate growth, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that it will grow exceptionally large. Its ultimate size will depend on its species, age, and environmental factors.
