Snake Season in Arizona: Stay Safe on Trails

Snake season is here in Arizona, with over 50 species active from March to October. While rattlesnakes like the Western Diamondback and Mojave are common, harmless ones like gopher snakes and kingsnakes are also present. These reptiles inhabit various areas, including the Sonoran Desert, Superstition Mountains, Grand Canyon, and Chiricahua Mountains. Theyre most active during the day in spring and fall, hunting and mating. Snake bites are rare as most species avoid humans. If you encounter one, stay calm, keep distance, and call a professional. For dog owners, use leashes and consider aversion training. Prevention is key.
