The recent report from Northern California is a heavyhearted reminder of the importance of snake safety. We are saddened to share news of the passing of an individual in Redwood Valley following a snakebite encounter—marking the third tragic fatality in California this year.

While fatal snakebites are statistically rare, unseasonably warm weather has led to a significant increase in snake activity across the state. As these vital members of our ecosystem emerge earlier than usual, the risk of accidental encounters increases for hikers, bikers, and homeowners alike.

At Save The Snakes, our mission is to foster respect and understanding to prevent such tragedies. We urge everyone to remain vigilant: stay on marked paths, wear protective footwear if in tall grass, and always give snakes the space they need. Coexistence is possible through education and awareness.

Our thoughts are with the families affected by these recent losses. Please take a moment to review our safety and coexistence resources:
