Why Are Snakes Important?

Snakes are scary, but they are important to us! You are probably wondering, “How do snakes help us,” or “How in the world are they helpful when they bite us?”  These are good questions!  Snakes help us in many different ways. You know those pesky overpopulated  rodents in your house including, mice, rats, etc? Snakes eat rodents that destroy, cause illnesses, and do no good in our homes!

Threats to Snakes

Many snakes are killed by humans for no good reason. Snakes are often feared and scary, but in reality they are very helpful. Many people even have them as pets!

Snakes are more afraid of us than we are of them. Many snakes habitats are destroyed, snakes are hunted down and killed, and even fearing snakes is a threat to them!

Habitat destruction takes away safe places for snakes to live

What Can We Do to Help?

What we can do is spread the word! Tell friends, family, people, everyone how important snakes are. They help us so we should help them as well.
