Snake Poop & Droppings

What Does Snake Poop Look Like?

How to Identify Snake Feces

When snakes excrete waste, it is actually a mixture of feces and urine that looks white and is more of a liquid than a solid, much like bird droppings. The pests’ waste may contain bones, hair, scales, and other indigestible materials leftover from meals. The abundance and size of present droppings helps indicate how many and what type of snakes are infesting a home.

Droppings will most likely be found in attics and basements.

What does it mean if you see snake droppings?

Though snakes excrete infrequently, infestations of the reptiles may leave behind a build-up of feces. If snake excrement is found in yards or around homes, individuals should assume that infestations exist nearby.

Risks associated with snake poop

As the fecal matter smells unpleasant and may contain the bacteria that causes salmonella, nearby individuals are put at health risk when the pests are present.
