❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

🧠 General Questions

Do I need to submit a new form to change my data?

You can submit a new form and select "I'm already listed, but need to update my information."

What is the Free Snake Relocation Directory?

A volunteer-based network that connects individuals with local volunteers who relocate snakes free of charge.

How do I find a snake relocator near me?

Use our interactive map or the "Closest Relocator" tool to find a relocator near you. If no one is available, check back later or consult local wildlife control.

Will I be charged?

No. Volunteers agree to relocate snakes for free. Some may offer separate services, but relocations listed through this directory are free.

What areas does the directory cover?

We have volunteers across many U.S. states. Use the interactive map to explore available relocators near you.

⚠️ Snake Safety & Identification

What should I do if I see a snake?

Stay calm! Back away slowly and contact a relocator. Don’t attempt to handle the snake yourself.

Are all snakes dangerous?

Not at all. Most snakes are non-venomous and play a critical role in pest control and healthy ecosystems.

Can I kill a snake if I feel threatened?

Many states protect native snakes by law. Killing them is often unnecessary—and sometimes illegal. Please contact a relocator instead.

📞 Requesting a Relocation

How do I request help?

Use our Relocator Map or Closest Relocator tool to contact a nearby volunteer directly. Once you find a relocator, send them a text message — texting is the fastest way to reach someone.

What information should I provide?

Share your location, a description of the snake if possible, where it's located (yard, attic, garage, etc.), and any relevant safety details.

What if no one responds?

Try reaching out to another relocator on the map, or contact your local animal control if no one is available immediately. All relocators are volunteers and may not always be available.
