Snake awareness comes down to a few key habits:

• Keep your yard clean and rodent-free
• Stay aware on trails and around rocks or brush
• Wear proper footwear when outdoors
• Keep pets on a leash
• Respect wildlife—don’t approach

Snakes are part of our environment. With the right awareness and habits, we can safely coexist.

Why this matters:
Prepared communities are safer communities. We love our Sedona beauty and the wildlife that comes with it!

Stay aware. Stay safe.

What do you do if you see a snake?!

If you encounter a snake, your actions matter. Our Sedona Fire District team recommends:

• Stay calm and keep a safe distance
• Do not attempt to touch, move, or kill the snake
• Slowly back away and give it an escape route
• Keep children and pets inside
• Monitor from a distance until it leaves

If a snake is inside your home or poses an immediate safety concern, contact your local non-emergency line or appropriate wildlife resources.

Do NOT:
• Try to capture the snake
• Throw objects at it
• Corner it

Why this matters:
Most bites happen when people try to interact with snakes. Distance and awareness prevent injury.

Let's be safe and protect our wildlife in Sedona!

Welcome back for Day 2 of Snake Week!

Common snakes in the Sedona area include:

Venomous:
• Arizona Black Rattlesnake
• Western Diamondback Rattlesnake

Non-Venomous:
• Gopher Snake (often mistaken for rattlesnakes)
• Kingsnake (beneficial—feeds on other snakes)

Key reminders:
• Not all snakes are dangerous
• Rattlesnakes use sound (their rattle) as a warning—take it seriously
• Never attempt to handle or approach any snake

Why this matters:
Proper identification helps you respond appropriately and avoid unnecessary panic or risk.

Snake Week is heating up this summer, stay tuned for tomorrow's post!

Sedona residents! It's Snake Week, and it's Monday so let's start learning about how to keep your homes free of snakes!

Snakes follow food. If rodents are around your home, snakes won’t be far behind.

Our Sedona Fire District team encourages residents to take a few simple steps to reduce rodent activity and lower the chances of attracting snakes:

• Remove bird feeders (they attract rodents)
• Keep pet food indoors and secured
• Seal gaps, cracks, and entry points around your home
• Store firewood at least 18 inches off the ground and away from structures
• Keep grass trimmed and remove debris or clutter
• Secure trash in sealed containers

Reducing rodent activity is the most effective way to prevent unwanted wildlife encounters.

Why this matters:
A clean, well-maintained property protects your home, your family, and reduces the likelihood of snake encounters.

Stay tuned for more posts for Snake Week!
