Mississippi Wildlife Officials Warn of Active Snakes in Spring

Spring in Mississippi brings warmer weather, blooming flowers, and increased snake activity, according to the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks.

As temperatures rise, snakes often bask in sunny areas to regulate their body heat. This behavior helps them find mates, reproduce, and search for food, officials said.

Wildlife officials advise outdoor enthusiasts to stay alert and watch their surroundings to avoid unexpected encounters with snakes during this active season.
