Description

Snakes can be found across Alberta; providing many benefits such as reducing insect and small rodent populations, and acting as prey for other animals. Snakes are protected as a non-game animal under the provincial Wildlife Act (1997) which makes it illegal to kill, possess, buy or sell snakes native to Alberta. Snake hibernacula, underground chambers where snakes gather for the winter, and birthing dens, are also protected under the Wildlife Act.
