Today Is World Snake Day by Dozzywest(m): 10:15am On Jul 16, 2022
World Snake Day, held every year on July 16, aims to increase awareness regarding the over 3,500 snake species that exist across the world. Yes, that’s a lot of snakes! And, guess what? Not all of them are as scary or poisonous as we believe them to be. The fascinating reptiles are often not given the recognition they deserve just because of the bad reputation they have earned over the years. For instance, a friend who is a traitor is known as a ‘snake.’ The day aims to change the negative perception surrounding snakes and promote the love for all living beings — even the ones we fear.

World Snake Day is celebrated every year on July 16th to raise awareness about snakes and their importance in our ecosystem. Snakes play an important role in controlling insect populations, and they help to keep ecosystems healthy.

Why are snakes important?
Snakes are important because they play an important role in the ecosystem.

Snakes are essential to the survival of many animals and plants. They are able to eat large prey and they can help to control the populations of other animals.

snakes also play an important role in the food chain. They eat smaller animals, which helps to keep the populations of larger animals in check.

Snakes are also important because they help to protect us from dangerous creatures. Some snakes can kill animals that are harmful to us, such as spiders or snakes.

5. Participate in fun activities like snake racing or snake-themed crafts.

What to do if you encounter a snake
If you encounter a snake, the first thing you should do is stay calm. If you are able to do so, try to capture the snake in a container if possible. Never try to touch or kill the snake – this could be dangerous and could result in serious injury or death. If you are unable to capture the snake, make sure to call for help.
