My 12-year old son and I found two snakes in our small backyard of our new house in Georgia within three days. Ones was clearly a Garter snake which I caught and relocated to the pond behind me back fence. The second one we found was much bigger with a slightly triangular head. Not being very knowledgeable and thinking it could be a poisonous juvenile water moccasin, I made a quick conservative decision to kill this one since my son is always playing in the yard. We both felt it was the right decision at the time, but both instantly felt guilty for taking a life. I started researching that evening, found/downloaded this app, sent a photo in, and quickly got a response saying that it was a beneficial and harmless gray rat snake. I have a feeling we will be seeing more of these guys in the future and it is reassuring to know I have a quick resource to help make better decisions next time. Thank you to those that work behind the scenes to make this app work!!!!

I live in South Carolina, where there are many non venomous and venomous snakes. This app is fantastic at telling you exactly what your snake is! As soon as you spot a snake, take a pic, and use the app to ask the professionals! The only thing I don’t like, is of course, that it isn’t free. But I can’t blame the company when, again, they are professionals who deserve to get paid the tiny fee. I still gave it 5 stars, because even though it does cost money, the snake specialists absolutely get back to you within a few minutes with your answer! And the app is a great educational tool as well! They send you great info along the way. Overall, I’m happy with it and will probably end up buying a subscription simply because snakes are around all year long. After all , we humans have invaded their homes, not the other way around!

I grew up knowing nothing about snakes, only ever seeing garter snakes and rattlers in the mountains. Our family now lives in Georgia and snakes are not a rarity here. There are so many different snakes here and some of the venomous ones look like non-venomous ones and vice versa. We had a snake coiled against the house and couldn’t figure out what type of snake, only that we didn’t think it was venomous, but weren’t 100% sure. I found this app and submitted a picture and got a response in minutes and we found out it was a rat snake, even getting some additional information about this type of snake. I will be keeping this app on my phone because I don’t think I will ever be able to identify a snake 100% and I feel better now knowing for sure exactly the type of snake it was. I’m sure we will find many snakes in our time and I feel better knowing I can use this app!

We are new to TN. I’m seeing all kinds of creatures that I have never encountered before. Bears, weird bugs, snakes. I opened up a box that had been sitting outside for a couple of months. First box had the shedded skin that was my heads up that I had better be careful opening box number 2 … sure enough there was a small somewhat menacing little guy all coiled up. First thing I did was to see if there was an app to help me identify the creature, found this app took a pic and got a very quick and informative response. I respect snakes as much as I don’t like them for they help get rid of mice, bugs and other things. But I also like to know what’s what because I’d like to avoid getting bit.
