snakes are difficult to attract as they do not eat any vegetation. depending on what type of snakes you are wanting to attract. most American snakes feed on rats, mice and other small mammals, while others eat frogs, salamanders, and even insects depending on the species and size of the snake. some species even eat other snakes.

it is much more feasable to go find them rather than them come to you. depending on the type of snake you are looking for will tell you where to look. larger snakes can usually be found anywhere there is an abundance of rodents such as grainerys, corn cribs ect. old buildings where there is edeble vegetation to support small mammals. smaller snake will hide under rotting logs while looking for frogs, toads and bugs.

wet areas are also good places to look for snakes as there is usually an abundance of frogs, salamanders, and other wildlife.

also, snakes will only eat living meals, they are almost never scavengers, so baiting your garden or yard with dead mice or frogs will not attract them either.

during cooler times of the day and often in the evening or at night, snakes are often attracted to heat sources such as the roadway or concrete areas as they are warmer. snakes are cold blooded and must regulate their own body temperature, so when the weather cools they will seek out sunny or warm places to bring their body heat up.
