This is an ever-growing list of individuals and facilities that will do volunteer emergency snake removal. Please only telephone the private individuals on this list at home if you have a live, uninjured snake in an enclosed location. If you have a snake question, you can find the answer here or call one of the zoos or public facilities on the list. If you do not know where the snake is right now but you need it removed from your property, please call Snake Removal at 1-800-339-9470. If you cannot find a reptile relocator on this list in your area, Melissa Kaplan's list of reptile rescuers may be of help. If you would like to volunteer to have your contact information listed, please email us.
