Where do Baltimore snakes live? Do more snakes live in urban areas, or wild areas?

Introduction
Snakes, commonly known for their limbless and elongated bodies usually live in most areas around the world. Just like any other creature living on earth, snakes also have their own environments that they prefer to live in. a larger number of snakes usually prefer to live in the tropical regions on earth. The reason for using tropical areas as their natural habitats is the availability of very favorable temperatures found in such areas.



Places to find Baltimore snakes
The various types of snakes usually have different spots in the tropical areas where they feel comfortable and free to socialize with each other. Such spots include the following;
• Tree tops
• In water bodies
• On the ground
• In burrows

Some types of Maryland snakes usually prefer to live all their entire life underground and for this reason they are referred to as the blind snakes. Others usually live in water bodies and this makes them aquatic creatures. Some of other most common areas where snakes may be found include swampy areas, deserts, in tropical forests, in grasslands and in prairies. The availability of food sources and security in such areas makes the snakes prefer to spend their lives hiding in such lives. The only thing that may cause migration of such snakes may be human activities that may end up killing such snakes in order to occupy the areas that snakes previously used as their habitats.

Reasons why snakes move to urban areas
There are different reasons why Baltimore snakes may end up moving to human neighborhoods. Such reasons include the following;
• Feeding purposes – snakes may move to human yards with an aim of seeking food. This may happen when there is minimal food in their natural habitats.
• Escape from predators – just as Maryland snakes are predators to some animals, they are also preys to some other creatures too such as the hawks. A rise in the number of predators in their natural home may act as a push forcing the snakes to migrate to environments just near human homes seeking security.

Conclusion
Baltimore snakes naturally live in areas where they can easily access food for themselves and where they are not a subject to threat from human activities. It is under extreme circumstances such as inadequacy of food and others that may make the snakes migrate to urban areas. In general, there are more snakes in world areas than in urban areas.
