We’re now in snake season as the temperatures warm up even more across North Texas.
North Texas park officials are urging people who are heading outdoors and catching some sun this holiday weekend to be mindful of wildlife. Specifically, snakes.
In a Facebook post, Plano Parks & Recreation says recent rainy weather has forced snakes to venture from lowland areas to higher ground, where there's a greater chance of an encounter.
"With all of the rain we've had in the past few weeks, snakes that would normally reside in the lowland forested areas are venturing out to find higher ground because they have been 'flooded out.' This means there is much more of a chance to see them on the trail right now," the post read.
