Most snake bites happen during the dry cool months (March -June).
- Snakes are much more active in a humid climate.
- Just before hibernating during the winter months, snakes spend most of their time searching for food and nesting for the hibernation period. This is the reason that March is the peak period for snake bites.
Note: Even at Winter Times snakes can still be found searching for food and nesting due to Barberton’s climate conditions.
