There are some species of snakes that live in the ground or right at the soil surface. These are worm snakes and earth snakes. They will get about 12 inches long when they are full grown. They eat earthworms, slugs, snails and insects that live in the soil, so they can be left alone under the mulch. Wood piles are another great place for snakes to hide. Wood that is used for heating homes should be stacked at least 12 inches off the ground. This will reduce the hiding places for snakes and their prey.
