What kind of snakes live in holes in the ground?
Furthermore, do copperhead snakes live in holes in the ground?
Although they live under the ground in holes, they usually don't dig these holes themselves because they are not capable of digging decent holes.
Herein, what do you do about snake holes?
Covering holes with wire fencing, boards or burlap are all options. However, use care not to pile too much on top of the hole, as you might just end up creating a new place for the snakes to burrow. Use extreme caution when interfering with snake holes: Be prepared for a run-in with a snake.
It is true that the snakes will hide most of the time in the holes; however they are not able to make their own holes. They normally use the holes that were used formally by the frogs, turtles and other rodents. The snake may also hide in the tree hollows and leaf litter, bark or rocks.
