Back when I was a child, my boy scout leader told us that you could put a rope on the ground to keep snakes away. That seemed ridiculous at the time, but it was before GOOGLE so there was no way to check for sure. A close friend of mine just asked brought this back up so I figured I would finally set the record straight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Does putting a rope on the ground keep snakes away? There are some experiments that suggest a well-placed rope deters some snakes, but there’s very little proof. In reality, almost every snake will cross over most rope and they’ve been observed crossing ropes many times. However there are times where snakes won’t cross over ropes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n So does that mean that it’s a myth that snakes won’t crawl over ropes? Don’t be so fast to jump towards conclusions. Even though most snakes aren’t afraid of ropes, there’s actually a little bit of truth to this question. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCan Snakes Go Over a Rope?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
