The East Bay Regional Park District has issued a rattlesnake advisory as the weather heats up and snakes become more active.
The district said on its website Friday that snakes, notably rattlesnakes, typically emerge in warm weather to explore their environment, which can lead to more encounters with humans and dogs.
The district also says if you see a rattlesnake, leave it alone. Don't try to capture or harm it. All park wildlife is protected by law. If you see a snake on a trail, wait for it to cross and do not approach. Then move carefully and slowly away.Sign up for NBC Bay Area’s Housing Deconstructed newsletter.
