Other Tips for Avoiding Snakes in Costa Rica

View/Add Comments (0 Comments) |

Keeping a 10-foot perimeter around your house cut short, free of shrubs, will deter snakes from coming close. They don’t like to be in open areas. Additionally, keep an eye out for snakes under your house eaves or even trying to slip under the door during very heavy rains.

I'm on my third career in life that of being voluntarily unemployed! The first two were house construction and later hi-tech as a software engineer. I was fortunate to be able to retire early in Costa Rica back in '07. With my wife and younger son we bought land and built a dream house with that million-dollar view you hear so much about. We spend time raising coffee, bananas, and fruit trees. My wife is an accomplished artist and has discovered new media to express herself here including beautiful ceramic mosaics. Pura vida! P.S. Now, in 2021, planning our next move ... to México!
