Do you think these would be snake proof? There are a lot of cotton mouth, timber rattlers, and copperheads here

I would not bet my life on the boots beingSnake proof .The boots are rugged and burly .I would give you a 50/50 chance, ifThe snake hits you above the ankle there is a good chance you will get Fangs in the skin.

Can anyone explain to me how I would go about asking questions like this on other products? I've received several "amazon answers" questions on these boots, but I'm not very computer savvy and don't know how to create a new question. Thank you.

They are quite heavy and thick. I am not sure how much a snake could penetrate. They are thinner up towards the top. Very thick up about half way.

Yes, they are chain saw proof so I would think they would also be snake proof.

I wouldn't have blind faith that you were completely safe as they are not intended for this purpose. That being said, the multiple layers of chainsaw protection and steel toe would certainly give you a better chance than a regular rubber boot. Are you looking for a chainsaw boot in particular? Or just a rubber boot with a better chance of stopping a snake bite? If you haven't already, I'd recommend looking into the snake proof boots on the market, I don't have a need but have seen many different models that look pretty cool.

Absolutely. These are tough boots. They would be 'coyote proof' if not snake proof.

For a close up butterfly or a beaver one hundred yards away, these will serve you well. The only draw back is the warning that they are not water proof; I hesitate using them in the rain.

No these are not snake proof. I have another pair for that: http://www.amazon.com/Orvis-Snake-proof-Gaiters/dp/B004E8HQC4/ref=pd_sim_sbs_a_9

My dogs have had the collars on in the rain a few times and have been in a deep stream once. They are still working, but if you look at the description, they are not supposed to be submersible. I would not chance it too much if you can help it.

We have rabbits, and they can chew through anything that isn't metal. Buy rabbit wire and protect your wire bundle by keeping them away from it.

We caught a harmless snake in ours and checked with the department of conservation and mineral oil should be used so may work on other creatures........ (I know this is a very late reply but in case anything else gets stuck !!!)

Well it depends on what kind of animals you are referring to? This holes are not very big and contain children quite well. If you are talking puppies or cats then I think you are fine. But if you mean lizards or snakes then I would not recommend.

Possibly... I've only used them in the snow and hiking in northern MN, so we don't have much for snakes.

Yes they are water proof, but to a certain extent. You dont want them getting soaked all the time.

I don't think that they would hold up for that. They have a silicone sleeve to protect them from mild wet conditions, but prolonged exposure to water or fully submerging them is probably going to cause damage. The controller, connections, and power supply are definitely NOT waterproof.

No ! These are not water proof. On a hard surface floor they can really move.

I unfortunately :( have caught several lizards with these on my porch. They should be able to handle garter snakes no problem. You will need to dispose of them still though.

Sorry but I wouldnt really know. I have all types of different reptiles except snakes.

I have always heard they are not water proof. That's a better question to direct to Tri-Tronics to make sure you get the correct answer before you get it wet. Good Luck!

We've definitely had some here in NY since I bought them and they've been great. They are somewhat protected by secured rocks that make up the waterfall though. They are decently heavy and ole profile as well.

I dont know about running off snakes. It is very accurate. It would not hurt the snake, maybe just upset. Airsoft pistols are more for fun then anything. You may want to buying a real bb pistol. One with at least 500fps rating, It would have enough power to hurt a snake.

Kathy, since you place these underground, they could potentially be okay. What I did observe in one case, the critter actually pushed the 1/2 poison block to the surface. In that case, it would be a problem for free range chicks.
