The United States has 3.5 million miles of rivers and streams, providing a habitat for snakes that thrive in warm, wet environments with plentiful food and hiding spots.
Rivers have more of a problem with human infestations than snake infestations, suggesting that while snakes are a concern, human activity poses significant risks to river ecosystems.
The longer the river and the more varied the habitats it runs through, the larger the number of snake species and individuals you could encounter there.
Interestingly, the article highlights that one of the longest rivers in the U.S. has no snakes at all, despite being vast and potentially snake-friendly.
