Snakes Suburb Threat [PHOTOS]: Snakes Swarms Naperville Illinois, Summer Heat And Heavy Rains Combined Causes Plague

Once more, it is to be reiterated that the water snakes and garter snakes causing the apparent snakes suburb threat are feeding on small-mammal prey such as mice, hence not dangerous to people.

However, the Examiner reports that the Naperville residents are not noticing the snake numbers for nothing. The snakes causing the snakes suburb threat are said to be actually "prevalent" this year.

David Drake, a snake expert at Aquarium Adventure told CBS News, 'It's unusual for them to be out and that prevalent.' Drake added that the polar vortex may also seem to be one of the reasons for the snakes suburb threat. He said, 'Now they're out feeding in larger numbers. Also the recent rains and the floods are going to drive these animals out of their [hiding hole].'

Though city officials have confirmed the snakes as no threats, residents in the Illinois area reportedly still remain nervous. If experts said that there are four types venomous snakes along with the water and garter snakes, it still is possible that one of the poisonous types might end up near a human.

One woman in the Naperville suburbs afraid over the snakes suburbs has been noted by the Daily Mail. She said that snakes are becoming too common in own backyard. She claimed that she sees many of the reptiles crawling everyday on her shrubs and flowers. She also said that their size has alarmingly increased from summer of 2013, and that they don't seem to fear her humans anymore.

The resident named Nancy Quigley said in a statement, 'I'll have five and six of them on my bushes. They were twice as big as they were last year. They're not afraid of me anymore.'

Quigley also mentioned how she isn't the only type of person concerned over the multiplying snakes suburbs presence. She said even her delivery man just '[drops] the package and [runs] back to his truck.'

Snakes suburbs can be considered as no threat if humans just steer clear of them, experts say. Though maintaining distance is essential, it is still important to be more alert and mindful of where to walk.
