Keep your distance.
Never approach or handle this snake — including if it appears dead. Read if-bitten guidance in the app.
Dangerous look-alikes first
From a safe distance to a verdict in three steps.
No forums, no waiting on a stranger to reply. Point, capture, and read.
Photograph from a safe distance
Stay well back and use your camera's zoom. Never approach or handle a snake — even one that looks dead. A clear photo is all Snake Identifier needs.
Get a venom-risk verdict
The AI returns a risk class — Venomous, Medically-significant, Mildly venomous, Non-venomous, or Unknown — with the reasoning behind it.
See look-alikes & next steps
Review dangerous regional look-alikes first, read if-bitten guidance, and ask follow-up questions in an in-app chat.
Built to be fast, cautious, and honest.
Every part of the app is designed around one rule: never imply a snake is safe.
Instant in-app answer
A clear venom-risk verdict in seconds, right inside the app — no browsing, no signing up, no guessing from search results.
Region-aware
Uses your device region to prioritize the snakes and look-alikes near you. It reads your locale only — no GPS, and no location permission is ever requested.
Dangerous look-alikes first
We surface the venomous species an innocent-looking snake is most often confused with — before anything else — so a mistaken ID is far less likely.
If-bitten guidance
Clear, conservative emergency steps you can reference to stay calm and act sensibly while you get to professional care as fast as possible.
Private by design
Anonymous use, no login. Your photo's GPS metadata is stripped before upload, uploads auto-delete after 30 days, and you can delete everything on demand.

An educational aid — never approach or handle a snake; if bitten, seek emergency care immediately.
Snake Identifier is an educational identification aid. It is not a medical device, diagnostic tool, or emergency service, and it can never confirm that a snake is safe or harmless. Keep your distance from every snake, including one that appears dead.
If you or someone else is bitten, treat it as a medical emergency: call your local emergency number or poison control and get to a hospital right away. Do not rely on this app in a bite emergency.
Identify with caution. Never with a guess.
Download Snake Identifier and get a venom-risk verdict, dangerous look-alikes, and if-bitten guidance the next time you're unsure.
