First manual snake capture of the year 2025 has been confirmed.

Snakes are not native to Gran Canaria and have never existed here on the islands, to our knowledge, however at least one breeding pair of Albino California King Snakes were released into the wild some twenty years ago, leading to this invasive species having established themselves on the island, to the detriment of local wild life.

Don't panic, they are really not dangerous to people, and in fact you are almost never likely to find one, as they hate being found, and are really good at keeping out of sight. But, this has been a growing problem for local wildlife, and so monitoring and recording any sightings is now a priority for the island government trying to protect endemic species like lizards, birds and other small mammals, which are simply not evolved or equipped to deal with an apex predator of this kind.

If you would like to know more, then simply drop us a line in the comments below...

Primera captura manual de 2025

Aunque estamos en plena época de post-emergencia (ya ha pasado la época de celo y las culebras están en principio menos activas en superficie), seguimos observándolas y capturándolas. Lo demuestra el ejemplar de la imagen, atrapado manualmente en Lomo Calacio (Telde) a las 12:02 del 31 de enero.

Es un recordatorio oportuno de que, aunque la mayor parte de las observaciones se produzcan en primavera y verano, las culebras siguen estando ahí durante el invierno... como también estamos nosotros.

Si observas alguna por favor repórtala (por teléfono o WhatsApp al 608-098-296 o llamando a cualquier hora al 1-1-2). Si lo prefieres también puedes usar nuestra app.
