## What is Snake Identifier?

Identify a snake from a photo. Take a picture or choose one from your library, and Snake Identifier tells you the likely species, whether it is venomous and how dangerous it is, with steps to stay safe.

Made for hikers, gardeners, homeowners, pet owners and anyone who meets a snake and wants to know what it is.

What each identification gives you:
- The likely species, with its common and scientific name
- Venomous: yes, no or unknown, and a danger level
- Staying-safe steps on every result
- Description and size
- Habitat, range and behavior
- A history of every snake you have identified, saved on your phone

Safety first
AI identification can be wrong. Never touch or handle a snake based on a result. Keep your distance and leave it alone. If someone is bitten, call emergency services right away. For a definite identification, contact your local wildlife authority.

Premium
Identifying snakes needs Premium, a weekly or yearly subscription. Prices are shown in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account. The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your Apple ID settings.

### 1/5 — A snake is dead because it took your site 4 tries to identify a benign garter snake.

*2026-04-23*

I am new to this area and have chickens, dogs and a cockatoo. I had a very aggressive snake in a bucket with no lid I was desperately trying to identify before something was bitten, but absolutely did NOT want to kill if it was not venomous. 
After MANY attempts to get an identification from you I finally killed the snake to keep my animals safe. 
SO BLOODY UNNECESSARY…. Then your site finally came through that it was a benign snake that didn’t need to die. 
Do you think people are only ATTEMPTING to use your sit sitting in a sofa playing with their phone?  
I am ATTEMPTING to use the site so as NOT to kill ecologically helpful reptiles.

### 1/5 — How do I stop the subscription

*2025-12-02*

Did not know that I would be charged 4.99 every week and sometimes twice a week. How do I stop this

### 1/5 — Misidentified snake

*2025-08-25*

Identified a king snake as a coral snake and said it was 95% effective. This app still needs a lot of work.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-06-15*

I am very excited

### 1/5 — Too soon to rate

*2025-06-15*

Have yet to even see the app. Seems a rating is required to access the app. Feels like extortion to me.

### 3/5 — Can’t say until use it

*2025-06-14*

Apps requesting rating before use

### 2/5 — Insisted on being rated before I had an opportunity to use the app

*2025-06-14*

Forced to rate before I could use the app. Might update once I can use it.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2025-06-14*

Thanks for such a great app!

### 1/5 — Snake Identifier

*2025-05-30*

This is a horrible app.  Even when it responds, it does so with only a portion of the description.  Dont waste your money.
