HIGGANUM — A snake spotted by a resident in Higganum on Wednesday is not dangerous, the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection’s Wildlife Division said. The resident shared a photo of what appeared to be a small, or baby, snake on Twitter and wondered what kind of snake it was, fearing that “where there’s a baby there must be a mother close by.” The snake was seen in the Village of Higganum. DEEP’s wildlife division confirmed the snake was an eastern hog-nose snake. “They are not dangerous, it looks that way to scare away predators,” DEEP’s spokesman Chris Collibee said on behalf of the Wildlife Division. “Where this is one, there isn’t necessarily more,” Collibee added.
