4. Jackfruit Tree
Jackfruit trees produce large, sweet fruits that attract rodents, squirrels, and bats. Since snakes prey on these animals, they are often drawn to jackfruit trees in search of food. If you have a jackfruit tree in your yard, it’s important to control rodents and regularly check the surrounding area.

5. Coconut Tree
Coconut trees are widely grown in tropical regions for shade and decoration. However, the dense foliage and crevices around the trunk can offer excellent shelter for snakes. Fallen leaves and husks left at the base of the tree can further increase hiding spots, making the area more inviting to snakes.
6. Wormwood
Wormwood is known for its medicinal properties and its ability to repel insects. Despite this, its thick growth and cool shade can create a comfortable environment for snakes. If wormwood is left untrimmed or planted close to the home, it may serve as a convenient hiding place.
7. Philodendron (Heartleaf Plant)
Philodendrons are popular ornamental plants grown both indoors and outdoors. They thrive in damp, shaded areas—conditions that snakes also prefer. Large or overwatered philodendrons can create dense cover, making them attractive hiding spots for snakes if not properly maintained.
