More than a snake ID app
Most snake identifiers tell you a name and stop there. Snappit turns every sighting into a collecting game the whole family plays together.

The same camera identifies lizards, geckos, turtles, and more — the Snappit field guide includes over 430 reptiles.
One app for all of nature

A note on snake safety
Always keep your distance from snakes, and never approach or touch one to photograph it — use your camera’s zoom from well away. No app identification should ever be used to decide whether a snake is dangerous or safe to handle. If anyone is bitten by a snake, seek emergency medical care immediately, regardless of what any app says.
