On Sunday May 26, 2019 at approximately 1:00 am the Clarkstown Police Department received a report of a possible missing man. His wife called the police to report that her husband had left their home at 8:30 pm, Saturday evening, to jog around the track at Clarkstown High School South. She became nervous when he hadn’t returned, so she called 911.

Recently, a resident posted this picture of a large black rat snake at Congers Lake. Town staff was sent to identify and locate it and the photo was sent to the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation experts who identified it as an extremely large native black rat snake. According to the DEC these snakes average three to five feet but can grow to as large as eight feet. It is not venomous and poses NO harm to people. It is prime season to see them as they emerge from hibernation and the temperature is still cool out. They feed on mice, voles, small birds and eggs etc.
If you see this snake or others like it just give it space, they will be slower this time of year due to weather and will pose no harm to any residents. If you have any questions related to wildlife please call DEC region 3 general wildlife line 845-256-3098.
