Re: [iPad] OT: Look what showed up on my carport!

 

If no rattles it is not a rattlesnake which I don't know as well but it is not a copperhead or cottonmouth or coral snake which are the other poisonous snakes in the US. They give me the whiles as well.

Usually it's a rat snake or corn snake. Harmless. Scared of humans.

If you aren't SURE, and can't identify it, NEVER assume it's NOT dangerous.

I have such a fear of ALL snakes that I get as far away from any of them as quickly as possible!

I did a simple web search ("venomous snakes Maryland"), and learned there are only 2  here: northern copperhead and eastern timber rattlesnake. In 34 years in Maryland, I have never seen either outside a zoo.

Do the same search for your area and at least learn what there is to actually fear, and how to recognize them.
