Informative Snake Entries – Photos and Facts

There are some vital info bits for each snake listed.

Though the photos are pretty accurate, please don’t attempt to identify snakes on your own and handle them if you think they are not dangerous. There are MANY snakes we did not list in the book that look similar to these harmless snakes. Be smart and don’t handle any snake.
