Anyone who feels like “the only good snake is a dead snake,” doesn’t know much about snakes. They play a vital role in many habitats to control populations of various animals. They eat eggs, rodents, birds, and other animals that fall prey to them. They get a bad rap but they are a very cool animal to hang out with and observe. Without them in our area we would be over run with various rodents, and turtle populations that would bring in larger predator animals. So replace the old saying with a new saying… “The only good snake is a living snake!” Take this quiz to help yourself memorize some of the snakes in the area. It is also a good thing to learn which ones are venomous.
