Being able to spot a poisonous snake takes knowledge and a little practice. Some of the most unassuming snakes are the most dangerous, while some exotic-looking ones are entirely harmless. This means you cannot easily gauge a snake\u2019s level of danger based on appearance alone unless you have the right foreknowledge. Read our article, \u201cHow Can You Tell if a Snake is Poisonous?<\/a>\u201d to learn how to identify a dangerous snake from a harmless one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Commonly referred to as \u201cPit Vipers\u201d, and all belonging to\nthe scientific family \u201cCrotalidae\u201d, here are the 4 venomous snake species\nnative to Indiana:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Copperhead snakes are typically only found in the Southern\nHills and Lowlands region of the state. Although venomous, Copperhead snakes\ntend to only bite out of defense, not for predatory reasons. So long as you\nsteer clear, they shouldn\u2019t come after you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cottonmouth snakes are only found in one small area in the southwestern\nregions of the state. They tend to live near slow-moving bodies of water, like\nlakes, streams, and marshes. As a state endangered species, you won\u2019t likely ever\ncome across one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Also known as Black\nMassasauga<\/em>, Black Rattler<\/em>, Black Snapper<\/em>, the Eastern Massasauga\nRattlesnake is another rate species, as it is a Federally Threatened species.\nIt is primarily found in the Northern regions of Indiana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also known as the Timber\nRattlesnake<\/em>, Canebrake Rattlesnake<\/em>\nor Banded Rattlesnake<\/em>, the Timber\nRattlesnake is another state-endangered snake species that you will not easily\ncome across. They are primarily found in the South central regions of Indiana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not only is it wise to learn how to recognize these venomous snake species in Indiana, as well as, how to protect your property from all snakes this coming spring and summer. You see, venomous snakes pose several safety and health risks, but common, harmless snakes can be quite the nuisance to your property.
