Snake I.D

[joepythons]

Yes , I do live in Illionois, i have never seen a snake like that before we caught it , and havent seen 1, since, the only snakes i catch around here a garter snakes,and at my uncles pond i almost caught an all brown snake like 5 feet long , he was slithering through the weeds, and i went to grab his tail, and went into tall stuff and couldnt find him

Ok i was not trying to be rude just giving you the heads up on that .I live by East Peoria and we have them everywhere here lol. Here is a link to some of the native snakes of Illinois.The Eastern Massasauga and the Timber Rattlesnake are venomous and normaly in the southern section of Illinois and are protected by law.Now a few snakes are not on this page of which is the garters and the black rats of course. http://dnr.state.il.us/lands/educati...akegallery.htm
