When Midwesterners and New Englanders venture into the woods or onto the water they normally don’t give venomous snakes a second thought. Except for some very localized exceptions (like the summit of New York’s Overlook Mountain that’s home to a den of approximately 75 rare Timber Rattlesnakes), there’s little chance they’ll cross paths with a venomous snake close to home.
Southerners, however, develop a second sense about snakes any time they are outdoors, especially in the summer months when the reptiles are most active. In much of the South, especially the country of the Lower Mississippi River, there are at least four kinds of native venomous snakes out and about including rattle snakes, copperheads, cottonmouth moccasins, and coral snakes.
