does anyone know a website that l can go to, to find a complete list os snakes poisonous or not that live in the south or in mississippi because l grew up down there and l was wanting to go look them up again because l had to grow up with the rule if its a snake its poisonous because there were like 8 billion poisonous snakes and probably one not poisonous snake =P.
sorry l didnt mean to put this in pets l realized it placed it under that by itself on the little check which area you want it in and then l clicked okay. sorry.
just so you know l dont want a snake as a pet.
okay heres the thing when l said there were 8 billion venomous snakes l meant there were an abundance of them not there were 8 billion species and l di know how to tell if one os poisonous but the thing is alot of the time they did try to attack us just because we were walking by so dont be an ass if you dont know what l am talking about.

You will be glad to know that of the many varieties of snakes that live in our backyards, only a four of them r poisonous. In the United States, only rattlesnakes, copperheads, water mocassins, & coral snakes r poisonous.

* Some milksnakes mimick the color bands of the coral snake to fool predators. An old addage to help distinguish the two goes ''Red on yellow, deadly fellow. Red on black, friend of Jack.''

Here u go. This has all the nonvenomous & venomous snakes in Mississippi.

By the way, Mississippi only has
6 venomous snakes out of the 40 snakes that exist there.

A lot of people r ignorant about snakes & think that there r a lot of poisonous snakes, when in fact there is not. The fact is most of the time when someone gets bitten, it is because they tried to kill the snake & very rarely people accidently step on them, causing them to be bitten (I do know that if someone tried to kill me or step on me that I would bite them as well). Learning how to tell what snakes r poisonous is the key to avoiding them. Most poisonous snakes r nocturnal in nature anyway.
