Hi, in this wiki, you will find facts about a wide variety of snakes.

=different types of snakes= This is a picture of a Garder snake. == Although they make good pets (because most are dossile) You should never take any snake out of it's home in the wild. This snake can be found in almost anywhere (except for in water) in Ohio, especially under rocks such as stepping stones. Another type of common snake found in the Ohio area is the Eastrern Hognosed Snake. Some books will say that this snake will show aggresion but will never bite, DON'T LISTEN TO THAT!!! Be very careful around these snakes, even though they are not poisonous their bites HURT! The bigget snake in Ohio is probably the Northern Black racer snake. They can brow to be about 4 feet long!! Thats as big as a 3rd grader!! ==

=HOW TO IDENTIFY A POISONUS SNAKE= If you are close enough to a snake that you think is poisonus(if your not close enough don't get close!DUH!) look into its eyes. If its pupils are shaped liked very skiny ovals, its poisonus, if its pupils are shaped like circles or fat ovals, its not poisonus. The only poisonus snakes in Ohio are the copperhead and the cotton mouth
