Think you can't get bitten by a dangerous snake? Think again. When I was a young teen, my dad got bit by a rattlesnake in our backyard. What my dad thought was a bull snake ended up being a baby rattlesnake that was hard to identify.
It's true that identifying venomous snakes (especially babies) are challenging but possible. Learn to recognize the colors and different head shapes on a variety of snakes and over time you should be able to identify them in nature. This is a vital skill you must learn when you're living off the grid.
It's important to know that most snakes are not venomous, but that doesn't mean you won't come face to face (well, hopefully not that close) with one. Knowing how to identify one when your bugging out and dealing with a serious SHTF situation will ultimately be your key to surviving a snake bite.
Plus, if you were to get bit you'd be able to tell the people assisting which snake bit you, which would hopefully expedite your recovery process.
So as you continue to prepare for SHTF don't forget to prepare for everything, including how to identify dangerous reptiles such as snakes. My dad didn't think he would come across a venomous snake, especially in the backyard of our home, but he did, and he got bit.
After the break, learn how to identify a copperhead snake and find out where this dangerous reptile can be found in the United States.
Then continue to learn about more venomous snakes because by taking the time to know how to identify them in nature, you could potentially save your or someone else's life.

Yes I can be bitten by these snakes and yes I can identify them. I not ony raised snakes but did study herpatology.
All democrats.
Blunt tails
Copperhead…Cotton mouth…Rattlesnake. ..Eastern Diamond Back Rattlesnake
All i see is food
Most snakes have either diamond or oval shapes in the eyes, scales and head. The venomous snakes are are going to have diamond shaped pupils and eyes with diamond shape scales and heads
The best rule is, if in doubt take them out. Cotton mouths are the nastiest looking snake I’ve ever seen.
No But could do a good job stomping them to death.lol
Not a snake person !!!
I don’t care and what pattern or eye lid shape it has. Are you really gonna stand there and hope you got it right??? A few years ago one of the little bastards slipped under the door of the office I worked in. At first we thought it was a harmless grass snake and tried to sweep it back out the door “humanely”. Bad idea. Went berserk striking at every sound. Finally got it out the door where i killed it by repeatedly smashing it with one of those large freestanding ashtrays like you see if n front of stores. Turns out it was a baby Western Diamondback Rattlesnake! Could have killed everyone in the office and moved out n to the next one. The experience was – putting it mildly – horrifying! I don’t care what ANYONE says, there is only one kind of good snake & that’s a dead one.
