Can You Identify These Six Highly Venomous & Deadly Snakes?

dangerous snakes

When I was fifteen-years-old, my dad was bitten by a venomous snake. What he thought was a bull snake ended up being a rattlesnake, and it might not have happened if we would have known how to identify baby rattlers that are prevalent where I grew up in Utah. Though, I have to say baby snakes are difficult to detect.

You see, sometimes it can be difficult identifying a snake, especially if you haven't learned about them or studied their difference in colors and head shape. And if you're bugging out or going on a hike and come across a snake you can't identify, there's no telling what may happen next.

The majority of snakes are not venomous, but in my dad's case, he did come across a venomous snake. Wouldn't you rather be safe than sorry knowing you knew what snake you were dealing with when the situation presented itself?

If you do get bit by a snake, even if it isn't venomous, the largest threat to you is that your wound may become infected with the bacteria that dwells in the snake's mouth. In other words, if you get bit that bacteria is now in your skin. As for a venomous snake, well, even if the bite is small, not only will the bite area swell up A LOT, but it can turn into something severe — so proceed with caution near any snake.

    If it’s that bad just kill all snakes and be done with it!! You should be focused in what plants are edible that would be a big help!!
