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.

Def not a timber.
Timber rattler is also the cane rattler and is in many more states than just Kansas,even in NH
Exactly what I would say
In a survival situation, kill every one of them and eat them
Bottom two are wrong. Massasauga rattlesnake then on the bottom that is a Western diamondback.
We have almost all venomous snakes in the US here in Oklahoma. Tread lightly.
Copperhead, Cottonmouth, Timber Rattlesnake, Eastern Diamondback Rattesnake
Brooke Ann this just popped up on my news feed hahaha
In my path, 4 headless snakes. Bury the heads as they can be just as dangerous hours after being killed
Nope nope nope nope nope and nope
Alessandra Byrd
Copperhead, cotton mouth, massasauga, western diamond back also the one which kills the most very aggressive.
Western nope, dark nope, spotted nope, and tactical khaki nope.
Four harmless animals if left alone. Ignorance, fear, and repeated misinformation keeps these creatures stigmatized as monsters. Don’t like them? That is fine, leave them alone. Don’t understand them? Definitely leave them alone.
Wallet, purse, boot, belt, holster, hat.
