For those of you who have visited this page before and to those that are new to this page, it has been brought to my attention (very rudely I might add) that the location of some snakes that were presented on this page were incorrect. This is being investigated and shall be fixed where and if needed. Please keep checking back for updated information! Thank you Chances are, you'll see several lizards and snakes in the field.  All will be interesting, most will be harmless, FEW will be venomous.  Though these animals can be very dangerous, NONE are to be feared unless YOU behave foolishly.  You're smarter than they are, so act like it. People who frequent wild areas, as well as those who camp, hike, or live in snake-inhabited areas, should be aware of potential dangers posed by venomous snakes. A bite from one of these, in which the snake may inject varying degrees of toxic venom, should always be considered a medical emergency. Snakebites are quite rare,  and even when they occur it is quite possible no venom will be injected. Nonetheless, those camping in snake territory should familiarize themselves with modern treatments for snakebites and be prepared should an unfortunate incident take place.            Copyright © 2000 Jon's Images, Inc.
