You know what they say, mimicry is the sincerest form of adaptation, or something like that. Fox snakes are not venomous, but they still shake their tails and create a rattle-like noise to tell you - because they don’t have those Yosemite Sam mudflaps - to BACK OFF. Same with the coiling and putting its “neck” into an S-shape. That doesn’t mean it will strike, though (although it could). It’s likely a bit intimidated by you and would like you to just respect its personal space. And really, that’

Now that's how a snake does a fish dinner! Jace Lorenzen sent us this video he shot last summer of a northern water snake near Camanche, Iowa sniffing out dinner - these snakes search by scent, not sight. (The largemouth bass dinner begins at the 45 second mark.) Northern water snakes are NOT venomous, primarily eat fish, and are found throughout Iowa. This is NOT a venomous cottonmouth (also called a water moccasin), which is NOT found in Iowa. You can tell the two snakes apart by their pattern

Our #5 post of 2023 is shaking things up! 🐍 From September: Hear that? This clever (and non-venomous) fox snake will shake its tail and make a sound like a rattlesnake to keep predators at bay. (We'll say it again, NOT VENOMOUS.) Fox snakes are one of Iowa's most common snakes. While they're not venomous (yes, again) it's always a good idea to give all snakes and wildlife plenty of space.

Okay, deep breath, because we're yelling timber (rattlesnake). But it's a good thing! In 5 years, Travis McDaniel has relocated 7 timber rattlesnakes from his property with the help of Madison County Conservation Board - these are just a few. We know you're already thinking - why not kill them dead? LOTS of reasons. 1. ALL snakes, even venomous ones, are an important part of a healthy ecosystem. 2. Snakes are predators that help control rodent populations. Rodents can carry diseases (and those f

🔊 Sound on! 🔊 That's a rattle, but not a rattlesnake. Bullsnakes will make a rattling noise when they want you to back off - but they have no actual rattle. They're also one of the few snakes that actually hiss. And unlike rattlesnakes, they are not venomous. If you see a bullsnake, give it respect and space! | Iowa Department of Natural Resources
