Snakes

The good news is that Illinois has some great lake options. The bad news is that many of them also require some caution due to some natural residents. The fact is that the Illinois lake with the most venomous snakes also happens to be among the most popular.

Some nearby neighbors to South Dakota received quite the scare this week from a report that deadly king cobra snakes had been unintentionally released due to a semi crash.

Minnesota has 3 species of water snakes and one even bites.

One state should be more worried than others when the snakes are more active this year.

"SNAKE FYI: Please use caution if you visit..."

You wouldn't expect to see one slithering in the water, but think again!

Oh sure, we live in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, but there are only 17 species of snakes that call Minnesota home.

Imagine the surprise of the worker who found this.

In the immortal words of Indiana Jones, "Why did it have to be snakes?" If you hate snakes, sorry, South Dakota has quite a few different species. But how many of them are venomous?
