ALLEYCAT I have to say, I love your avator so much. It reminds me of my kitty. ha

The snake in the OP appears to be a harmless garter snake. They have those in Minny, too....along with the equally harmless bull snake.
Well, Foxrac. You missed the fact that IL has 4 different kinds of poisonous snakes. I had to check my facts to make sure. Here ya go:

Just because he only mentioned one snake does not mean he missed in facts.

That's probably true, but I know a little more than he does in terms of where poisonous snakes are. I might not know them all, but I know the majority of them are down south.

I found few snakes from our basement. No idea how hell they get inside. So I took them to outside and free them. Also I found a lot baby snakes at outside when I took old tree log out.
One times. Our husky almost bring the turtle (hard shell and around 7 inches) inside the house. I was yelled at him. He dropped the turtle down. I just like oh crap. I took turtle to home and fed it and watched it in the box for two days. It got better then I free it outside. It got a few scratchs from our two huskies. Oh poor to turtle.
Umm... I see there's 5 listed in there![]()
