    Snakes
    :o I have always wondered when snakes in my area come out of hybernation. I have many leaves to clean up & have been scared by lizards & snakes enough! I live in Bangor, Pa. Can someone answer my question?
    Thank you for your time with this request!
    Wendy ;D ;D ;D ;D

    Well, the good news is that there are eighteen species of nonvenomous snakes in PA while there are only three of venomous ones. The venomous ones can be recognized by their eliptical eyes and a small pit between nose and eye. But I personally wouldn't stay around long enough to examine the animal. By that time it might have bit.


    Here are two very informative sites:

    BTW
    Coming out of hybernation varies with the species.
