5 Non-Venomous Snakes of Missouri

It's snake season in Missouri, and you know what that means! It's that time when you're constantly on the lookout for any creepy slithering snakes hanging around your home. In last week's blog, we talked about 5 Venomous Snakes of Missouri. This week, we're going to cover some of the common snakes that are local to the lake area that are NOT venomous. So, here's 5 Non-Venomous Snakes of Missouri.

5 Non-Venomous Snakes of Missouri

Western Ratsnake
Often called the "black snake," the western ratsnake is one of our state's largest and most familiar snakes. Generally, they're shiny black, but some will show dark-brown blotches. The skin between the scales along the sides may be red. They take shelter in brush piles, hollow trees, farm buildings, and old houses where mice are plenty. These constrictors eat a variety of rodents, bats, and small birds. They are excellent climbers and often climb trees to raid bird nests. This snake can grow to be 6 feet long and live up to 25 years.

Eastern Garter Snake
Generally 18–26 inches long, the shy eastern garter snake has three yellow stripes — one along its back and two on either side. The red-sided garter snake is found in the western half of the state, and it has red or orange skin that shows along its sides.

Eastern Hog-Nosed Snake
Also known as the puff adder, this snake has a heavy body and an upturned snout. It can bluff predators like mammals and birds of prey with a display of neck-spreading and hissing or agonized thrashing and playing dead. The hog-nosed snake comes in a variety of colors and patterns, often resembling a venomous snake.

Eastern Milksnake
Like the hog-nosed snake, milksnakes mimic venomous snakes to scare off predators. The red-marked milksnake is actually a constrictor that looks like a deadly coral snake, which doesn’t occur in Missouri. Milksnakes are part of the kingsnake family, which have the ability to eat other snakes, even the occasional venomous snake.

Northern Watersnake
Missouri’s most common kind of watersnake is found statewide. Because it’s large, dark, and lives along lakes, swamps, and streams, it is often mistaken for the venomous western cottonmouth. In warm weather, they bask on branches, logs, or rocks along the water’s edge in and near creeks, rivers, ponds, lakes, and swamps. They eat fish, frogs, tadpoles, toads, and salamanders. This snake is non-venomous, but it will bite viciously if captured and ooze a stinky musk from glands near the base of its tail.

Contact A B Pest Control & Insulation Today!

All snakes, regardless of how dangerous they are, would prefer to be left alone by humans. If you encounter a snake while exploring, give it space. That being said, we hope that this guide will help you to properly identify a snake if you stumble upon one during an outing or in your own back yard. If you happen to notice an oddly high occurrence of run-ins in your yard, you may have a nest on your property. Make the smart and safe choice and contact A B Pest Control & Insulation to come out and remove the nest. We offer animal trapping and removal services and can safely remove those slithery pests and relocate them to a new home that's best for both you and the snake.

5 Venomous Snakes of Missouri

It's that time of year again when people are encountering snakes just about everywhere they turn. With social media being ever so present in our lives, we're constantly seeing posts on the local Lake Area Happenings asking "What kind of snake is this? Is it dangerous?". So, this week, we thought it'd be a great opportunity to talk snakes that are local to Missouri. More specifically though, we want to cover 5 venomous snakes of Missouri.

5 Venomous Snakes of Missouri

Osage Copperhead

Adult Copperheads range between 2-3 feet in length and tend to be active between April and November. heir colors range between a blackish-brown and a light tan color, with darker crossbands that often serve as camouflage, making Copperheads difficult to spot - especially when curled up in dead leaves.

Western Cottonmouth

The length of a full-grown Cottonmouth can vary between 30 and 42 inches, and are most active between April and October. As aquatic snakes, they prefer marshy, braskish waters, and eat primarily fish. However, they also eat frogs, lizards, rodents, and other small creatures. cottonmouths can be distinguished by their black body, or dark brown body with black bands. Juvenile Cottonmouths have a yellow-green tail which they use to lure prey When threatened, a Cottonmouth will open its mouth to reveal a cotton-white lining, which is where it gets its namesake.

Timber Rattlesnake

The Timber Rattlesnake is the largest venomous snake in Missouri: spanning up to five feet in length. It is a bright tan color with brown v-shaped spots that become bands near the tail, and it has a huge rattle at the end of its tail that serves as a defense mechanism. Timber Rattlesnakes are most active between April and October, and they are nocturnal during the summer.

Massasauga Rattlesnake

The Massasauga Rattlesnake eats primarily rodents and other small snakes, and measures between 18 and 30 inches long. They prefer wet, marshy habitats, including bogs and river bottom forests. Massasaugas have a thick, dark gray or gray-brown body, with darker, geometrically-shaped spots.  

Western Pygmy Rattlesnake

The Western Pygmy Rattlesnake is one of the smallest species of rattlesnakes in North America - only 15 to 20 inches long - but it can pack a punch just like its fellow vipers. They are typically found in semi-shaded hillsides and tend to be active between mid-April and October. A Western Pygmy Rattlesnake are easier to spot in the wild due to its heavy contrast in coloring: a light brown body with brown and black spots. Its tail has a tiny rattle that it uses when threatened.
