Episode Details

New Jerseys lakes and rivers, like Merrill Creek Reservoir and Manasquan Reservoir, are home to various snake species, including northern water snakes, ribbon snakes, and garter snakes. These snakes, while often feared, play a crucial role in controlling pests and maintaining ecosystem balance. Despite the presence of one venomous species, the eastern timber rattlesnake, sightings are rare, and bites are even rarer. So, the next time youre enjoying a day out on the water, remember that these slithery creatures are just doing their part in keeping the ecosystem in check.
