NJ Snakes: Venomous vs. Harmless
Description
Spring in New Jersey brings increased snake sightings, but only two species pose a venomous threat: the timber rattlesnake and the northern copperhead. These rare, shy creatures are found in specific areas like the Kittatinny Ridge and Pine Barrens. Misidentification often leads to unnecessary killings, as harmless lookalikes like garter snakes and water snakes are mistaken for venomous ones. If you encounter a snake, observe from a distance and contact professionals for assistance.
