Eeek! There’s A Snake Near My House!
Minnesota boasts a majority of harmless snakes. Only two out of seventeen species are poisonous – the Timber Rattlesnake and Eastern Massasauga snake, which have only very rarely encountered humans and live almost exclusively in the southeast part of the state. Unfortunately, if you find a snake in your home, you may not even consider whether it’s harmless or poisonous – you just want it removed immediately!
