Snakes

- There are a variety of fourteen different snakes in CT. Only two of which are venomous (Timber Rattler, Cottonmouth). The other twelve species are harmless and help the environment by preying on bugs and small rodents. Snakes will sometimes though, get into basements, living areas, or even attics in their quest for prey such as mice, or to look for a safe haven. For more info on snakes of CT, read the book
