rattlesnakes

The good news is that Illinois has some great lake options. The bad news is that many of them also require some caution due to some natural residents. The fact is that the Illinois lake with the most venomous snakes also happens to be among the most popular.

This is not a smell you want to mess with, rather get ready to have conversation with a wildlife, animal, or pest control expert, and fast.

Rattlesnakes in our state are supposed to be rare, but not in this Iowa county.

You wouldn't expect to see one slithering in the water, but think again!

My advice: Just stay away from this snake or any other snake.

There are rattlesnakes in South Dakota and a hero dog named Bear has the wound to prove it.
