This is the only venomous snake in Michigan, where it is known as the Michigan rattler, and in Ontario.


Yes, this is the only venomous snake we have in the State of Michigan and I for one and quite happy about that. Possibly could kill your dog, might make a child quite sick but unlikely to be lethal to adults.

It's a good thing to be on top of the food chain!
