Venomous Snakes
You can usually tell a venomous snake from a nonpoisonous snake. Venomous snakes have a triangular-shaped head. If you live in North America, there are three main types of venomous snakes. The Agkistrodon (Cottonmouth, Copperhead), Crotalus (Rattlesnake), and Micrurus (Coral). The Eastern Diamondback was almost selected as the National Animal of the U.S (instead of the Bald Eagle). Here is a site I found to be very gratifying: http://www.venomous.com/.
