NO, in-fact they are only 2 venomous snakes found in the State of Maryland.

The Rattlesnake and The Copperhead.

Marylands common, widespread, and non-venomous Northern Water snake is very often reported as a water moccasin due to its similar markings, its close association with all wetland habitats and its aggressive reputation, much of the latter is actually defensive behavior. According to Maryland Dept of Natural Resourcesthe nearest venomous water moccasin (Agkistrodon piscivorus)population is in the Appomattox River in Virginia...

Supposedly there are not. And most sightings are attributed to misindentification of Natrix Sipedon Sipedon. The Common Water Snake. However, I have walked up on a Cottonmouth laying alongside a creek in Blount County, TN. I am very familiar with snakes and I know what it was. It was dark grey with a faint pattern. It had an arrow-shaped head, diamond-shaped eyes, and a blunt tail. The body was very thick, but the snake wasn't very long. And it was definitely a pit viper. My girlfriend's dad killed one in Swannanoa River in Asheville, NC. Another region they supposedly do not exist. He took it to the WNC Nature Center and they asked him where he got it. When he told them, they called him a liar. LOL

I have heard of sightings of cottonmouths from Glasgow and Christiana southward (below 1-95,) this is the same section of Delaware where willow oaks and loblolly (southern yellow pines) grow wild. We seen one crossing the raod in the Ted Harvey Wildlife Refuge about 1.3 miles west of Kitts Hummock. Grey coloring, fat body, and triangular head: definately a cottonmouth.

In the extreme Southeast section, Richardson County, there are three venomous snakes. Timber Rattler, Mississauga Rattler and the Copperhead. As a rule you won't see a Prairie Rattler until you are well west of Grand Island. That doesn't mean they can't be there, it's just they are more prominent the further west you go. In Northern Nebraska, it's primarily west of O'Neill.
