I don`t know how many venomous snakes are in North America,probably millions,but I do seem to recall learning,many years ago,that there are four main species,namely :-Rattlesnake,Copperhead,Coral snake and Cottonmouth,all of these have sub-species,hopefully this answers the question at least partly.
