Nonvenomous

The Northern Rubber Boa, Western Yellow-bellied Racer, Sharp-Tailed Snake, California King Snake, Striped Whipsnake, California Striped Racer and Pacific Gopher Snake do not carry venom and are considered harmless to humans. Garter snakes such as the Oregon Garter Snake, Sierra Garter Snake, Terrestrial Garter Snakes including the Mountain and Coast Garter Snakes, Northwestern Garter Snake, Valley and California Red-sided Garter snakes all have venom in their saliva. Though this is not dangerous to humans, it does not usher a pleasant reaction. Many of these snakes may look scary though, and some of them are often confusing to identify. Gopher snakes can often be mistaken for venomous rattlesnakes for example.

Mildly Venomous

The Northwestern Ring-necked, Coral-bellied ring-necked and pacific ring-necked snakes are all harmless to humans but have mild venom which helps to debilitate small prey. The Desert Night Snake and California Night Snake are also mildly venomous but not harmful to humans.

Venomous

Western Rattlesnakes such as the Great Basin Rattle snake and the Northern Pacific Rattle snake are venomous and can be dangerous to humans. Many people are scared of snakes because of scenes in movies where snakes attack, but snakes will only strike at a human in defense if they are startled or feel threatened in some way. The best thing you can do is be observant and keep an eye out for snakes so that you can give them their space and avoid them. Sometimes this means being extra aware, as snakes naturally blend in quite well to their environment.

There are 14 types of snakes in Massachusetts. Some of which are diurnal, These are tips on finding these creatures. 1. When to find snakes = When looking for snakes in MA make sure its a sunny day in the Spring, Summer, and early and mid fall. The temperature should be between 65-85 degrees.

Garter snakes the most common snakes in Massachusetts can be found in virtually every habitat in Massachusetts. Other snakes you have to look a little harder. 3 What snakes will I come across = Garter snakes, Milk snakes, Northern Water snakes, Brown snakes, Black Racers, Ribbon snakes, Smooth Green snakes, Red Belly snakes, Ring Neck snakes Some of are more uncommon snakes like Hog nose snakes, Black rat snakes, Timber Rattlesnakes, and Northern copperheads, and Worm snakes can be found but are harder to find. Snakes like Red Belly snakes, Ring Neck snakes, Brown snakes, and some times Copperheads are nocturnal in Summer. Copperheads are most commonly found during daylight hours. Also some snakes like Ring Neck snakes can be found on cool cloudy or foggy summer mornings.
