What are the two poisonous snakes in New Jersey?
There are many snakes that live in NY. Some include the simple Garden Snakes, Suns snakes, and tree snakes. These snakes are harmless, and some people even have them as pets. However, there are some not so friendly snakes too. The diamondback rattler, the black mamba, the Boa Constrictor family, and even the Hydrophis Belcheri Sea snake in the sewers of NYC. The diamond back rattler is the most venomous snake from the Rattler family, and is capable of killing a 200 Lb. man 6 times over. Every year, about 200 people (mostly hikers & campers) are killed by the diamondback rattlesnake each year in NY. Next is the Black Mamba. This is sometimes regarded as the most venomous land dwelling snake in the world. The venom is so potent, medical help must be seeked within approximately 30 minutes, or else the venom will shut down the brain, stopping all bodily functions, and eventually, killing the person. Fortunately, the black Mamba is rare, and only about three people are killed by it each year. The Boa Constricter family is not native to NY. Up until around 7 years ago, people were able to buy constrictors in pet shops. Kids all over NY bought them because they were cool, and when they grew to their full length, the could not keep them, so they released them into the wild. The Boa population is running strong. Last year, (2010) Boas killed approximately 37 residents in NY. Lastly, is the Hydrophis Belcheri sea snake. The Hydrophis Belcheri lives in the sewers of New York City. They are jot native to these lands either. They originated from Cuba and the Carribbean, and were brought over by Cartels (Drug Lords) to be sold on the Black market. They ran for thousands a piece. As time passed, many of the original buyers were not interested in purchasing Hydrophis Belcheris, so the Cartels began releasing them into the sewers. They mated, and produced an reasonable population, that is thought to have reached a little over 1,000. They feed on the rats that live in the sewer, and occasionally reach the subway. The number of deaths is low from the Hydrophis Belcheri, but it is climbing as overpopulation plagues NYC.
