Which snake acts like a rattlesnake?

This would most likely be a baby black rat snake. Until adulthood their markings strongly resemble a diamondback rattlesnake. They will often mimic the coiled strike pose of a rattler and even wiggle their tail. I can tell you from personal experience this is an effective method of scaring off predators.

How do I find out what kind of snake I have?

I recommend making a 'snake noose' if you intend to capture it live. But prepare a home for it, if you intend to keep it. A (dry) aquarium will suffice for that. If you merely want to transport it, a simple burlap bag is sufficient. Be kind, rewind...


I found a worm or baby snake in my home .How do you tell the difference?

Worms typically have a soft, slim body with no visible eyes or scales, while baby snakes have a segmented body, distinct head with eyes, and scales. If unsure, it's best to call a pest control professional to properly identify and remove the creature.


Do black snakes breed with poisonous snakes?

No. Snakes are only known to breed with their own species.That answer is not correct.It is a known fact that snakes inter breed.Many rattlesnakes will breed with a bull snake for example.Here in S Dak, many a rattlesnake has inoperative rattles, theydon't make a sound at all! This makes them very dangerous.It is easy to tell if a rattlesnake has bred with another type snake.The rattlers will be set off to about a 25 degree angle from its body,and the rattles will not make a sound, they are inoperative.This is because of inter-breeding.

How do you tell the difference between a rattlesnake and a bull snake?

Rattlers have a heavier body than bull snakes, they have a wide triangular head while the bull has a narrow, pointed head. The rattler has a rattle on its tail while the bull has none. However, bull snakes can imitate the rattler and will vibrate their tail. If the snake is in dry leaves or grass, it sounds just like a rattlesnake.

What does a girl rattlesnake look like?

Male and female rattlesnakes look very similar. Only a snake keeper with a lot of experience would be able to tell the difference in gender without probing the snake. The length, width and taper of the tail would give a trained keeper a good idea of gender.
