There are only two venomous snakes in Massachusetts - the timber rattlesnake and the copperhead. (Contrary to popular belief, there are no venomous "water moccasins" in the Bay State, only harmless water snakes.) The timber rattlesnake and copperhead are protected by law. You rarely see the timber rattlesnake.

∙ 12y agoThe Timber Rattlesnake has always been "The Maine Snake", but many people claim it has left entirely. I would assume there are some, but I wouldn't keep the antivenin supply shop on speed dial.
The timber rattler is "not in Maine anymore", but there may be 1 or 2. Who knows!

∙ 13y agoActually their is no VENOMOUS snakes in Boston. But if you south to Milton in the Blue Hills you can find copperheads and timber rattlesnakes. Common Garter snakes are not VENOMOUS they do not have Venom glands. Maybe the person who first answered the question read the wrong book not to offend any one. Just stating the real facts. Again no offense.

∙ 14y agoJust the Timber Rattlesnake. Just the Timber Rattlesnake. No-there are also copperheads as well. Please see post on discussion page. According to NH's own Fish and Game website... the Timber Rattlesnake is NH's only venomous snake. It is a protected species since there is only one known population left. There are NO copperheads in NH. The Eastern Milk Snake, not venomous, is often confused as being a copperhead. http://www.wildlife.state.nh.us/Wildlife/Nongame/snakes.htm

∙ 15y agoTechnically, yes, but extremely rare. There is only one known den of timber rattlers in the entire state, and they are endangered and protected-the state does not reveal their location.
