Snakes

A mom traveling with her 4-year-old son had an encounter with some unwanted guests while staying at a Wisconsin hotel. Snakes in the pool and hot tub.

As you'll see in the video, this 20-foot-long Burmese python seems as strong as a gorilla and has a head the size of a dog.

I have a life policy of knowing about snakes, but staying away from places where I might run into the more dangerous ones. There is a little-known rattlesnake in Illinois that tends to be tiny, but don't let the size fool you. They pack a venomous deadly punch for those that cross them.

A python on the loose in Rockford is about the worst a headline can get if you're terrified of snakes, and I am. Please help return this nightmare fuel to his owner.

From Copperheads to Red Milk Snakes check out this YouTube video of a group that is looking for snakes in the Ozarks of Missouri, we had no idea there were this many kids of snakes out there...

This will sound strange, but I feel the need to correct some snake experts. I, for the record, am not a snake expert. However, I do think it's important to determine the most snake-infested lake that's actually inside of Illinois and not just touching it. Let's explore the numbers

Lakes are full of creatures, we all know that, but did you know that many lakes in Illinois are home to slithery snakes too?

Some people make unique choices about how to spend their time. I'm not judging, but this is one I'm gonna take a hard pass on. Some brave individuals voluntarily decide to go spend quality time outside hanging out with snakes in Missouri and Illinois and many are venomous, too. I'm talking about the snakes, of course.

The residents of Illinois get excited about the nicer weather of spring and summer but they must be aware of the dangerous elements found in nature.

This is certainly not the experience you want to have when you move into a new home. A family in Macoupin County, Illinois got an unwelcome surprise when they moved into their new place and found snakes everywhere including their toaster.
