This species is common in eastern Ohio, with a few isolated groups in the northwest. There, this animal inhabits wetlands and flooded fields, where it imposes itself on its prey with its incredible swimming abilities. They’re also very quick on land – this is why they’re called racers. When hunting, they don’t use venom. Instead, they just catch up...
This is one of the most common snakes in the entire country, and in Ohio, we can find them across the entire state. They’re very easy to recognize, as they’re black or dark brown with a stripe running down their back. They’re often found near permanent water sources, but they’re not as dependent on them as some other animals on this list. To kill, ...
The southeast of the Buckeye stateis home to the queen snake – a species of snake eating almost exclusively crayfish – preferably crayfish with soft shells. It usually inhabits lakes, ponds, wetlands and slow-moving streams. They’re one of the most aquatic species on this list, as they only leave water to mate or to run from predators. We can most ...
This extremely rare and endangered species can be seen in the northwest, on the shores of Lake Erie, where it usually rests. These snakes usually inhabit marshes and wetlands, often exploring areas adjacent to those bodies of water. Unfortunately, this snake is endangered because of habitat loss. It’s also a common target of human attacks because i...
This snake has lately been reported only in Ross county, but it’s very likely that it has gone unreported in other Ohio countiestoo. They’re very active near bodies of water, which they use to their advantage. Since they’re completely green, these snakes can be painfully difficult to spot in the wild – this makes them difficult to catch and to hunt...
This snake can adapt to virtually any environment, so finding them in wetlands and flooded fields in south Ohioisn’t odd. They’re the only venomous snake on this list (given that common garter snake venom isn’t dangerous), but they luckily stay away from urban environments. Their bites are rarely fatal, since their venom is made to kill small anima...
Endangered in Ohio, we can find this species only in Williams county. There, this dark snake inhabits pockets of flooded fields and wetlands. It’s very easy to recognize – it’s almost entirely black with a red belly, and often a red head. It belongs to the Nerodiagenus, which literally means ‘water snake’. Although they’re not the only species of s...
Another rare and, sadly, threatened species – we can find the copperbelly water snake in northwestern Ohio. They’re threatened because of habitat loss – draining fields, marshes and swamps, which are this snake’s primary habitat – led to a drop in numbers. They’re the only snake to actually hunt in small groups, although this behavior is now more r...
As the name suggests, this is the most common water snake, and it’s actually one of the most common snake species in Ohio. We can find it across the entire state, as it’s widely distributed. It usually inhabits marshes and flooded fields, often seen sunbathing near water. They’re not very approachable and will flee on sight, as soon as they see peo...
This species is actually a subspecies of the common water snake, but we can only find them near Lake Erie islands, as they’re an endemic species. They’re different from common water snakes because they lack the crossbands pattern. Although rare and threatened, the future seems to be bright for this species, as they seem to peacefully coexist with p...
