what snakes are found in idaho
Of the 12 species of snakes that live in Idaho, the four most likely to cross urban landscapes are: 1  Common garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis) 2  Western terrestrial garter snake (Thamnophis elegans)  Gopher snake (Pituophis catenifer)
In fact more people die from wasp and bee stings than from snake bites. http://www.idahogeocachers.org/images/graphics/rattler.jpg (broken link) The only poisonous snake found in Idaho is the Rattlesnake. Rattlesnakes bite their victims with fangs that are hinged to swing downward from the snake's upper jaw. Venom is injected into the victim through grooves along the fangs.
