ODFW has created two fact sheets about Oregon’s native snakes that dispel myths and promote a better understanding of these wonderful, ecologically important animals.

Living with Wildlife: Snakes (pdf) and S-s-s-s-s-Snakes: Facts for Kids (pdf)

There are 15 native snake species in Oregon. Of these, only the Western Rattlesnake has poisonous venom that is dangerous to humans.
