snakes

If you don't want to see a rattlesnake, there's one Missouri place you should probably avoid.

Never underestimate Missouri's ability to have a one-of-a-kind party. In just a couple of weeks, the state is putting on the party hats to celebrate the 20th anniversary and retirement of a two-headed snake.

It looks like a very peaceful Kansas City area lake, but watch where you walk because it has suddenly been ranked as one of the most snake-infested bodies of water in the state.

The good news is that Illinois has some great lake options. The bad news is that many of them also require some caution due to some natural residents. The fact is that the Illinois lake with the most venomous snakes also happens to be among the most popular.

This beautiful hidden Missouri place has a secret - tons of venomous snakes.

Here's one of the many things in nature that likely happens all the time, but we rarely get to witness it. A Missouri trail camera captured the moment when a deer appears to be bitten by a snake.

If it makes you feel any better, most snakes will leave you alone if you leave them alone. It probably will not make you feel better to know that Missouri's most snake-infested lake is 40,000 acres of vipers and many of them are venomous.

Sometimes nature just happens before your very eyes. That's what happened for a hiker in St. Louis, Missouri as they came across two very venomous Copperhead snakes that were either fighting or making a love connection and it's hard to determine which.

There is some deep symbolism in what just happened to a Missouri man who was outside reading. He accidentally dropped his book only to learn that he had narrowly missed an angry copperhead snake under his feet.

I could really boil this video down to one word if I tried hard enough and that word would be "nope". A Missouri man just shared a video of a cottonmouth snake who was on the hunt and it's as intimidating sight as you're likely to see in the Show Me State.
