Although many people realize the value of snakes, they might not appreciate having them in their home or yard.

Are Snakes Dangerous?

The majority of Minnesota snakes are harmless. Of the 17 snake species in the state, only two are venomous — the timber rattlesnake and the massasauga. The Timber Rattle snake  is found in the bluff areas of S. E. Minnesota. There have been only two unconfirmed sightings of the Massasauga in Minnesota.  Both are found only in the southeastern counties and are rarely encountered. The snake that most often appears in homes and yards is the common garter snake, which is harmless.

If you live within the range of the timber rattler or massasauga, you should be careful when approaching. It is, however, very uncommon for rattlesnakes to be found around human dwellings. Snakes hibernate in groups, usually in holes in the ground or in the foundations of buildings.

Unwanted snakes, especially common garter snakes, may appear in the spring basking on your patio or front steps.

Where Did They Come From?

Often, they’ve been hiding (or overwintering) in spaces behind or under concrete steps or patios. They gain entry through cracks or holes in the house foundation. These spaces provide warm (above freezing) places near or in the foundation wall for a snake to spend the winter. When spring returns, the snakes reappear outside.
