This NH Snake is So Venomous One Bite Could Kill You

What would you do if you found a snake in your bathroom? It happened to one woman in Derry, New Hampshire recently, according to WMUR.

Not only was it a snake, but it was a 5 foot long python. Pythons are not native to New Hampshire, but we do have 11 types that live here in the Granite State. One of them could kill you if it bites you.

New Hampshire Woman Finds a Huge Snake in Her Bathroom

There are 5 types of snakes here in New Hampshire that are on the endangered list, according to wildlife.nh.gov.

If ever you encounter these reptiles, you should be aware if they are endangered or not.

The Timber Rattlesnake is the most rare and the most dangerous. They have large fangs and are highly venomous. A bite from this snake could kill you, according to nationalzoo.si.edu.

The good news, however, is that they are rare, so the chances of you running into one is low. They are so uncommon, in fact, they are now protected by the state of NH.

The Eastern Hognose Snake is also an endangered species. When threatened, it plays dead.

The Northern Black Racer snake is another endangered species here in the Granite State

Smooth Green Snake makes the list of endangered reptiles in NH.

Ribbon Snakes are one of the 5 most endangered in NH as well.

Many of these snakes are sold and may be part of the reason they are on the endangered list.

If you happen to encounter a Timber Rattlesnake, you should leave it alone. If I were in that situation, I would back away slowly and hope it doesn't bite, but if it does, call 911. You're gonna need it.
