Abstract
Nebraska has four kinds of venomous snakes — the prairie rattlesnake, timber rattlesnake, western massasauga (a small rattlesnake), and copperhead. Knowing how to identify venomous snakes, especially the kinds found in areas where you might go, is a good first step in avoiding them.
This publication provides information about Nebraska's venomous snakes, some guidelines for avoiding snakebite, and suggestions on what to do in case of snakebite.
