Snakes

A Missouri family has learned that venomous Copperhead snakes are now living in the crawlspace under their home and getting into the house.

The #1 hotspot for copperhead snakes in Missouri used to be a very volcanic region.

The most snake-infested Missouri park also happens to be one of the most popular.

No big surprise that 2 of the most snake-infested rivers in America are a huge part of Missouri.

Picture this: wandering through Missouri's wilds, seeking out snakes and frogs, a thrill ride that’s not for the faint of heart.

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.

One state should be more worried than others when the snakes are more active this year.

Jefferson Landing State Historic Site invites the public to attend Snakes Alive at 2 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 11

Visit the Bennett Spring State Park nature center beginning at 11 a.m., Saturday, July 6 to learn about the outdoor activities of native reptiles.

Snakes are showing up in areas people usually don't find them because of the flooding. Take for example the Copperhead found in Parkville.
