slowcala said:I really can't see the head and eyes that well and they are the thing that determines whether it's a venomous snake. If the head is triangular and if the eyes are elliptical it's venomous. Be careful out there.

I looked at all the snakes online for Indiana and didn't see anything comparable.


The head was honestly triangular. It was the first thing I noticed when I saw it striking at my dog. Luckily, all strikes were missed. You'd think it would've gotten the clue that it's not safe for it to be around after my dog found it and tried to kill it, and then I found it and held it in accident.
Maybe we should get a second opinion...
