Among snakes in Utah

    There are 31 snake species in Utah. Seven are poisonous. You can tell what kind they are by looking at their eyes. The dangerous ones have oval eyes, like cats.  Those who won´t harm you have round eyes. But I don´t want to be that close to any of them. I get even more scared when I read “even dead snakes have been known to bite by reflex action.”
