What is it, is it dangerous, does it live here?

Every snake, lizard, frog, turtle and more on your state's official species lists, with photos checked against each species, venom labels only where an official source gives one, and when each group is out.

Where the facts come from

Species lists come from each state's wildlife agency checklists. An animal is called venomous only when a state agency, an Extension service or a federal source says so; when none does, we say "not stated", never "harmless". Invasive species come from state agency lists and the U.S. Geological Survey. Month-by-month activity comes from open-licence observation records on GBIF. Every page lists its sources with dates. How we build each page.
