Snakes are to the animal world what toadstools are to the vegetable world—wonderful things, beautiful things, but fearsome things, because some of them are deadly poison. Out of one hundred and eleven species of snakes found in the United States, seventeen are poisonous. They are found in every state, but are most abundant in the Southwest. These may be divided into coral snakes, moccasins, and rattlers. The coral snakes are found in the southern states. They are very much like harmless snakes in shape, but are easily distinguished by their remarkable colors, broad alternating rings of red and black, the latter bordered with very narrow rings of yellow. The rattlesnakes are readily told at once by the rattle. -Adapted from Scouting For Girls, Official Handbook of the Girl Scouts
