Non venomous hooded snakes?
Ok I like snakes that are hooded but I want to own one as a pet. Are there snakes out there that are non venomous that have hoods? I don't know the laws about owning certain snakes in the state of Idaho, the state I live in. I am aware that you can get the venom glands taken out of the snake but I'm figuring that would cost too much.

They are the largest of the three species and can grow up to six feet in length, though sizes of three to four feet are more common. Their length makes the more dangerous as they can strike farther, but they are unlikely to do so unless provoked, thus cause few fatalities.Timber RattlesnakeCrotalus horridus - WikipediaEastern massasaugaThe Eastern massasauga rattlesnake is also endangered in Ohio, and is rarely seen, though they have been found in northeast, central and southern Ohio.

They would normally only strike when threatened and their bite, while painful, is not usually fatal.

What venomous spiders are native to Ohio?
Black widow spiders are pretty much everywhere in the US. Bites are rare and there is an anti-venom for cases where symptoms are sufficiently severe.Brown recluse bites are also rare, and serious symptoms develop slowly. Bites by identified brown recluse spider (made by an expert with the spider, spider body, or good photos in hand) should be watched. If the symptoms of any lesion are bad enough to urge medical care, then get seen by a physician. I cannot give anyone medical advice. When in doubt, go directly to a physician who can make a diagnosis from evidence available to him/her, and who can provide appropriate treatment.For more information about recluse spiders that is rational and well grounded, see: UCR Spiders Site
