Of the 11 species in NH, only the extremely rare rattler is dangerous. There is only one known den left in the state and if it was in your area the locals would have heard about it. The exact location is not published as they are an endangered species in NH.
If over a long time you encountered 100 shakes in NH, the cumulative danger to you would be much less than one drive to the local store and back in your auto. |
Thanks for that great link! I hope I do not see the snake again but will try to get an idea of its markings if I do. It seems to stay in or under a large rock and comes out to bask in the sun. They may be more than one. There are a number of large old rocks (some with glacier marks that is quite rare I was told) where this snake appears. It seems to go off to some green area then to sun or???
