eastern small-eyed snake

These snakes have venom similar to the black snake family, which destroys tissue and can cause severe problems (organ failure) if you do not receive medical attention immediately. Do not attempt to move them out of harms way or away from your family unless you can do it safely. They are rarely aggressive but should still be treated with extreme caution.
