Gray Ratsnake
Reaching lengths of up to 2 meters (6.5 feet), this snake looks intimidating. It also can sound intimidating! When threatened, the Gray ratsnake vibrates its tail, making other species (including humans) think it’s a venomous rattlesnake. But nothing could be further from the truth: This snake is completely harmless to humans.
