Venomous Snakes Utah — What North Salt Lake Residents Must Know

Understanding venomous snakes in Utah — and the far more common non-venomous snakes in Utah — is the first step to staying safe.

Utah has approximately 31 snake species. Only 7 are venomous — and all 7 are rattlesnakes. Rattlesnakes in Utah range from the common Great Basin Rattlesnake to the rarer Sidewinder in extreme southwestern regions — all rattlesnakes. The species you’re most likely to encounter in North Salt Lake and Davis County:

Great Basin Rattlesnake (Crotalus oreganus lutosus)

Utah’s most widespread venomous snake and the rattlesnake most commonly encountered in North Salt Lake. Adults typically range 24–48 inches. The Great Basin Rattlesnake prefers rocky areas, brushy terrain, and the edges where developed land meets natural habitat — exactly the bench residential terrain common in North Salt Lake. Active April through October, denning together during winter months. Never approach. Call (801) 675-8829.

Midget Faded Rattlesnake (Crotalus concolor)

Found in central and southern Utah, including canyon country areas. Smaller and more cryptic than the Great Basin Rattlesnake. Its faded, washed-out coloring makes it easier to overlook — making careful footing essential in rocky terrain near North Salt Lake.

How to Keep Snakes Away from Your North Salt Lake Home

The most common question our North Salt Lake snake removal team gets: “How do I keep snakes away from my house in Utah?” Here are the proven methods:

• ✅ Eliminate hiding cover: Remove wood piles, rock piles, brush piles, and any debris within 30 feet of your home — these are prime snake shelter
• ✅ Control rodent populations: Mice, rats, and voles are the primary food source for snakes. Eliminating rodents removes the reason snakes come to your yard
• ✅ Seal foundation gaps: Any opening ¼ inch or larger is a potential snake entry point. Professional snake exclusion sealing prevents entry
• ✅ Keep grass mowed short: Long grass provides cover for both snakes and their prey
• ✅ Install snake-proof fencing: Solid mesh fencing (not decorative) installed at a slight outward angle effectively excludes most snake species
• ✅ Eliminate standing water: Birdbaths, leaky irrigation, and standing water attract frogs and toads — which attract snakes
• ✅ Schedule a prevention inspection: Our North Salt Lake snake removal team identifies specific vulnerabilities on your property — free of charge

How do I tell a gopher snake from a rattlesnake in Utah?
