Timber Rattler
What kind of snake is this? (pics included)?
I live in northeast Wisconsin and there's a big snake in my yard. Im not sure what kind it is, or if its poisonus. There are 2 snakes in wisconsin that are poisonous, the timber rattler and the massasauga rattlesnake. It kinda looks like both. At first we thought it was a timber rattler but it doesn't have a rattle. I think its a Western Fox Snake but its head is different than the pics on google. Oh, and when it hissed it had like flaps by its head, kinda like a cobra. thanx for the help

definately looks like a hognose snake to me.
They arent venomous, but like with any snake, you dont much want to get bitten by one....
flattening the head is a typical hognose defence 
also, eastern hognose snake is indeed on that list in the second link, so i think thats what you've got, and he's very pretty
