Prairie kings are common in western Indiana. There is no species of snake in that section of Indiana / Illinois that pose a threat to pets or people. Anyone who tells you different are wrong. I know the area well. Watersnakes are mistaken for copperheads or water moccasinss. Any snake that vibrates its tail is mistaken for a rattlesnake. Fox snakes do not occur that far south in Indiana.
