Bullsnake possession disclaimer: Bullsnakes are a Protected Wild Animal in Wisconsin, making it illegal for them to be possessed by members of the public without proper permits from the Department of Natural Resources. It is therefore recommended that, when documenting observations, snakes be photographed and not handled or captured. Furthermore, bullsnakes cannot be removed from the point of observation.
