The few venomous snakes I've seen in New Jersey have all been on rocky mountains and hillsides. Never in the swampy floodplains that surrounds most of the Passaic River.
Besides garter snakes, the two snakes I see most often on the Passaic are Water Snakes and Black Racers. I've seen Black racers approaching six-feet in length in the Great Swamp.
