It’s getting hot in Georgia and that means the snakes will be a little more active in search for shade & food. Snakes are like people, they don’t like to move around too much when it’s hot, but when it’s cooler they are much more active and sometimes more aggressive. The chances of you spotting a snake can be reduced due to camouflage provided by nearby bushes, leaves or other shrubbery. For your safety, here are six venomous snakes in Georgia that you need to look out for; ranked from most dangerous to least.
1. Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake
The Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake is the most dangerous snake in Georgia, has no natural enemies and is at the top of the food chain. It is normally found in south Georgia, although there have been a few sightings in Middle Georgia. The Eastern Diamondback is ready to strike at moments notice, it is highly irritable and will readily defend itself if threatened. This snake is the largest venomous snake in all of America.
2. Cottonmouth (Water Moccasin)
The Cottonmouth is a part of the viper family and can normally be found in the middle & southern areas of Georgia. It tends to like being around wetter/swamp areas. This somewhat aggressive snake has has a hemotoxic venom that dissolves tissue. They are primarily active at night but love to sunbathe. A bite from this snake can cause very severe and sometimes fatal injuries.
3. Coral Snake
Normally found in south Georgia, the Coral snake can potentially be extremely venomous. However, they are generally shy and slow to bite. Coral snakes account for fewer than 1% of venomous snakebites in the United States. Most people are bitten while intentionally handling the snakes. On top of all, Coral Snakes cannot strike quickly and must hang on for a brief period to achieve significant envenomation in humans. There have been no deaths from Coral Snake bites in the United States since anti-venom became available. These pretty snakes are rather short and easy to recognize with their distinctive alternating black, red and yellow bands.
4. Copperhead
Another viper, the Copperhead can be found almost everywhere in the state of Georgia. A Copperhead bite is almost never fatal to an adult but can still be very painful. They bite more people per year in the U.S. compared to any other snake. It is mostly active in the evening time. If you see one of these just step away because they are somewhat aggressive!
5. Timber Rattlesnake
The Timber Rattlesnake can be found everywhere in Georgia and is commonly found on Wooded hillsides (males) and rocky outcrops (females). It has a slightly more laid back reputation but has long fangs and a high venom yield.
6. Pigmy Rattlesnake
This snake is pretty small but it IS venomous, don’t let it’s size fool you. They can be found nearly everywhere in Georgia and prefer to hide among leaf litter. They do like to sunbathe and are usually active in the evening time.

The most dangerous snake in Georgia is the snake that you surprise. LOL. All joking aside more snake bites occur when people are harassing or trying to kill a snake. Just leave them alone. If you want them out of your yard you can call professionals like us. We offer affordable snake removal & snake control solutions. We can remove any from your yard and provide you with snake habitat modification suggestions to help cut down on the number of snakes that take up residency in your yard.

If you have ever fished from a one-man boat easing along the sides of a river in the south you have probably encountered this. A snake is sunning on a low hanging limb above the river and here you come floating under in your boat trying to fish when the snake, suddenly startled, does what comes naturally in such a situation….. he drops off the limb intending to hit the water and swim to safety when you are startled by the snake falling into your boat. Now, who is headed for the river?
I hate it when adults teach children to be terrified of all snakes because they panic. It stays with most all their life. They should be educated on the subject We had a 50 year old man who couldn’t swim drown because a snake came too close.
Really!?!?! My 14 year old granddaughter grabbed up a cottonmouth sunning itself thinking it was harmless instead of a highly venomous snake! And as a medical personnel, I’ve treated Patients with snake bites several times! Plus, a father with a 5 yr old son went to catch worms for fishing and was bitten repeatedly by baby rattlers and died thinking they were worms! Parents teach your kids, it may save they’re lives!!!!!
Does a cottonmouth baby snake at 7 inches have a solid,orange belly with a dark, grey top and a brown orange head ?
No. That’s the banded water snake. Nonvenomous, but they will crap on you when handled.
As far as the snakes we have our share in California but I do appreciate the forewarning.
I saw more rattlesnakes on Feather River, California than any place I have ever been including the Sonora desert.12 in one day and they would come at us in the river.
Good. I’m new to Georgia from California. He was wrong and an embarrassment to San Francisco, his team and country. Who does he think he is!!
Red Touch Yellow will kill a fellow.
Dumb ass snakes don’t chase
Clearly you have not been in close proximity to a water moccasin once they decide your too close they will charge, have had them move right at me even 10-15 feet away while I was trying to move away when i realized they were there.
I have had the same thing happen, snakes can be unpredictable. Those die from lead poisoning.
Witnessed an Eastern Diamondback Rattler sunbathing on Rt 348 near the Tesnatee Gap AT trail crossing Aug. 7, 2015. No, he was not flattened.
Folks, Just look at our state herpetologist, John Jensen’s book; Reptiles and Amphibians of Georgia. Unfortunately, there is both correct and incorrect information in the comments and in Mr. Jones list of six.
Has anyone encountered a brown on brown striped snake here in Georgia
There are brown snakes that are very small and striped, as well as a brown-phase garter snake. Both are non-venemous
On the coral snake I look at the nose & head… Black – jump back! It’s coral. Yellow, good fella… Kingsnake. In the picture here the nose and head is black so take care…
Red touches black u can pet hom on the back. Red touches yella it will kill a fella
Can the copperhead be a darker color same pattern but a dark tent
Yes. Copperheads come in a wide variety of colors, even within a small geographic area. See: http://www.reptileknowledge.com/squamata/copperhead.php
Just last year, while hiking, I happened to stumble across and Eastern King Snake making a meal of an Eastern Diamondback. I expect the two of them would disagree with the comment about having no natural enemies.
HI Kevin. I agree with you, that is why we have a waiting list of people who want us to relocate Kingsnakes removed from our client’s property to be relocated onto their property. Although we advise our clients of the benefits of leaving Kingsnakes… some just want all snakes gone!

The dimond back rattler has several natural enemies. For one, hawks eat them fairly often, as do most birds of prey really. I’ve watched a full grown buck stomp one to death for being near where the deer was.Humans kill them often enough.
Also, water moccasins and cotton mouths are not the same snakes. Moccasins are a little harder to find these days and are slightly more venomous.
I’ve worked over 25 years in Georgia’s woods and wilderness and have yet to be bitten by or have a bad encounter with a venomous snake.
The way most people who are bitten by snakes is NOT BY ACCIDENT, but by taunting or attempting to kill the animals. The eastern diamondback may actually wind-up a federally protected species, largely due to humans seeking-out and needlessly killing thousands of snakes in round-ups. At least Georgia has had the wisdom to quit sanctioning hunts (which kill a lot more animals than just rattlers), but our neighbors to the west are not so-enlightened.
By the way, cottonmouths and moccasins ARE THE SAME animal (Agkistrodon piscivorous) – the species name means “fish-eater” in Latin. It is a close cousin to the copperhead, which is in the same Genus.
Yes, one in the same! Cottonmouth term comes from inside their mouth. When shot & came up out of water the opened mouth looked just like a huge cotton ball…white as snow!
Cottonmouths and water moccasins are definitely the same snake. You are an idiot.
Agkistrodon piscirvoris;
That is a picture of a scarlet king snake NOT a coral snake. Please put the correct picture. Rex on black is a friend of jack, red on yellow will kill a fellow!
I see red on yellow.
Nah look again the black separates the red and yellow. For a coral snake the yellow separates the red and black.
Look again and not at the head or tail. The body is the important part and you will see red and yellow touching. What you are seeing is near the head and tail they have only black and yellow bands.
That is the correct picture. Red is touching yellow
“Red and yellow, kill a fellow. Red and black, nice to Jack.”
This IS a scarlet king snake…
The snake pictured IS a Coral Snake. It’s CLEARLY Red on Yellow.
Red touch yellow kill a fellow, red touch black friend of jack. The snake pictured is clearly a coral snake.
Good info over all, but cotton mouths are very aggressive and are known to pursue animals trying to escape it’s reach, that includes humans.
There was a documentary years ago that showed cotton mouths rolled up like tires floating in the river. It jumped straight up at the camera man (who was filming from the tree limb) That was scary.
You are absolutely right! Had 8 footer come after me in Lake Oconee in ’95. Thk goodness cop boyfriend had his pistol with him and shot before it got me. Near death experience, indeed. Never have been in water where can’t see what’s there since!
Snakes get into a big ball intertwined together to mate in the spring. They are usually oblivious to everything else focusing on the task at hand.
Some snakes do, but none of these.
Sigh… Cotton mouths dont get anywhere near 8 feet and dont live in lake oconee.
If it was truly 8 feet long and looked black, then cogratulations. You shot a protected and rare indigo snake. Very gentle snake can be free handled wild. But dont worry, Im sure it wasnt 8 feet.
Plenty of snakes, especially the black snakes, are much more aggressive during spring mating season.
The pics would have helped a lot. Other than that, great information!
Hey there you stuck… One Word Moron! Get off your babysitters laptop!
THANKS FOR THE INFO!!!!!!!! YOU FUCKING SUCK!!!!!!! I HOPE A CORAL SNAKE BITES YOU!
