With the warmer months in full swing, snake season has arrived in Georgia. Out of the 46 snake species in the state, only six are venomous, according to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ wildlife division. Kathy Church, program coordinator with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, said these dangerous snakes include the copperhead, timber rattlesnake, Eastern diamondback rattlesnake, Eastern coral snake, pigmy rattlesnake and water moccasin, also known as a cottonmouth. The Eastern diamondback rattlesnake and water moccasin typically reside in the center of Georgia, while the Eastern coral snake’s range lies in Southern Georgia.
