Encountering Snakes in Georgia: What to Do and How to Identify Them

Coming across a snake in the wild sends people running for the hills, but it's even worse when a snake has found its way into your space. When searching for food or for shelter, snakes can and will slither their way into your house—and they're even more likely to do so when temperatures begin to rise.

Georgia has quite a few species of snakes and fortunately very few of them are poisonous. So, most of the snakes that you could come across are going to be the good ones. The ones who eat insects, rodents, and of course other snakes. To learn how to identify which of our slithery friends is hanging out near your home visit: https://georgiawildlife.com/georgiasnakes.
