About Snakes in Georgia
Most snakes in Georgia are harmless and help control rodents. But Georgia also has venomous snakes, including copperheads, timber rattlesnakes, pigmy rattlesnakes, cottonmouths and the eastern coral snake, and it can be hard to tell which is which at a glance.
The safest approach for a snake in or near your home is to keep a safe distance and call a professional.

How to Identify Snakes
Copperheads have hourglass-shaped, copper-brown bands. Timber rattlesnakes have dark crossbands and a rattle. Cottonmouths are heavy-bodied, found near water, and may show a white mouth when threatened. Identification from a photo or from a distance isn't always reliable, so treat any unknown snake with caution.
Signs You May Have Snakes
- Shed snakeskin in crawl spaces, garages, sheds or the yard
- Snakes seen near foundations, woodpiles or water features
- Rodent activity, since snakes follow their prey
- Dense brush, debris or woodpiles near the house
- Unexplained rustling or sliding sounds in attics or crawl spaces
Why Snakes Are a Problem in Georgia
Georgia's mild climate and abundant habitat keep snakes active for much of the year. Rodents, in particular, draw snakes toward homes.
