Most poisonous snakes have a triangular head, pointed nose.

Six venomous snakes of Georgia:

Copperhead
Copperheads are tan to brown colored with darker hourglass shaped crossbands along the length of the body. Juveniles have a yellow tipped tail. Copperheads are responsible for a majority of snakebites in the Southeast each year, but their venom is not very potent.

Cottonmouth / Water Moccasin
Cottonmouths, also known as “water moccasins,” have large, triangular heads and are typically two to four feet long. Colors of this snake vary from light colored with banding to completely black or brown. Often confused with non-venomous water snakes, the cottonmouth can be easily recognized by its tendency not to flee the presence of humans.

Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake
The eastern diamondback rattlesnake is a large snake usually 3-6 feet long. These snakes are typically light brown with darker diamond patterns.

Canebrake/Timber Rattlesnake
Timber rattlesnakes, or canebrake rattlesnakes, are usually gray and may have a pinkish, yellow, orange, or brown stripe along the back. These snakes also have black chevrons on the back and sides with the point of the chevron facing forward. Most are docile, but will strike if threatened.

Pigmy Rattlesnake
Pigmy or ground rattlers are small snakes of various colors depending on the exact species. These snakes spend most of their time hiding and can be very difficult to spot.

Eastern Coral Snake
Adult eastern coral snakes may reach up to 4 feet in length. The snakes have a pattern of red, yellow and black rings in which the red and yellow rings touch each other (According to the rhyme: Red meets black, you’re ok jack. Red meets yellow, you’re a dead fellow).

Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieve it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. ~~~~~~~~~ For, it ends in the blink of an eye. Carpe Diem (Seize the day)!
