With clean living and a clear conscience a feller might be able to walk by all the snakes in the world. On the other hand, I seem to have an eye for them because I see them all times of the year down here. I hate snake boots and wear Turtleskin gaitors over my Muck boots instead...Geo
Just this hunting season so far, I've seen a coral snake, several moccasins, and both a small canebreak and a diamondback. That's 100% of the deadly poisonous snakes in Georgia.

No, forgot about it. I don't see them around here. Didn't include pygmy rattlers because I don't think they could kill you. Fact is the hognose snake (spred adder) is also poison but its fangs are in the back of its throat to kill the toads it feeds on...Geo

Geo, that coral is the badass. Myth is that they can't envenomerate except between the fingers because the myth is that they can't open mouth wide. They can inject into a flat surface from what I understand. Gil

Years back I was talking with Russell and told them I really liked my tall snake boots but because of some surgery I'd had it was too difficult for me to lace them...at his suggestion I sent them in for a zipper after I got them back I put them on laced them up unzipped them and a 4 wheel drive truck could not have pulled them off my feet...I was pissed to say the least they did make me a new pair free of charge.

Good snake is a dead snake.. I hate snakes, and am always looking out for them where ever I put my feet every turkey season, but most of the trips n the turkey woods I always seem to walk out with a lot of spring morels

Geo, I've never seen a coral snake in the wild. You weren't turning over logs looking for one when you saw it this year, were you? You are closer to the Florida line than I am which can make a difference as to populations I suppose although I am clearly in the range map's area which extends upwards through coastal plain of NC.

I caught one in southern Mississippi it was about as big around as your finger it's head was same size as its body and it was 12 to 14 inches long...pinned it's head down and picked it up. Can't recall the color lay out and later wondered if it was a common banded king snake ?
