5. Georgia
Georgia’s diverse landscape, which includes mountains, forests, and wetlands, is home to 46 snake species, including two threatened species: the eastern indigo snake and the southern hognose snake. Snakes are common across Georgia, even in urban and suburban areas. As human populations expand into snake habitats, encounters between humans and snakes have increased. However, these encounters are relatively infrequent. Snakes in Georgia play essential roles in controlling pest populations and serve as bioindicators, helping assess the health of ecosystems.
