Above is a photo of a Copperhead snake. Notice the brown body and the "hour-glass" or "saddle" patterns on its back. This snake is found throughout the greater Atlanta area (uncommon though) and is venomous. Adults may reach lengths of 2-3 feet. This snake feeds on mice, lizards, rodents, snakes, amphibians, insects, and birds. Snake problems in Georgia?
