Florida’s Venomous Snakes

In Florida state, there are six venomous snakes to be feared and watchful about. There are more than fifty unique and diverse species of snake that reside in Florida State, however only six of them are dangerous to be near.

Florida’s venomous snakes are fearful and deadly to humans, you should know the difference between harmless and deadly snakes, but one problem is being able to tell them apart, especially as some look very similar. Never approach a snake, especially if you are unsure about the species. Even snakes that have just died can still have a venomous bite due to reflexes and muscle twitches. The large majority of snakes in Florida sense human activity and flee when people come near;  however on rare occasions when snakes feel threatened or become cornered, can quickly become hostile.
