Conclusion
These are the most common venomous snakes found in the Southeastern region of the United States. It is never safe to approach these snakes in the wild. I would suggest a visit to the zoo, or another retile exhibit if an up-close view is desired. Snakes can be our friend if we respect their habitats. Watch out for the cottonmouth, the copperhead, the coral, and the rattlesnake in the wild.
