Florida Snakes

Florida is home to more snake species than most other states in the U.S. With over 50 species, Florida offers a warm climate for snakes and other reptiles to habitat.

The most commonly seen snakes in Florida are the non-poisonous snakes that you will see around your house and in your gardens.

The biggest concern for Floridians with snakes is if a snake they see is dangerous and poisonous. The poisonous snakes in Florida include:

• Eastern Coral Snake
• Cottonmouth
• Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake
• Pigmy Rattlesnake
• Timber Rattlesnake
• Copperhead aka Water Moccasin

There are also invasive snake species that are growing in Florida with people releasing their pets and these include the reticulated python and the green anaconda.
