Default Venomous snakes

Yes there are some in Central Fl. Coral snakes , water moccasins or cottonmouths , Pygmy rattlesnakes are around . You don’t see them often but with all the building , they don’t know where to go . Coral snakes have been seen ( poem to help - red touch black , safe for Jack. Red touches yellow kills a fellow ) water moccasins are brown with a mixture of brown cross bands found in marshlands and wetlands . They contain enough venom to kill 5 people . Diamondback rattlesnakes is one of the biggest snakes ( 3-6 ft long) brown with diamond markings live in the woodlands , swamps and scrubland . Pygmy rattlesnake ( 12-24 in ) are gray with black blotches . Again, you find them swamps, near ponds and lakes . Bites are serious for children and animals.
These are the ones you have to worry about near here .
