1. Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake. The Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake is the most dangerous snake in Georgia, has no natural enemies and is at the top of the food chain. It is normally found in south Georgia, although there have been a few sightings in Middle Georgia.
It hunts at night and kills its prey with a potent neurotoxin venom. This venom is the most toxic venom produced by any of North Carolina's venomous snakes, but since Coral snakes are secretive, people seldom encounter one. The other species of venomous snakes are known as pit vipers. The five North Carolina pit vipers include two moccasins (the copperhead and cottonmouth) and three rattlesnakes.
