Snakes Day - Lake Winfield Scott

Event Details

Our native snakes have developed some impressive adaptations for surviving in the Appalachian Mountains! From the venomous Timber Rattlesnake to the non-venomous Eastern Rat Snake, all of our local Serpentes share the element of biodiversity, having adapted and diversified to the state’s 5 topographic regions. In fact, Georgia is home to over 45 native snakes! Don’t worry; only 6 of them are venomous, yet all are unique. Come learn about the curious world of these reptiles, such as why some have green-tipped tails when young, while others are only venomous to amphibians. You’ll even get to meet a few!

The program takes place on Thursday, July 9th, at 2:00 PM at Lake Winfield Scott Recreation Area.
