How to Identify Snakes in Tennessee?
Tennessee is home to 34 different species of snakes, and of those 34, only 7 of them are most commonly spotted. Thankfully, most of our state's snakes are non-venomous. However, there are 4 different species of venomous snakes that can be found: the Copperhead, Timber Rattlesnake, Western Cottonmouth, and the Pygmy Rattlesnake. Snakes have no eyelids, which prevents them from being able to close their eyes. Instead, they have clear scales to cover and protect their eyes. Snakes also have no external ears.
What Are the Problems & Damage Caused by Snake?
Snakes generally try and avoid contact with humans, and are not known to damage home or building structures. However, snakes can attract other predator animals to the area such as foxes or raccoons. During shedding certain species of snakes can become aggressive, making it important to contact a professional for proper identification and removal. The most common snakes in Tennessee are nonvenomous but any bites from a snake should treated immediately by a medical professional.
