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.
Two poisonous spiders found in Georgia are the southern black widow and the brown recluse spider. A red hourglass on the belly marks mature black widow females. They hide in the daytime but are easily identified as they hang upside down in the web at night.
