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.
Like other water snakes, the red belly is not a constrictor and is not venomous so, the fish and amphibians that make up its diet are all swallowed live. As all of Georgia's non-venomous snakes, the red bellied water snake is protected by law and may not be captured or killed.
