Snakes in Your Home? What You Need to Know | Augusta Georgia News

Snakes are showing up more often in homes and neighborhoods as summer ends — it’s not an invasion, but baby snakes hatching and exploring. They’re not looking for trouble, just food, water, and shelter. If one slips inside, it’s usually by accident — chasing heat, cold, or a scent trail. Buildings aren’t their long-term home, but repeated sightings may signal structural issues. Georgia has 47 native snake species, 7 venomous — if you spot one indoors, stay calm and keep your distance. Safety first: don’t try to handle or identify it if you’re unsure. Let them do their thing — they’re just trying to survive. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
