Snakes found in North Carolina

North Carolina has the most venomous snake bites of any state in the U.S., according to the North Carolina Cooperative Extension.
The Copperhead is a stout-bodied snake that feeds on cicadas, caterpillars, mice, birds, frogs and lizards. It prefers to live in wooded areas, among rocks, or near streams or ponds because prey are more plentiful in such locations. (Information from North Carolina Cooperative Extension)
