Abstract:

Seven species of poisonous snakes inhabit North Carolina. These divide into two groups: the coral snake, which is a group of one, and pit vipers, which include the copperhead, water moccasin, massasauga, and the pigmy, diamondback, timber, and canebrake rattlesnakes. Amundson briefly describes the snakes and discusses their habits.
