Alabama is home to 6 venomous snakes. All of which, except one, belong to the pit viper family. These snakes posses incredibly dangerous venom but will almost always prefer to avoid humans rather than attack one. It is not recommended that you get close to a snake in order to determine whether or not a snake is venomous. If there is any doubt, please call a pest control expert.
