(Greensboro, Summerfield: condo, neighborhoods, most dangerous) Are there many snakes in North Carolina? My fiance and I are moving to Greensboro area and I do not like the idea of snakes at all and have been told they can be found in and around your apartment building. Is this true? |

Yes, I'm near Charlotte NC. I've see black racers and black rat snakes a couple times a year and they are harmless....actually good to have around. I've been here 17 years and have seen only one diamond back and one copper head that I killed with a shovel. They are more afraid of you. Don't go hiking and sit on rocks, be aware. I did hear there were a few baby copperheads in the landscaping in a neighborhood not far from where I live and like you, it gave me the creeps. I was more aware when I was gardening. I'm from the north and wasn't used to it when I first moved here. But a few snakes won't get me to move from this beautiful area. 3 hours from the ocean, 2 hours to the mountains. Welcome!! |
