According to a study conducted by the University of Florida there are six states in the United States with the most snakes. These states are Texas Florida Louisiana Mississippi Alabama and Georgia. The study found that these six states have the highest numbers of native snake species as well as the highest number of venomous snake species.
Texas is home to the most snakes of any state with a total of 125 species. This is more than twice the number of snake species found in Florida which is second on the list with 58 species. Louisiana Mississippi Alabama and Georgia round out the top six with 50 47 46 and 45 species respectively.
The study also found that these six states have the highest number of venomous snake species. Texas is home to the most venomous snakes with a total of 34 species. Florida is second on the list with 28 species followed by Louisiana with 20 Mississippi with 19 Alabama with 18 and Georgia with 17.
There are a number of reasons why these six states have the most snakes. One reason is that they have a large amount of suitable habitat for snakes. Another reason is that they have a warm climate which is ideal for snakes. Finally these states also have a high human population density which means that there are more opportunities for snakes to come into contact with people.
