Elongated, limbless reptiles. Most live on the ground, but some are burrowers. Also it is not uncommon to find them in attics as well as basements and crawl spaces. Some snakes are also aquatic, one group exclusively marine (Water Moccasin). In temperate climates they hibernate. They are mainly solitary in their habits, although they may congregate in places offering food (rats & other rodents) or shelter, and large numbers may hibernate together. Wild snakes in Georgia range in length from 4 inches to over 15 feet.
