Crazy Ass woman right here !!!

Clarification...I have a believable claim to cottonmouth sightings in Carroll County. Sightings up the west side of the state have been quite somewhere between rare and nonexistent for decades. The range maps do still show Carroll in the range. South of Atlanta somewhere it stops and fans out to either side well away from metro Atlanta and fans out as it goes north shoving the range to mostly the far reaching borders as it goes north...kind of a V shaped void of cotton mouths up the middle. So by saying north of Macon/no cottons...I failed to mention the outskirting border counties. Still...populations in those areas that still exist (most have long since been wiped out) they are isolated and very thinly dispersed as compared to how readily found they are in South Ga/Northern Florida and other low land swampy areas of the south. If you are in Douglas, Fulton, Gwinnet, Dekalb, Pickens, Dawson, Gilmer, Fannin...whatever county Helen....heck...(North Ga Mtns)...Those are copperheads or watersnakes...not moccosins. I suspect there may be some in Coweta though I've never found any...One I personally authenticated turned up in Lagrange about 20 some odd years ago. It isn't that big of a deal though. BItes are rare and typically the person's fault for messing with them. You are far more likely to be killed by a donkey. Range maps are not often updated and data is seldom collected. Northern Pike are supposedly still in Lake Blue Ridge though one hasn't been caught since the 1920s.
 
Not sure exactly how that happens but death by donkey actually happens enough to warrant a statistic. One of my favorites...You are 10-15 times more likely to choke to death on the little plug in the back of a ball point pen than to die from a snake bite in the US.
