Georgia is home to several venomous snakes, including the Copperhead, Cottonmouth, Eastern Diamondback, Rattlesnake, and Eastern Coral Snake.

Finch says it is the third known death in Missouri by the bite of a copperhead. The others were in the 1960s and in 2012. Finch says Levins was at a cabin, saw the snake and pointed it out to his son.
