I know snakes and I saw a 7 foot Eastern Diamondback killed in Randolph Co, north of the lake. There are quite a few true eastern diamondbacks in Randolph Co. Sometimes you'll find the FLA diamonback in south Alabama and it gets confused with the eastern.
The timber rattlers are there, too, but they smell different.
They're just trying to eake out a living, so they'll naturally come in close contact with people who are in their habitat.
I've only seen one cottonmouth up here in middle Tennessee, but copperheads are everywhere. And they can't rattle. Don't forget that you probably won't see a copperhead in a few more weeks when the leaves fall.

Keep the grass mowed and the place cleaned up. There won't be any food for the rattlers and they'll go where there is food. But those cottonmouths just seem to show up everywhere, though. I guess they're more curious about things.
