Do moccasins live in New Hampshire?

Answer 1

Yes, eastern hognose snakes, commonly referred to as moccasins, can be found in New Hampshire, particularly in sandy or loose soil areas where they can burrow. However, it's important to note that the term "moccasin" often refers to the water moccasin, or cottonmouth, which is primarily found in the southeastern United States and does not inhabit New Hampshire. Instead, New Hampshire is home to other snake species that might be colloquially referred to as moccasins, but they are not the same as the water moccasin.
