Thanks, it's not all like that in my area, but pockets like this can be found if you know where to look.
In the UK our native venomous snake count is just the one, the adder - and they're not found in my area. But if they were it wouldn't be of much concern.....
https://www.aylesburyvaledc.gov.uk/s...ads/Snakes.pdfThey are the only venomous snake in the UK, but because the venom is designed to kill small animals like voles it is not particularly potent. You are more likely to be harmed by bees....
Thanks for the link, Bree. Interesting read.
Small snakes too. I had no idea.
One should exercise caution, when around creeks and in the woods here. I have encountered many, but only one seems to be remotely aggressive, or rather, inquisitive sometimes. It's the Cottonmouth, and it's best to allow them a wide berth.
Edited to add: The real heavy hitters in the South, are the Eastern Diamondbacks. Again, I have encountered many, but if one exercises caution, and is aware of their surroundings, they're really no threat. Still nothing to jack with however.

Nice woods Bree.
All the natural areas we drove by today are full of people.
My Mother says thankyou. I told her all my online friends wished her Happy Birthday.
Evening Keith. Well have a nice time tomorrow. Hope weather holds for you.
