Notes_Norton Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I had to sweep a coral snake out of our living room. It cooperated. I have a 6' Coachwhip that lives under my house. It got in the porch one day, and it did not cooperate. Whatever way we wanted to guide it (the door) the snake went the opposite way. It was totally freaked of us. Eventually he went out.

Starise Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) As kids we swam in ponds with water moccasins in them. The water moccasins will mind their own business. They don't go on the offensive to get at you. The only way you might get bitten by one is if you accidentally step on it or are taunting it with a stick....oh and don't swim into a brood of their young. You're usually ok if you stay out in the deep water of the pond when swimming. Rattlesnakes are similar. They don't want to see you any more that you want to see them. Just don't step on one. That's usually a bad outcome. Edited May 24, 2019 by Starise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitflipper Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Just one of many reasons I live in the far north. Granted, up here we're missing out on many of the South's distinctive charms. Hookworm, killer bees, black widows, wild pigs, hurricanes and backwater sheriff's deputies. Good thing you folks have the music thing going for ya. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 In the desert we have lots of nasties but good extermination. Usually rattlers are not in most populated areas. I have yet to see a live scorpion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msmcleod Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Earlier this month we had a warning about adders around the Argyll & West Dumbartonshire area of Scotland. Obviously the cold doesn't bother them, although, to be honest, it's never really that cold here. They're protected though - so they can bite you, but you can't fight back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
