I’ve seen plenty of snakes. Mostly small garden snakes though. You will run into cottonmouths along the bayous or if you venture into other wetland areas.
Yes, Im sure there are snakes. Just havent’ seen any. I moved here from Anaheim where I had a raccoon literally staring into my bedroom window (upstairs) one night. Very curious, and perhaps rabid. And Im reading wild boars are chasing people in New York. I suppose Australia is the scariest place though for critters, snakes, bugs, spiders, etc.
