They probably didn't have a serious problem with rats or mice either.

I was born and raised in Louisiana, and lived in South Louisiana for the most part of my youth. I am used to seeing snakes coiled around trees overhead and swimming in the water.

Yall have never lived in fear until you have actually touched a snake.

I was walking along some creasole timbers when I stepped between them. I felt IT under my bare foot. It must be a primal instinct to just KNOW what it is and jump into the air. I did.

It was a big water moccasin.

That was a big mocassin.

It looked even bigger when it escaped the shovel pinching it's head to the ground!
