Description: There are a lot of things that can kill you in the state of Florida, at the very bottom of the list are snakes. We have around 50 different kinds of snakes and 6 of those are the most poisonous vipers in the U.S. But we aren't the worst, Texas has about 105 kinds of snakes and 15 of them are deadly, so... There is the Copperhead Water Moccasin. A meat-eating super territorial creature, but not as ornery as his cousin, the Cottonmouth. Both can be found around swamps, marshes, swimming pools, ponds... You get the point, but the Cottonmouth will actually come scooting up the bank and after you super fast if you are not careful, and get near his nest. Do not let anyone tell you any different, I have seen this with my own eyes on two different occasions. We have the Coral Snake. A nasty little cobra-like snake who comes with its own little morbid nursery rhyme. "Red on yella, you're dead fella. Red on black, you're alright Jack." Just say that the whole time your in the woods... ;-)For real though, I have never seen a Coral Snake in my whole born and raised life here in Florida and I have spent a lot of time in these woods, I grew up in them. So that means, these snakes don't want to be seen, you probably won't see one either. Still, err on the side of caution, look at that tree before you go to lean or put your hands on it. Then... The Granddaddy of them all, Old man Rattlesnake. We have 3 different kinds but I tend to refer to the biggest of them all, the Eastern Diamondback, as the Old Man. He is the heavyweight of the snake world of the U.S. and I've seen quite a few of these. They are something to behold. I saw one stretched out across a two-car driveway at Summer Haven. It was about 10ft long and as big around as a lamppost. I watched another stand up and dance beside the road, and still another, become victim to my Grandfather. That one was as big as his Dodge Ram pickup truck. Those old rattlers are everywhere and are a sign of a healthy ecology. Besides the Diamondback, we have the Cane-break or Timber Rattlesnake, one that rarely pokes his head out but will; And the Pygmy. A tiny version of the Diamondback and just as dangerous. They can kill a large dog with a well-placed bite, and you really can't see them along the ground unless they move. Usually to skitter off through the bushes, but once again, if you step on me man... On the other hand, we also have two non-venomous snakes that actually seek and destroy the poisonous ones. The Indigo and King Snakes like to fight and devour Rattlesnakes. Makes for a really neat nature show as well... Just sayin. With all this said, don't kill snakes. Just walk away if you can. THESE ARE NOT LIVE SNAKE EGGS OF ANY KIND!!!
