True. Thankfully no Sidewinders or Black Mambas in Florida.

I've always been a guy who loves nature and nature photography, and find the reptiles of Florida fascinating. Not many reptiles in Minnesota where I hail from. Some nondescript snakes, turtles, skinks, the odd Rattlesnake down near the Iowa border. Not much more than that. But Florida has a wealth of them. I've photographed a few, not so easy as they're either not moving at all, or moving VERY quickly, and I like to get as close as possible.
