Well...in my opinion...you should be terrified!

That type of black snake has the capacity to unhinge its jaws and spread its mouth very far open. There have been reports that such snakes have bitten off a leg of a person owning a cat. Evidently, the snake prefers the taste of human meat to that of cat meat. However, in the interest of accuracy, such snakes typically only bite off toes...so beware of wearing open toed shoes!

So...yeah...be very very frightened!!!

To overcome such fear, you could go to your local library and reviw a book on snakes and reptiles found in Florida!
