All of the wildlife around here is pretty fearless. I attribute it to the bubble. Even when walking my dog, the squirrels practically come up to investigate sometimes, like they think I've got something to eat.
And one time I had a black snake actually chase me. I was holding the lanai door open for my dog, and there was a sudden commotion in the bushes, and a bunch of birds flew out. A couple of seconds later, this big black snake slithered out, looking all cocky. He turned his head and saw me, and instead of running away, he ran TOWARD me! I was so surprised, I jumped back and slammed the door in his face. Weird!

When we first moved to Florida someone told me that they are more afraid of us than we are of them. NOT true. We once lived in a rental that had a small patio off of the living room. One day there were numerous snakes out there basking in the sun. I once walked out onto that patio while they were on the other end of the patio. I thought they would run the other way. They don't. They aren't afraid at all. And some of them, like the one you encountered will chase a person. It's unnerving.
