Between the 6’s we backed to a pond, our snakes were predominantly racers, along with bears, coyotes, bobcats gators and one panther.
We moved south of 44 two years ago backing to a prairie. A few rattlesnakes have been spotted within the village and two Corals. Someone will always post on neighborhood site, where and when.
After Milton the walking paths that border acres of prairies, between Water Lilly and Magnolia Plaza were flooded. Multiple water moccasins were noted and warnings went out to be aware.

My grandparents lived on a 23 acre farm near Binghamton, New York. My grandmother never walked up to the barn or the spring without a shovel in her hand to decapitate any rattler she might see. She might only get a couple a year, but she was never bitten. If I walk on trails around here, I always carry a walking stick. I might not beat a water moccasin to death with it, but I can at least urge it away from the path so people can walk by.
