For those saying that rats are everywhere, I'm telling you that I lived in a very big city and only saw a rat once along a road by the Delaware River. I pray that I never see one around here. Snakes could make me consider selling my beautiful new patio villa. For those considering a purchase don't let some of the comments frighten you; it sounds like some major exaggeration.

Rats are everywhere that there are people. Makes no difference what socio-economic area; there are rats living close by. The Florida climate also makes it perfect for snakes. Fortunately, most of the snakes around The Villages are harmless to people but there are some rattlesnakes, moccasins, and coral snakes in the brushy and weedy areas. Just stay out of those areas and you probably never will see one.
There have been sightings in nearby areas by Ocala of Nile Monitor Lizards (up to 3' long) which are very dangerous to small animals and will bite humans. Hopefully, those will not get introduced to The Villages area where they could be a disaster.
