I am not going to worry about them or the spiders - just going to be a bit more cautious.

Pygmy rattlesnakes are venomous and they do like the weeds and high grasses. A couple years ago a guy at The Plantation in a group in front of us was bit by one as he was getting a golf ball out of the weeds. He spent the night in The Leesburg Hospital. Forget the golf ball in the high grasses---not worth it! Any wild animal can be dangerous----Coyote especially.
