Stay out of march areas and high grass with your dog would be my advice for avoiding snakes. I ran into a snake at the Doggie Doo Run Run yesterday but it was just a common garter snake. My dog looked at it, sniffed from a few feet away, and then lost interest. There have been black racers at Doggie Doo Run Run and on occasion a water moccasin will come up from the wet lands on the golf course that borders this private dog park. So you do have to keep your eyes open anywhere in the Villages.
