There are numerous Pygmy Rattlesnakes in this area. They are found mostly in the tall grasses on golf courses or alongside trails by conservation areas. They are only about 18" but still pretty venomous - especially to animals like dogs who sniff at them and get bitten in the face.
Watch out also for fire ants. Their mounds pop up very quickly and they can really be painful!
