You will find water moccasins infrequently - LEAVE THEM ALONE!

You will also find Pygmy Rattlesnakes in the tall grasses. They are capable of biting and producing a very nasty and very painful wound that takes a long time to heal. LEAVE THEM ALONE!

Do not kill any snake. Best idea with ANY snake is to leave it alone - unless it is in your house or garage.
