Just google "Florida venomous snakes" and look at the list and pictures from the state and university websites.

Here in The Villages, there are quite a few pygmy rattlesnakes that are found in the tall grasses around the ponds. They are venomous but will not kill a human. Dogs have been killed by them. You may also find water moccasins in or by the water.

Do not go into those tall grasses and you probably will never see a venomous snake.
