Animal Kingdom- terrified of snakes...

[Lindaapple]

I am absolutely terrified of snakes and wondering which places/areas in Animal Kingdom that I should avoid. Thanks so much for help!!

 

[mister morrow]

correct me if i am wrong, but i believe the only place in animal kingdom that has snakes is rafiki's planet watch!

Also there's a display area with some snakes in gorilla falls trail, it's easy to avoid, just walk straight through it

Just a heads up, Florida has a lot of snakes in their natural habitat, I have seen snakes at all parks and also the walk way between Grand Floridian and Polynesian. All of them have been the black garden snake that is not venomous

Snakes are easier to avoid than birds.

Just saying...

And maybe one or two (hundred) in the trees and bushes. LOL But that is everywhere in Florida. You don't usually see them, but you never know.

I met a CM once who brought out a snake in a container to show and answer questions. It was very cool. It was in an area just past the front gate

I really wouldn't worry about it! We all have stories of seeing snakes different places, but there aren't any reptile houses or exhibits with big boa constrictors or anything like that.

I think Rafiki's Planet watch is the only exception.

I have a snake phobia. I have easily avoided seeing snakes at AK. (Have also been lucky to never see one in the wild in Disney parks too). My daughter has a bird phobia. That is a much bigger issue than my snake one

Avoid the entire state of Florida. There are snakes everywhere here.


Here is a video from a month ago with a free roaming snake at the entrance to the Magic Kingdom.

Warning, snake in video.

You're in good company:

Oh God....glad I didn’t see a post like this until I returned from Disney. I never saw a snake there, but I have to say it crossed my mind, particularly in AK. If I saw one, I would never return, even though logically I know that they have to be there.

The slithering creeps me out. Ugh.

Didn't someone post a picture of a snake hanging in their shower a few years back? I forget what resort they were at.

Funny... about a month ago I posted on here asking where we could see snakes at AK because my son wants to see some at AK!

It’s something primal for a lot of people. Evil snakes have been feared and vilified since Biblical times. Wasn’t it a serpent who offered Eve an apple?

Snakes are more shy than birds. They hide in grass, plants, sticks, etc. If you don’t poke around too much in places say like, your toddler’s Fisher Price plastic grill, you may not encounter any.

However, birds are everywhere 24/7. You just hope to never have a physical encounter with one.

Speaking of which, who else saw the photos of that high school kid being taken down by a Canada goose on a golf course?

Because they're scary.
