OK Now I'm scared

[newtodis]

I would have been screaming bloody murder taking down small children and drowning the elderly as I ran out of the pool

Not only is this hillarious, but I would be doing the same thing!

There is no way that it is physically possible for a snake to more scared of me than I am of it!!!

I totally agree with this statement! DH tells me this all the time and I just laugh at him!

Good Lord! If there's a snake in my room he'd better be planning on splitting the bill with me.

If there are snakes may be she? Anyway that would be so cool finding a snake, nothing that interesting happens to me.

My friend's daughter was bitten by a snake at CBR a couple of years ago!! She had to spend 2 days in the hospital.
Do NOT walk or allow your children to walk or play in the flower beds. Pygmy rattle snakes love to hide in the mulch!!! Stay on the sidewalks!!!!

A snake in a hotel room doesn't bother me too much because I figure it must be pretty rare. Besides, we have found snakes in our house twice now. Freaked me out to high heaven the first time (second time it was dead), but it turned out to be a harmless snake. I've also found out how to tell the poisonous ones from the simple eat the mice ones (triangular mouths). Still bugs me two years later though that we can't figure out how it got in the house...

However, we're staying in the Fort Wilderness Cabins next week. I'm not that at ease with snakes.

You see this is why I really FEAR snakes . God Forbid my daughter was ever bitten by one!! She has soooo many other medical problems I'm afraid what would happen..... As long as the snakes hide in the mulch then we will be ok, it's not like I'm going to push my daughters wheelchair into the flower beds

We saw a snake at SOG. A groundskeeper was riding in a golf cart and had the snake hanging off a sort of garden "picker upper" appliance (don't know what it's called or a better way to describe! ) It was about 2 feet long. Also on a post somewhere on these boards I read where a guest saw a snake go under a guest's room door at the BC on an upper floor! You would have to convince me to stay in a room where a snake had taken up residence! Not that this happened in WDW but it happened right before my last trip to WDW (Sept. '08)- I was "struck" by a snake on the Appalachian Trail by my house, while walking on a wooden bridge. What the snake was doing "on" the bridge is beyond me, but he did not like me! CL staff affectionately called me "snake-bit"; they got a very big laugh at my story! Which included pictures!!!!

You should have seen me, especially when it was ~4 feet long. We don't even live next to a reserve, near water nor have huge amounts of flowerbeds. I know there is a snake (or more ) living under our deck. I occasionally find snake skins.

Well down here we eat 'em. Yummy.

But seriously, DW just saw this and basically dialed CRO and demanded that I make a room "demand" (not a request) that we be on any floor EXCEPT the ground floor.

You know when we get there we're gonna be put on the ground floor and DW will end up sleeping in a hammock.

Ahhhhh TEXAS has a lot of critters that would cause me to
I'm up in Cold Buffalo but believe it or not there was a garter snake in my yard... I thought these things hate the cold why haven't they packed up and moved to a warmer climate ?????

 

[portocall]

Florida is full of snakes, mostly harmless. We had a black snake living in our garage for years. They are protected in Fl so you can't harm them (the indigo type, not the garter).

The flower bed part is true, when I was 9 or 10, we settled in to watch the electrical parade and we kept hearing a rattle. We thought is was a baby playing at first, but then my mom saw the rattle snake in the bed behind me and he wasn't happy. That was the first and last time I saw a parade at the MK... The CM's relocated him, but wildlife is bound to show up from time to time.

I understand that fear of snakes is very real, and very difficult for some people.

But for pete's sake, folks, there seems to be an awful lot of panic over events that aren't just rare, they're extraordinarily rare. Honestly, there's about as much chance of winning the lottery as there is of finding a snake nest in your room, or having a snake crawl under your door in an upper-floor room. THESE ARE NOT COMMON OCCURRENCES!!!! I've made over 20 trips to WDW. I have never, not once, seen a single snake outdoors, let alone inside a building.

To the OP: Yes, there is a tiny, miniscule, microscopic possibility that a snake may find its way into your room if you have a first floor room. The higher you go, the smaller the possibility that this will happen. All you need to do is request a room on the top floor.
