Rattlesnakes

[dc1964]

My dw has just seen a message from a facebook friend that she found a baby rattlesnake round their pool at the house on Highland reserve, someone came and collected it and took it to a conservation area for release.
Just thought it would be an interesesting find and also a bit of a heads up for those going with young kids.

Stayed in villas for years and have never ever seen one.

I did run over a snake years ago whilst driving from Miami to Naples, so Julie says anyway - I was the driver but never saw it!

We have seen snakes every time we have been to typhoon lagoon. To be honest you should expect to see them as there is lot's of water around. They are no dangerous though i can see how they can startly someone.

We seen one whilst on the creek, needless to say it put me off going back all trip!

Also seen quite a few at Kennedy Space Center, i was too scared to get off the bus to use the toilet. These were no babies

Disney are very good with matters like this. The creek was closed until the snake was found

we opened the door of our villa one morning to see a rather large snake, sil and i locked the men out and let them deal with it

i think the alligators keep most of the venomous snakes from the villas

Only snake I have seen is at MK, going round on the train. It was only a small one. Matt is terrified of snakes, we saw a plastic one in Celebration car park at Xmas, took him about an hour to calm down. Funny for us, not for him.

We saw a black racer snake as we left Epcot once. It was on the path on the way to the bus stops.

It was about 3 feet long.

Racers are harmless though.

Been reading this site, http://www.floridabackyardsnakes.com/
says there are about 45 species of snakes only 6 venomous, I doubt many of us would hang around long enough to identify one.

yeah - that is why it is important to stay on paths.

With Florida's tropical climate I think snakes and the like are pretty much inevitable, they were there before the mouse was! With that said I tend to avoid walking on grass when I can (biting insects often lurk there and i'm a wuss!)

they were there before the mouse was!

Or did they all arrive when they found out there was a big mouse running around the place?
