Quoted:
Red Rat Snake (AKA Corn Snake) - non venomous What he said! I see those snakes every day or two. They're generally easy to get along with, and cause no harm. ETA: they certainly do get your heart rate up, though, don't they? They look just enough like a copperhead to freak me out every time I see them. |

Agreed, there are usually two of them so if you spot one, look around for a second. They won't mess with you, just don't step on them. Picking them up should be left to someone with experience. |

Well, lets hope you don't pick up any bushmaster snakes in Jacksonville (although I bet if you look around the everglades long enough you could find one) Quoted:

Don't get me started... Everyone I catch tags me a few times before I release them... Well, lets hope you don't pick up any bushmaster snakes in Jacksonville (although I bet if you look around the everglades long enough you could find one) Everything lives down there!!!
