Rat snake is a bigger worry, like the yellow. Hunts during the day too.
Pygmy rattlers are a pain to people. Stupid things were all over the panhandle and only the size of a pencil.
At least the giant diamond backs, as seen above, were easy to spot. Water mocks ended up in the flipping swimming pool. then there were the bears everywhere, armadillos, raccoons, possums, scorpions, lizards, eagles, ospreys, hawks,... and the roaming gators.
Chicken paradise!
x2 You forgot the canebrake rattlers lol!
