Florida has the Python issue.
here in south Louisiana we got the trifecta of pit vipers to worry about.

Rattlesnakes. kinda rare (I've killed 2, seen maybe half a dozen)

Copperheads. a little more common but mostly keep to them selves. killed several.

Water Moccasins. we got the mother load of these evil bastards. they are the true assholes of the animal kingdom. ALWAYS in a foul mood. I've probably killed over 100 and would happily off a thousand more.

The @Fungo Squiggly 's of the animal world. Go figure.
Any chance you can head up to Grove City and take care of this one, Nutria?

out in the woods/marsh, this is a much more intimidating sight than a picture portrays.
sneak up on one of these bitches and they are cocked with mouth open ready to fire it will make your heart skip a beat.

it's not so bad if you see them before they see you.

rattlers you can typically hear before you get too close.

water moccasins don't even try to hide usually so you can normally spot them and get a couple rounds off before you get too damn close.

copperheads blend in REALLY well with their surroundings, so you end up right on top of them before you even know they there.
had one strike my steel toe one day before I ever saw it. pretty fortunate for me, because i'm typically barefoot around the house and that would have been a bad situation.
snake died of boot to the skull disease.

Add that to the long list of reasons why I'd rather live in Ohio. We come across the occasional black snake, water snake, and garter snake, but have never come across anything worse than that.

y'all prolly got copperheads and maybe rattlers.
maybe not an abundance of them, but i would think copperheads would do well down by that river on your southern border if there is any wooded areas in that region.

water moccasins i would guess don't venture that far north. they like it wet and warm.
