OMG! I'm going to have nightmares of snakes at WDW now! we are staying at VWL in Dec... I sure hope it's too cold for them then.
You're actually more likely to see snakes (and alligators) in cold weather than in warm weather. Reptiles are cold-blooded, and therefore they tend to lay out in the sun to warm up in cold weather. In hot weather, the 'gators will be in the water and most snakes will be in the shade or in water.OMG! I'm going to have nightmares of snakes at WDW now! we are staying at VWL in Dec...

I've seen a lot of rat snakes at the resorts. They are good snakes.
Just another reminder ---- don't EVER stick your hand into the bushes in Florida. You just never know what's in there!
No. It's just a name.So I guess the next question is... does the presence of lots of rat snakes mean lots of rats at WDW?
You know, you laugh...but those darn Disney imagineers do present some problems for us at Everglades National Park!It just amazes me how good those new Disney animatronics have become. I mean those snakes looked real to me.

Ditto, but we were at Typhoon Lagoon!

Just had a lady in FL get bit by a pigmy rattler working in her flower garden. We've had 2 pigmy rattler bites in Wal Mart in town in the garden section the last few years, plus I had one of my teenage pts bit by a rattle snake 2 years ago. So it does happen, one should be careful and look where you're walking.
Pygmys are one of the snakes that will NOT flee. They stand their ground and will bite if they feel threatened. However, they have an amazing tolerance for people standing right next to them. I've personally witnessed two situations where someone was standing literally within inches and did not get bitten (including a ranger who stood there for a good 10 minutes giving a talk before any of us saw the snake).Just had a lady in FL get bit by a pigmy rattler working in her flower garden.

Yeah...if I'm 100% positive of it's species, I leave it alone.And if you see a snake and are not 100% positive you know its species...leave it alone!
I dont mean to sound rude, but Welcome to Florida! The state of snakes, alligators, and bugs.
Actually I'd be a lot more worried about the ducks we saw swimming in SAB a couple of weeks ago than a snake. Ducks are filthy!A couple of years ago DH and I were walking past the BCV pool toward our room one evening when terrified screams errupted from the pool. We thought someone had gotten hurt! Turns out there was a small rat snake who had decided to take a swim.
