i can deal with the hila monsters, gekkos, scorpions, palmmetto bugs, misquitos, bobcats, boars,deer even packs of wild dogs,toads,frogs(tree frogs are the koolest) saquadas,aints, but i hate a snake. i know they are good for the garden and they get rid of mice...so do my cats. i dont like snakes. uhhhh. ive seen wild turkeys, have a deer that eats my hybred daylilies( till i planted daffies around them). then like a idiot, i walk up to the deer calling out to it come here with my hand out to pet it, suddenly relizing one good kick and im history. so i backed away slowly!!! even grandpa opposum who ate my cats food till i put it on a concrete wall, dogs in my yard...but i dont like snakes! we have a red tail hawk that lives in my hood( hes beautiful) and turkey buzzards these things dont bother me. a snake sneaks up on you and then jumps out and says im here i want to bite you! i had a very tramatic experience as a small child. i may not get to kill the snake but i dont go anywhere in my yard without the company of my shovel.
. i have yet to see a bear in person but im not to sure i be scared of that. might be paralized with fear, but i dont think id be scared. lol!
