Dancing with the gators

At least you didn't have to worry about leaches and venomous snakes...

I hate leeches!!

There are poisonous snakes in Florida. Cottonmouth, aka Water Moccasin, is a pit viper (without a rattle) which enjoys being in the water and scares me when wading in dark muck. There are also three species of rattlesnakes/

There is a vast difference between developed Florida, which is miles and miles of strip malls and gated communities, and the wild areas that remain.
