CAMPING & SNAKES - How to keep safe.
Snakes scare me - yes, I will admit such. But a brown recluse spider who has a mosquito in his mouth that is infected with the West Nile Virus, who has a tick on his back who is infested with Lyme disease could light on my arm and I wouldn't flinch.
But even the wiggle of a harmless green grass snake sends me into shudders and in dire need of trusty-undergarments, which by the way, don't look so lovely when worn under a thong...

Whether it goes back to religious upbringing, or the Shark-Snake Syndrome, snakes still scare me. But without snakes, our world would be overrun with vermin and snipes.
Nonetheless, when out and about in The Great Outdoors, here are the types of poisonous snakes that live in the following terrains of the greater United States:
- Wet & Marshy: Generally
moccasins; may be called water moccasins or cottonmouths due
to the white interior of the mouth.
- Sandy Loam: Rattlesnakes
- Woods: The timber rattlesnake; copperheads and coral snakes.
- Rocks & Cliffs: Rattlesnakes
- Hot Tubs: Generally American Anaconda Males
