WOAH!!!thats crazy. 87 rattlesnakes? no thanks, i’ll have to pass on that. :lol:
“But he better keep a runnin and don’t stand still,
If the skeeters dont a get him then the gaters will’
Runnin like a dog through the Everglades”
The Everly Brothers didn’t say anything about Eastern Diamondbacks,
Nasty, nasty snake
By the way, I like Florida’
Just another weakness I guess,
Snook, Reds, Tarpon, Bones, Permit, Jack Cravelle, Tarpon, Bass, Breem, Bikinni’s
Should I continue?
Bobinmich - also in Florida
never been there and just found 88 more reasons not not to go there :shock: :shock:
You guys are right. Don’t come! There’s no place to fish and deadly reptiles around every corner. 8)
What Dun said!
I visited Disneyworld a few yrs ago to walk the marathon. Not one time did a alligator or rattler chase me.
The rattlesnakes obviously didn’t bother me because they were all in that PIPE!!! :shock:
Visited St. Augustine, a historic city. Tallahassee was my favorite city that we visited. I didn’t see any gators or snakes in either place! 
Who was that member of the BB that was asking us whether it would be safe to fish with the gators if he visited them in his float tube?? What if one of those rattlers snuggled up in his lap while he is fishing?? 
Also a 15 ft python wouldn’t be a picnic either!

P.S. dunfly, that’s a interesting thing to say! That’s sort of what Gnu Bee Flyer was saying about B.C. and Betty about S.D.!!! What a coincidence!
Boy! That’s some good eating!
Robert,
I’m sorry I forgot your name! You get first dibs on the snakes and seconds also! :lol:
Doug,
Yep. Gator tail and snake meat. Rattlesnake round up time. I wasn’t really asking anything in that earlier post. I was thinking about float tubing like Jack Ellis does in Texas but that was before I found out that one of the gators on that particular “public” pond was a fed gator. Gators naturally don’t like confronting people any more than people like confronting gators but fed gators are unnatural like fed bears are unnatural. BTW, rattlesnakes don’t like to swim unless they have to, unlike moccasins and cottonmouths.
It’s a hoot to swim with 'gators! Used to run down to a lake down in the Ocala area. “Most” of them would just go the other way. Guess they were looking for yankees :lol:

Problem with chicken-fried rattlesnake is that it tends to be a bit too chewy. I’ve heard the same about 'gator tail. Of course, it could all be in who’s doing the cooking.
Ohiotuber, do you have a recipe for diamondback fudge?
I guess that nobody should mention that copperheads and rattlesnakes den up in groups of a few dozen to a couple of thousand for the winter. That’s why we’re planning on having the Tennessee in May, when they’ll be more dispersed… 8)
Hmmmm… you know, maybe we should offer a winter fish-in, for the Yankees. Of course it might be too cold. There are some days in the winter that don’t hardly make it up to 50 (10 C). On rare occasions, it will stay below freezing all day, but those times are not all that common, around here.
That would probably be the least of your daily worries! Rattlers big enough to be seen or heard are easy. Pygmy rattlers are about the same color as mulch & just as annoying. Coral snakes look about like king snakes; red touch yellow, kill a fellow; gators are always fun & fast & can outrun a race horse in the first 30 feet; there’s also cottonmouths, brown recluse spiders, black widow spiders, way too many mosquitoes; clouds of no-see-ums; if the insects & critters don’t have stingers, pinchers or claws there’s a toxic slime, lots of the plants will draw blood, most of the saltwater fish have teeth, stingrays in the surf & so many more dangerous marine animals that fill books with descriptions & medical treatments that end up being just for some easy reading ! :lol:
Forgot to add the 20-feet long, 200-pound pythons that are eating their way thru the 'glades & the scientists that are catalogging the python prey. “Invasion of the Bobcat Snatchers” has a nice, weird ring for a book :lol: Editorial Page article on Day of the python from the July 30,2007 http://www.heraldtribune.com 8)
I’m slowwwwly! beginning to understand WHY people move to Florida! They all like gators and snakes more than cats and dogs!
Doug (and Bobcats)
As I said,
Snook, Reds, Tarpon, Bones, Permit, Jack Cravelle, Tarpon, Bass, Breem, Bikinni’s
Should I continue? You notice I put Tarpon twice?

It’s a hoax: http://www.snopes.com/photos/animals/culvert.asp
Yep, terrible place it is. All the ponds are fished out or covered with green slime. Gators are in every drainage ditch you see. Snakes climb up your wall trying to get into the house. If y’all want to go see the talking mouse you should go to his original house in Ca. This one here is just a knock off. Save your self and your family. Go to Branson instead.
