Sweetfeet, come on down! Just don't come in the summer (because of heat and humidity, not snakes.)
Here you learn to just use common sense and keep your eyes open, but it's not a really conscious thing. Snakes try to avoid us as we try to avoid them, and it works out pretty well. In my 71 years I have never seen a rattler in the wild, even dead in the road, but they are here. The cottonmouth my daughter killed last week was the first I'd seen in 20 years or so. Many years ago I'd occasionally come across a coral snake, but haven't even heard of one in a long time.
Copperheads are much more plentiful, and we see four or five a year on our 12 acres. I have known only one person who was bitten by one, though most of my dogs have been tagged at least once. They usually act like it's no big deal, though they do swell.
Nancy, whose place is about 50 miles northwest of mine, might tell you a different story, but I'm sure she'd also encourage you to come see the south.
