A coral snake can't strike, that the only good part.
When we first moved here, the neighbor showed us a rattlesnake he killed that was touching the front of his long bed truck and hanging off the back. Been a long time since I've even seen one here.
We used to have a pond. Once the sawgrass started to grow near a large rock on the edge, the cottonmouths decided it was a good place to nest. Once you see a snake trying to flex on a riding mower going past, you decide they need to go.
Maybe you can find the Continental tire kit that used to be on his 1986 Mustang that was painted garnet and gold. I know where the car is, but the tire kit is long gone.
I'm also near an old, old railroad siding that's long gone, a mile or so from a property that used to be Al Capone's tomato farm, and two miles from the site of the Battle of the Loxahatchee.
Every time there's any development near the Jupiter inlet, the entire site has to be gone over. Because of the Native American presence over thousands of years, but also because Ponce de Leon supposedly left a stone cross in the area.
And not in a retirement community. but she walked her dog a little too close to the water.
I remember when we first moved down here there was always a story about a poodle getting eaten.
