Snakes

[Woody13]

You are so full of it - WDW is not crawling with a high population of rattlesnakes... puhleaze...

Diamondbacks are often found in pine flatwoods, longleaf pine and turkey oak and sand pine scrub areas. These habitats contain palmetto thickets and gopher tortoise burrows in which the diamondback may seek refuge. Humans have invaded many of Florida’s pine flatwoods and scrub areas which now contain farms, homes and shopping plazas. As a result, the displaced diamondbacks may turn up in backyards, golf courses, and even parking lots.

One of the really great things about WDW is that they have a huge amount of undeveloped property. The Disney Company has placed permanent conservation easements on 7,500 acres of WDW property, guaranteeing that this land will remain in its natural state. This large and relatively intact landscape is remarkable for its habitat diversity (including pine flatwoods, oak scrub, and wetlands) and wildlife.

In short, Everglades National Park and WDW are the two areas of Florida with the highest populations of snakes and other wildlife. Also, please note, that's a good thing!

what i dont like is the WDRR where it goes past the "pocahontas" area, you see a swamp and the whole thing freaks me out !!!!!! i just dont like it, i would rather walk through the park than take that from frontier land but i do take it to splash mountain when i enter the park coz if i get wet (which is likely) i can dry off throughout the day.

HISTA when i was little my family and me went on it -not knowing what to expect-and when the mice came me and my mum where kicking our feet in the air and i was screaming so loud - it scared the crap out of me- she grabbed my arm and pulled me past people and the CM at the exit door said we couldnt leave but my mum just opened the door and pulled me out. i stay well clear of that ride!
