I’m lucky that my region has so few venomous snakes, so very rarely do I ever have to worry. I get to see rat snakes and big fat water snakes, and two kinds of garter snakes when I’m out on local trails. They’re usually sunning themselves and freak out when I startle them. I saw a copperhead one time and it was obviously cross with me.

That being said, if something snaked at me in a rectilinear fashion I’d probably shit my pants.
