Gators and snakes...no big deal. They got big big spiders, too. And blue-haired old ladies that flip you off when you honk your horn at them, as they putter along in the left lane. Yeah, FL's got some real strange wildlife.

Funny ... lived in FL for a year and a half, the wildest life I saw was the "patrol widows" at the bar near the Navy base...

I've lived in Florida my whole life, I've only seen 2 poisonous snakes in the wild... The 6 ft. long rattle snake tasted pretty good with some Sonny's BBQ sauce on it.

I lived here all my life also, and that is biggest f- ggator I've ever seen.
I use to drive across Alligator Alley (I-75) about every two weeks and in the spring (mating season) there would be gators everywhere. But not that big.

Agreed...rattlers don't taste bad, and their hide makes a great hat band.

'Fess up...which one? For snake, I'd go with the sweet or maybe mustard...
