We see them all the time when we are out riding in the swamps. There was one area in the Green Swamp we used to ride- they were so common we rode with snake leggings. They would lay in the Palmetto branches- about 2 feet off the ground. Scary, but I never heard of anyone getting hurt. One old guy that rode there a lot said if you knew you were going to run over one, ride over the head end as they can't hurt you with their tail.
Snake bite flats take on a whole new meaning.
