Types of snakes in Arkansas: What to know and do

Fort Smith Times Record Just the name sends shivers up many people s spines. But a little education can go a long way in protecting yourself and the misunderstood, slithering snake. Ophidiophobia, the fear of snakes, is listed among the most common fears in America. More than half of the U.S. population is afraid of snakes, according to a 2001 Gallup poll. And a 2013 National Institutes of Health study found that the human brain is evolutionarily conditioned to be afraid of snake-like forms. Although the notion of a good snake,  like the Speckled Kingsnake, is becoming more common because they eat venomous snakes, it is not as commonly accepted in Arkansas that even venomous snakes have their rightful place in the ecosystem.

Knowing Florida s venomous snakes, from a distance

Hiking is one of my very favorite ways to spend my leisure time. Between the Ocala National Forest, the Seminole State Forest, several State parks, an abundance of wildlife management areas, and a beautiful variety of local parks, I am fairly certain I could spend every weekend in the woods and still not discover all that Central Florida has to offer. My Australian Shepherd, Annabelle, is my trusty hiking partner and provides equal parts entertainment and companionship on these weekend adventures. A couple of weeks ago Annabelle and I were exploring a wildlife management area near the St. Johns River when we had a close encounter of the slithery kind. I, being a somewhat oblivious human, would have had a far closer encounter had it not been for Annabelle’s barking, which alerted me to the presence of a well-camouflaged Pygmy Rattlesnake.
