Okay, I know I complain about the winters here in Southern Ontario, Canada, but after seeing these pictures, I think I'll take the snow, I'm glad we don't have critters like these around!! Had a baby garter snake in my garage the other day, the odd mouse in the house, and skunks, raccoons, all basically harmless thankfully!

I'm not going to lie. Just looking at those pictures freaked me out. I hate snakes.

That gator was wicked cool!! I love gators/crocs anyways. Snakes, not so much. If I had opened that pipe and seen all those rattlesnakes....YIKES

I could handle the gator (and by "handle" I mean not totally freak out and run home) but the pile o' rattlers would have me running for home- I'm scared to death of snakes! :bolt:

OMG!!!! Can you say pass the Depends undergarments???? I would have needed them badly had I been the one to discover this.

We also have the occasional mouse or skunk. I have had a moose, fox, coyote and racoon run through my yard but those are nothing compared to gators and rattlers.

I have posted before, it was not uncommon for 6 to 8 foot gators and water moccasins to show up in our neighborhood in St. Pete, we lived near a nature preserve.

And I hated the cockroaches much worse than anything else!

I would have been running if I had been there, but I have to admit the pics made me laugh! Every time we fly into MCO, my dad gets all excited and says "See any gators?!" Wouldn't he just :jaw: if we saw that scene as we landed?!

Yikes. Those snakes made me queasy. I guess I think of Florida and WDW and happy pappy things. I forget about all that other real stuff!

Well, a quick look on snopes reveals the truth:
http://www.snopes.com/photos/animals/culvert.asp

"Despite the urbanization of much of the world, there are still plenty of places left where construction work runs flush into non-human inhabitants of both the large and the deadly varieties. The message reproduced above purports to document an instance where power workers ran into a couple of dangerous species at the same site, one large in size and the other large in number. Although the photographs are genuine, they have nothing to do with each other -- they're two unrelated images someone lumped together with a fabricated story.

'Thank you for your recent e-mail. We received this same inquiry about the
alligator and snakes in August, 2002. At that time one of our employees
investigated the situation.

What they found out was OUC (Orlando Utilities Commission) services the
Orlando International Airport area. They contacted OUC who said they knew
nothing about the story. FPL's environmental department said they had been
forwarded many copies and that this is a hoax or urban legend that is being
passed around the Internet. They also advised that the rattlesnakes are
western diamondbacks and would not be found in Florida.'"

Amen!!!! I too am not fond of our weather here in ONT but I'll take it over that gator and those snakes. I was nearly sick when I saw that was snakes.

I guess seeing as I'm a native Floridian whose lived here all my life, I was like "Pfft, that ain't nothing. Welcome to the South, guys."

Then again, in the post about the gator on BTM, I also stated that it didn't surprise me that it happened since Florida is nothing but swamplands. And cows. And that's what Disney was built on. And most of of the city.
