Isnt he cutegot yourself a little protector ahaha
Yes fully aware that it was a black racer as was the reason i got so close, we used to try to catch em. He will protect my plant though because those bushes are his home. and im glad for it. Thanks for the concern bro i am aware of these risks as there are many in the florida woods (i call it a jungle). Banana spiders are everywhere out there and one google search will show you that you dont want to run into their webs. I see at least 3 every trip. They shake their web rapidly if you get close its creepy. Also almost climbed a tree today because i was not 50 yards from a pack of hogs in the swamp. I made some noise and they moved off.well your snake appears to be a black racer or rat snake. its non poisonous and eats rodents and other small animals and larger bugs.
from a quick search it seems that there are 2 venomous species that are indigous to your area and thats the pit viper and coral snake. be carefull trecking through them woods man if you get bit by a poisonous one you may not make it back out.
also alot of larger snakes that are not indigous to your area that people get as pets and release. im sure you already know this but would hate to see ya get bit.
Bro its such a pain lollol you can tell its florida. all those little palms gotta be a pain to hike through.
