Snakes are everywhere in the countryside. When we bought our previous
property, my mother-in-law asked the real estate agent "What kind of
snakes do you have here?" She replied: "What kind do you like?"

Nevertheless, in 20 years I've only seen a dangerous snake (dial 911
immediately if you get bitten kinda snake) around 12 times. Once it
came after me and once it slid peacefully past me. The other times it
wasn't that close.

We have huntsman spiders but they're called "cane spiders" on this rock.
Americans aren't used to seeing big spiders so visitors are totally
terrified of them. The good news is that I haven't seen a cane spider or
centipedes around here in ages. My guess is that the chickens have wiped
them out. That's fine with me.
