I am not afraid of snakes.

I never was either, but water moccasins changed me. I was walking along
a RR track in Florida, when I stopped to look at a swamp. Must of been a
1/2 dozen of the things that swam over to have a look at me. A couple
even started to climb out of the swamp towards me. I took that as a
reason to keep walking, quickly. Around here, the snakes I come upon,
head away.

Same thing happened to me in Florida. Walking along a canal, moccasin
swimming, headed right for the bank and started up. I took off.
Luckily I could run fast back then.
