Snakes

Given that the Lone Star State has the largest number of snakes than any other U.S. state, it's good to be aware while enjoying our Texas lakes.

As un-fond as I tend to be of snakes, there's something about Pancho and Lefty who live at a Texas Zoo that makes me feel compassion for them...or, um...HIM.

Being that the biggest ones can crowd 9 feet in length, you might want tp keep an eye on small pets and infants/toddlers.

Snakes love rivers, especially Texas Rivers.

This is the stuff of nightmares right here.
