We have had 2 run-ins with snakes in our new house, along with one turtle...in our pool. The first, a big one, got out on its own. The second met its end at the hand of Joel and his garden pruners (looked like a baby rattler). The turtle I rescued, and called the boys over for a closer look, when the little stinker craned its head around and tried to bite me. It was a snapping turtle. We put it in a box and released it in our neighborhood's retention pond. But it goes to show that here in Florida, one must always look before he leaps into the pool.; February 22, 2009 at 11:39 AM

I am so glad my termite guy had already told me that wood scorpion stings hurt like the dickens, but are not really poisonous to humans. Based on an early morning experience, I can confirm that a wood scorpion stings REALLY HURTS, but does not kill you.; February 22, 2009 at 1:18 PM
