Re: snakes and camping
Suburbia is a great place to be a snake. We've had 2 small rattlers and a coral snake in our yard. We have a large easement behind the house in NE San Antonio. We've have 6 or 7 scorpions, 6 or 7 centipeedes, and one brown recluse ( which bit me while doing yard work).
We've spend more than 30 nights out this year and while camping, we've seen 2 tarantulas, 1 black widow, and 1 very small non poisonous snake ( Lake Mineral wells, Inks, South Llano and Perdernales - in that order). 2 of the spiders were in the camp area.
However, we don't have 1000's of deer, javelinas, foxes, armadillos, racoons, skunks, possums, geese ( Gotta love those Garner geese), turkeys, owls, alligators, and birds like the parks do.
If you go when it's cold, you won't see any snakes. Take her somewhere close, with something nice to explore, and bring some wine, cheese, and logs for the fire. I'm with 4everFrio, butter her up, the stars at night are big and bright, go camping.
