Rustle your feet when you walk, they will hear you coming and move

Snakes don't actually lay in wait for a person. They aren't interested in attacking people. We are not a food source, so to attack us they are wasting their venom. The way it's been explained to me is that if you should happen to walk between a snake and it's last known safe place it will instinctively head back for safety. Even if you are in the way! This is often misinterpreted as aggression. When walking through a possible snake habitat, make lots of noise, and wear appropriate clothing.

Above mentioned are both correct. I am one of the snake catchers in the Anti-Venom Department of King Fahad Hospital in Riyadh.

Snakes respond to vibrations in the air and on the ground, walk heavy or with a walking stick you can poke into the ground, and they should steer clear of you!

Not only that, but wear closed-toed shoes, preferably boots and a pair of socks... the most common venomous snake bite here in Florida is from the pigmy rattlesnake, people step on them all the time and get bitten on the big toe or ankle... they try to warn you off with the rattle, but it's so small that you can barely hear it....

All of the above are correct with one exception in central Alabama we have a Copperhead that is very aggressive so much so that they have been known to hide behind something and wait on you to come by. I can attest to this as fact having been bitten twice.

LIKE SAID ABOVE, IT SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM!
