[disney1sttimer]

if we do see one, what is the advice? do we run or stand still? I know iw ill want to run but if thats a bad thing to do then id rather know

Im thinking this depends on how fast you can run v how fast the snake can run

I guess I'm not helping much

Saw one at Typhoon Lagoon once. There's lots of shrubby areas there so I guess there are more animals in there than we realise. It just kind of slithered along as I bobbed past on the lazy river.

If you don't like snakes then you need to give Honey I Shrunk The Audience a miss for sure.

My body responds without thinking. It is the ONLY time you'll see this broken down wreck move at the speed of light. I just dash off in the opposite direction!

I always close my eyes at that bit Dawn!

I absolutely abhor that snake at HISTA Dawn.

Speaking of which, I've seen a rat twice now at WDW. Once walking across the path in WS! A woman totally freaked. Another time it was in the gorilla habitat. UGH.

Also saw one in a bar in Old Town. Don't go in those places anymore I can tell you.

Tink I've seen a snake at our favourite resort BC. It was asleep on a little square of concrete along the walkway by the quiet pool, on the way to Epcot. I'm not scared of snakes, (met quite a few in my life ) I find them quite fascinating, spiders I will never kill but don't really like them, I think they get a bad press. Rats are dirty creatures but I love mice. Hate flies uugh, will kill them as quick as I can.

The little one I saw was on the hill just below the BC (heading toward EPCOT's IG).

Rats and mice are dirty things for the most part. I do like those little deer mice that live outdoors though. Wicked cute. One got in my cellar one year during the winter. I fed it all winter long. It was quite well behaved and didn't chew up anything important.

I totally agree with your hatred of rats Piglet BUT, I saw a programme on the tv recently which actually stated that rats were in fact very clean animals, always preening themselves etc.
They do carry loads of "nasties" harmful to us humans though.
