I’ll never forget walking through my grandfathers yard and noticing that with every step I took, I’d see a few dart away from me. Only saw them when they were crossing the tops of flat clove leaves in the grass. Wouldnct have known they were there, otherwise. Everywhere. Was curious enough to find out what they were and much to my relief, mostly harmless. Still, tresspassers get the death penalty. I’ve crowled under nearly a thousand houses since then and never got bit, despite undoubtedly being covered by different kinds. Still panic if I catch em on me, but I know I donct have much to worry about here in the PNW. The coast and valley are pretty safe. Rattlers and widows are more common east of the valley.
