We had moccasins, too, and those fuckers are psycho. Especially in the water. Hellll nah. Rattlers don't chase you, and if you're not paying attention in the wilderness, you're fucked one way or another, eventually. The only blue racer I was afraid of was the old AF 'coaster @ Cedar Point (Red & Blue Racers'd switch up which one was going backwards, and you never knew until it started moving — and stupid fast!) That said, I have been chased by an alligator on a bike, though I've no idea how it reached the pedals.
We have lived to tell!
Frankly, I was hoping someone'd ask how the 'gator was giving chase via bicycle, but maybe it was only vivid in my own mind. 😜
