Default Bitten by Snakes or Snapping Turtles while Swimming?

How many people a year down there die to snakes, and crocks ?

Snakes? About one every few years in spite of the fact that we have
the deadliest species on the planet and the greatest number of
venomous species.


Crocs? Maybe one or two a year. Some people are stupid enough to swim,
or play, where the croc can get at them. Crocs are extremely fast on
land ... for a very short distance.


Don't forget the sharks...

I have no doubt there are many folks envious of you & your sharks...
