Living here in mid-Georgia, everyone around tells me there are a LOT of snakes. Personally I've only seen 4 in the 5 years I've been here. One Garter snake, two King snakes, and this week - a water moccasin. The moccasin was munching out on a large frog until I sent him on his way to Snake Heaven with a .22 shot.
But - I have a lot of wooded area around that I plan on cleaning up this spring, and two large ponds that would probably welcome moccasins and rattle snakes. Seeing the moccasin recently makes me wonder if I shouldn't be wearing snake guards, or snake leggings as they are sometimes called.
I have some Kevlar lined jeans... Do you think those would stop a snake bite? Or should I opt for some bonified leggings? And if so, any suggestions on brand or type?
Any suggestions, other than farming out the work, would be appreciated.
