Depends on where your AT in Texas..... I'd hate to be under a car and one of them gators comes up to meet you for some face time LOL. I had one outside my rig at the Ganado T/A a few months back. Just a little 2' guy, but I know MAMA was close by I'm sure. Seen em sunbathing along US59 and around 13' long they are hard to miss.

Yeah, but in central TX, you do have rattlesnakes. (You'd have a world record if you hit one that gave you a bump with the truck.) Here in FL, we do have much larger snakes. Burmese Pythons will grow to 30', and if you ran over one, you'd know it. Those long bodies full of muscles can do some pretty serious damage to the bottom of a truck. Worse than hitting a dog with a brand new car.
But, I seem to remember going by a billboard near Austin that said they had a 12' alligator on display... LIVE. I'd be willing to bet there are a couple around there, but you just don't have the swamp to keep them happy in the wild.

I am absolutely petrified of snakes. I hate them all.

Been there,done that.Rattlesnake tastes like chicken.Last time I was in Swee****er I picked up sheetrock and that wasn't a real good experience either.Guess I could set up with my Mobile Oil trailer there and change oil during the round up.Probably not.
