Snakes and Spiders and things that crawl

I live in Iowa. We don't see these types of things here. I have family in Texas and Florida and often thought of moving there. But this stops me cold. Is my paranoia exaggerated? I guess I imagine seeing them everywhere once I get there?

So you are saying you don't have spiders or snakes in Iowa?
Didn't realize that.
Texas is a big state. I imagine there are differences between where you pick to live.
I can speak about Georgia. It's not so bad. Keep the grass cut and stay out of the woods. Never seen a Rattler in North Georgia. They are in south Georgia plenty. Just Cotton Mouths and Copper Heads are all I've ever seen in NW Georgia.
