Country Wildlife Disclaimer: In central Texas countryside, guests may encounter snakes and scorpions due to the diverse wildlife. Snakes like rattlesnakes and copperheads are found in wooded areas and near water sources, while scorpions, especially the striped bark scorpion, seek shelter in cool, dark places like under rocks or inside buildings. Guests might encounter these creatures while hiking, gardening, or staying in rustic accommodations. To stay safe, wear sturdy footwear and long pants, use a flashlight at night, and shake out clothing and shoes before wearing them. Although we take protected measures by spraying for critters from coming indoors, consider using house slippers or house shoes while in the house to protect against unexpected encounters from scorpions or spiders.
