I'm down with the south except for: scorpions, poisonous snakes.

I've never seen a scorpion. I just heard they're supposedly migrating to a wider portion of Texas, but not sure that's not just legacy media bullshit like the whole killer bee thing that never ended up being a big deal.

And so far I haven't dealt with any poisonous snakes I didn't go looking for.

Here's a map showing scorpion prevalence in OK, TX, NM, etc: https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ykC1WfBNq6c/WgrX3wB8GeI/AAAAAAAABw0/zJpQep6LXjM5G1s1k8fIS7LDXTsOwSm0wCLcBGAs/w1200-h630-p-k-no-nu/scorpionism%2Busa.png

Looks like San Antonio and Austin has some, but it's mostly an AZ and NM thing.

Looks like there's hardly any scorpions in Texas.
