5. 5. Wildlife Safety — Please Read Carefully

   This is a working woodland environment. Wildlife is present and part of what makes this property beautiful — but it demands your respect and awareness at all times.

   Venomous Snakes

   Two venomous snake species are native to Wilson County and may be present on or near the property:

   • Copperhead (Agkistrodon contortrix): Tan or copper-colored body with distinctive hourglass-shaped brown crossbands. Often found near rock piles, leaf litter, logs, and woodpiles. Most active at dusk and dawn.
   • Timber Rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus): Heavy-bodied with dark crossbands and a distinctive rattle at the tail. May be tan, yellow, or dark gray. Found near rocky outcroppings, wooded hillsides, and forest edges.

   Important: Give all snakes a wide berth — venomous or not. Never attempt to handle, provoke, or kill any snake. The vast majority of snakebites occur when people try to interact with or kill a snake. If you encounter one, back away slowly and give it space to move on. Notify the host if a venomous snake is observed near the home entrance or fire pit area.

   If a snakebite occurs: Call 911 immediately. Keep the affected limb below heart level, remain calm, and do not apply ice, tourniquets, or attempt to suck out venom.

   Ticks, Spiders & Insects

   • Tick repellent is provided inside the home — please use it before every outdoor outing, including driveway walks.
   • After any time outdoors, perform a full-body tick check on yourself and all children. Check hairlines, behind the ears, underarms, and behind the knees.
   • Wear long pants and tuck them into socks when in tall grass or brush.
