Stopped at a rest stop in Texas the other day and saw 2 signs there that warned watch for snakes ... I walked around the whole rest stop to stretch and never saw any snakes. I’m afraid of snakes also so I was looking. I would think they would be worse in Arizona ? Seems to me it’s like Florida and alligators , yes you can see them but its extremely rare. But go to California and the amount of drug addicts and homeless people are everywhere everyday all the time off the charts.

Florida has gators, just saying. Sometimes, there's water in every direction.
Fire ants, and spiders, and I haven't heard about africanized bees lately, but they would not be fun.
Farm I lived on for 27 or 8 years had been a rattlesnake haven long before I moved on, but a highway built new in the mid 60s caused them to relocate, never saw one in all the time I lived there. Yellowjackets can keep stinging, although depleting it. Paper wasps are bigger and badder than yellow jackets. Nest under eves and inside covers on propane tanks and inside machines(be careful checking inside a twine box or the back of a combine) Bumblebees and honeybees sting once, iirc.
Coyotes would run across our doorsteps, though.SmallPackage Thanks this. -
If you have a dog be careful walking him or her. I was near Amarillo walking my dog and heard one rattling in the bushes. Never saw it but he was there somewhere. If you encounter them it will likely be in the rural areas, rest stops etc. Also in Texas you got to watch out for scorpions, again mainly walking your dog. I was in a rest area north of Ft Worth and it was full of them...they were kind of a grew color with blue striped. The next time I went through there they had put poison out to get rid of them.
SmallPackage Thanks this. -
