Wonderful! We will check into that. I knew someone here could point us in the right direction. Thank you so much.
I had no idea my phobia would generate so many responses and even be a focal article for Scott’s newsletters!
In compiling all the advice received from you kind folks it seems as if my chances of encountering one of these critters are pretty slim. For some reason I just thought snakes would be much more prevalent since there is so much open country, but common sense when walking in high grass or the pathways just makes sense. Believe me, I will heed every word!
Thank you all again for your concern.
Another great supporter; I’m so pleased with all these responses.
Jo, you certainly are brave. I only hope I can become as fearless. I know these creatures are more afraid of us than we think; it’s the element of surprise that contributes to fear for both them and us. I’m just going to have to bite the bullet on this. When we return I’ll post something about my experiences (or hopefully, lack of).
Thank you all again.
Thank you, Alberto for your supportive words. I’ll save the machete idea for if we actually live in CR…it may be hard to get it passed security at the airport!
Much apreciated.
Wow, posted such a short time ago and so many replies already. Thank each of you so very much. I know you may think it silly of me to be so concerned about such a beneficial creature, but I have had this fear since a child — I even stapled the reptile pages shut on my Golden Book Encyclopedia, so that should give you some idea of the depth of my fear.
There’s no need to worry about me lifting rocks or any such thing because I certainly don’t want to discover any hidden “treasures”. I will certainly heed your advice and keep your words of encouragement in the back of my mind as I explore this beautiful country. You have put me at ease a great deal. Perhaps with the luck of the Irish, I won’t even encounter
one!
