<p>Raccoons and squirrels seem to be the worst pests I've been hearing about. I haven't dealt with raccoons other than the fact that they will pillage a hanging feeder if they can reach it so make sure any fish feeders are protected and secured. The squirrels though will do lots of damage from eating lettuce to decimating seedlings. They seem to have a strange taste for peat pellets too.</p>

<p>After working a fish farm for few summer where cottonmouths were very common I will tell you to chill out. The chances of interactions with them is next to nothing. The northern water snake will be more of an issue if you live adjacent to a body of water with large numbers of water snakes. Those things can really do a number on confined fish, and they are aggressive, but a least they are not venomous.</p>
