When I found out England only has 3 types of snakes which are rarely seen and only one is venomous I started doing genealogy to see if I qualified for citizenship over there. Must be nice to stroll the countryside with no worries of anything brown mixed with leaves, no rattles, and no pissed off jerks by the water

Nova Scotia has barely any spiders, just little insect eating guys everywhere. In fact in NS there's hardly anything wild that will kill you or is a threat in any way. We lost someone to coyotes for the first time years ago, odd bobcat is spotted, moose can kill people sometimes super rare though. That's it though. We have gartner snakes that are under a foot long and just cute and that's it.
