Unless this was in Australia or some place with dangerous snakes, I don’t really see why people should be THAT afraid of them, if anything you should be happy they’re gonna keep the rats at bay.
Aussie snakes might be very venomous, but in general they’ll only bite if they’re provoked. I live near a nature reserve full of snakes and it’s not really an issue for most people. Just leave them alone and they’ll leave you alone.
But you might provoke them by mistake as you didn’t even see them no? I mean no expert but like accidents happen, it’s not just people being dumb and bothering them or similar.
I’ve lived near the reserve for about 20 years and I haven’t heard of anyone being bitten by a snake there (although some dogs have, unfortunately). I think accidents could happen but they’d be pretty rare. The snakes here tend to stick to the long grass and near the creek and I think most people have the sense to not go trampling through the grass during snake season.
It also depends on the snake species. Around here we mainly have Eastern browns, which are venomous but timid. In other places in Australia snakes may be more aggressive and accidents are more likely.
The 2023 pic is beautiful and looks really nice. But if we’re comparing in good faith, it’s also pretty obvious that the 2022 photo was taken in early spring when nothing is growing.
There’s surely a lot more plant life on the bottom anyway, but it would not look that vibrant if it was all dormant right after winter like the top pic.
Cannot believe that someone would prefer 2022 photo instead of 2023…

True nature in cities is not only for humans, but also for the animals, bugs and all the little creatures.
