there's plenty of things biting you and yes snakes live there but i am yet to encounter one. The most frequent annoyance is you trundle through some jungle and get stung by all the "sticker plants" and then 20 yards down the path you realize that you are now covered in biting ants who are not real pleased about you being near their home. Occassionally we will get some horseflies in the mix who will pursue you relentlessly after you are ages from their home. It just kind of comes with the territory :)

Sounds bad, I don’t know what sticker plants are but I’m not fond of things being stuck on me.
I have yet to encounter a snake either and they do live here.

well when i say sticker plants that it just a word i use for anything that has something sharp on it... the worst one the ones quite near the ground that end up in my socks and end up poking me for the rest of the run. On my long run tomorrow i am bringing several pairs of socks in case it happens then.
I've been cut by some of the sharp vine plants too but normally this happens when i am trying to be a hero on the trail.
They call em thistle's here, spiky horrible things that do stick in your socks. I come across all kinds of nasties during my Urbex trips.
It's one of the hazards of the trade :)
