Though ironically, the most snakes and spiders I have ever encountered has been at my parents' house, so eh...
Encountering a goanna (monitor lizard) just wandering around the Uni res in Qld was pretty cool, though! All the girls squealing and cowering in the halls until someone came and took it away. Good times, good times... Lol.
But yeah, the wildlife is very much like Florida (or I guess Mississippi?) but on steroids, ha. Though if you live in the city (and not near bushland), you're rarely going to encounter anything larger than a possum (not the same as the opossum) or a decent-sized huntsman spider!
Edit: in terms of actual "danger", though, the meth-heads usually beat out most of the non-human wildlife. And the drunks.
In terms of the aquatic realm, however? Yeah, the creatures out/in there will seriously fuck you up, without question or prompting, lol...
Hahaha yeah...
