We get corral snakes in my area. Never seen a rattler all the way down here, but I am told they are around.
It's really about situation awareness. If you're out in brush country (which I traverse in sandals) make sure to be listen and look. Snakes will typically provide you with a chance to hear them, either by hissing or moving the opposite direction of you.
