I have lived in the desert SW most of my life and only had one encounter with a rattlesnake and he went one way and I went the other. Lucky I heard him rattle and was alerted. Now in Washington I've had a couple encounters with black bears and they went one way and I went the other.
Now if you want to worry about something, spiders are more likely to come visit. And they go where ever they want. Scorpions are another SW treat, they like boots.
Bit like Dangerous snakes in Australia, more people have been killed by honeybees and the allergic reaction to their sting than any reptile.
Now you guys have your fair share of the "out ta kill ya" creepies. While we have rattlesnakes you guys have about 10 varieties to watch out for. LOL
