Interesting... when I read it I, like Etana, thought it was up to 2 60-min walks/day. I've still got a bit of time before I'm in weeks 9-12, but I'd just figured it meant I'd be fine with my 2-15 min walks at work and then an additional 60-min walk after I got off work.
Regarding snakes--I saw one a few weeks ago when I took a walk during our company picnic (it was a at park near open space, so it wasn't too surprising to see a snake). I decided it likely wasn't poisonous since the only poisonous snakes out here are rattlers, and its tail didn't look like a rattler's tail. Still, it gave me pause, and it paused itself when it sensed my footsteps. I just skirted around it and went on my way. Honestly, I think they'd only attack a human if they feel threatened. We're too big for food.
So yeah, a walking stick would probably do you fine, and like Kim said, don't go poking around rock piles.
