get to that place

Can I say,

Please do not get to that place, it has a lot of snakes.

Is this sentence grammatically and semantically correct?

I mean, by this sentence, that, "please do not move to that place, it has a lot of snakes, it will kill you".

Please help me.

Grammatically OK but I don't think "get to" is a semantically correct choice. This is what my non-native intuition tells me. I would use Please keep away from that place; there are lots of snakes there.

Thank you.

Here are a few more sentences :

(1) Please don't get your car there, you will be punished.

(2) Please get your hand away from me, it pains me.

Are these sentences correct?

Please help me.

[Actually, I saw the dictionary that one of the meaning of get was "to change the position". So I applied this meaning
