Good man. Thanks I hate to see people that go out of their way to run over snakes.I got this pretty girl outta the road before someone ran her over. I feel like I’m the lucky one
Around here they're mostly solid black except for their belly, but you'll see one like in the picture there occasionally with a little pattern. Probably the most common snake here, and they can get huge. And yep, they often have an attitude when you mess with them.Very pretty snake. Is that a black ratsnake (I have never seen any of those without a grey diamond type pattern)? If so, I have run across quite a few of them, and all but the biggest one had quite a nasty temper - holding their ground, coiling up and getting ready to strike. However, the biggest one I saw, at least 5', was very gentle, and didn't get defensive at all when I put my camera 6" in front of its face.
Good job! I do the same pretty often. I don't understand most people's hatred of snakes.I got this pretty girl outta the road before someone ran her over. I feel like I’m the lucky one
