Last night I was driving through Watercolor, and there was a LARGE (long AND fat!) serpent on the white line. It was after dark, but in the headlights the thing looked to be 4' long. Light-colored. It wasn't tapered like a non-venomous snake, so I attempted to squish it but missed. (Sorry, snake-huggers, but there were pedestrians only a few feet away on the other side of whatever they have growing between the road and the sidewalk.) That sonofabiscuit was mad...Before you even ask--NO, I don't have pictures.
Then as we left town today, there was a big ol' black snake trying to cross 283. He could have been harmless--very long and skinny.
I haven't seen a snake all spring, and suddenly I'm surrounded by them. This camera-shy guy was waiting on my steps Friday:
He is now living under my house. Because of that and his incredibly black, hard-to-photograph color, I think I'm calling him Smudge...
