I wished it would have been. I really think the fall stunned the snake as it didn't make any move after falling. Only I made the move.

Well...if the head looks at all triangular, I am not going to bend over (with my eyes, that would be required) a dark-looking snake to see if it has stripes by the eye, or an elliptical pupil, or keeled scales, or all the other signs.
While I would be trying to identify it, dam thing would probably grab hold of my leg. Hello, Sacred Heart ICU.
And yes, all snakes have "dens" or "nests" or whatever you want to call them. They also tend to pair off.

Looks like a cottonheaded water rattler to me.
Uh, yeah...clearly this is a trespassing issue.
Gah. Have you never seen "Lonesome Dove?"
Grace and SJ, y'all are hereby forbidden to post on the same thread until one of you gets a less icky 'tar. Bleh! I'd rather look at a nest of slugs.
Amen, Bro!

Ok, See you if can top this snake story.
I accidentally ran over a huge!! black snake. I looked back in my rearview mirror to see what happened to it.
You guessed it--no snake in sight.
I couldn't drive up my driveway fast enough. I was scared to put my feet on the floor board of the car. (yes, I know they are harmless and good for the environment). Don't care, it's a snake.
Jump out of the car and found the snake.
All 6 feet of it were wrapped neatly around the axle of my van.
Had to call for someone to help unroll the snake from my axle while I backed the van up slowly. (Now that's a friend).

THAT scene in Lonesome Dove of the roiling water moccassin nest swarming
all over that guy in the river is the stuff of nightmares. THAT scene is always what I think of when mocs are brought up
Fiction, my dear.
