Snake On The Road


Recommended Posts

Yesterday I went for a nugget hunt and before I could get to my spot I saw this snake in the road.

It wasn't moving in the early morning chill so I got closer to see if it had been hit by a car.  No, it was just sunning itself but I didn't want to leave it there so I got a stick.  It needed to be moved and I would pick it up if I had to.  This is a harmless gopher snake I think.  It had no rattles and is not poisonous from my experience.

It moved on its own.

I didn't know if it could make it up the side of the road but as you can see no problem!

All that was left were the tracks.

I think it was a politician snake and only when you used a stick was it willing to do what you wanted it to do.

Good save.
