Funny you bring up snakes. I was helping a friend yesterday with Chevy truck....needs all the help he can get.....and on the way home I saw a LONG snake in the road in front of the property. I pulled over and got out and it was the longest banded water snake I've ever seen. He was at least 7 feet long and in the MIDDLE of the road and ain't got hit yet. I didn't think they got that big. So I grabbed him and helped him across the road and chunked him up in the woods on our side. They're good snakes to have around.
