Ribbon Snake I thought this might be a juvenile, but it was about 14 inches long (~35cm). I guess it was sunning, but it was lucky I didn't run over it in the middle of the road! Even though it was so long, it looked at first glance a lot like the bits of wire bundles that were in the middle of the road.

    Such a common pattern: reptiles resting on roads for the warmth. Anyway, awesome species intro! Posted 10 years ago
