    I was wondering if roadkills are a problem in the area? Posted 8 years ago

      There are definitely an unfortunately large number of roadkill snakes anywhere that road-cruised snakes are found. Often the snakes stop to take in the heat from the road, which of course makes them sitting ducks for passing cars. Usually I see considerably more live snakes than dead ones, but it's always sad to see any dead ones of course. Posted 8 years ago
