As I was hiking this weekend, I came upon this little critter on the trail. He appears to be a ringed snake, or diadophis punctatus. He was a little slow moving, so I imagine he was either just emerging from hibernation, or had recently eaten.
I’m glad I helped him off the trail with a stick rather than my hands (I guess I’m not a Mark 16:18 Christian), as they apparently can give off a pungent odor if handled. He did finally scurry off into the brush.
Dolor for Misdeeds? Where is the link? How can I buy it?
