He just didn't want to get out of my way.

Look's like it's either a coachwhip or a cottonmouth. Then again maybe it was looking for the garden of Eden.

Oh, it's just an old Black Snake but it will still bite the hell out of you.

Did it offer up an apple to you????

No but it did ask me to carry him up the road aways. And he promised not to bite me. However I have delt with snakes before and bite is just what they do.

no serpents here but a lot of lagartijas in summer. Sometimes yararás in the islands.
I can see a triangular head: is it venenosa?

No, not poisonous but they will still strike.

why is the snake so tortuous? is it because it was tensed and trying to wriggle away?

Well Jim, the ripples in the snake were quite puzzling. I never saw one do that before. It was early in the morning and the snake was sunning in the road. I spent ten minutes with it while it lay motionless. I had to chase it off the road so I could go to work and the snake straightened right out as he slithered away. It was a good six feet.

It's good that you cared about the snake.

Once I had a date with a woman from the Bahamas and we drove out into the country and saw this snake in the road and she started yelling "snake, kill it, it's the Devil!"

That's when I knew that her cultural reality was slightly impaired.
She told me that she went to church every day growing up.
