Was an impromtu affair. Lisa hit me with it at about 6:30 this evening so I said sure. In our haste we forgot the flippin camera.
We had a deer, turkey, armadillo and countless Cardinals cross our path.
And two Florida Cottonmouths- at the same time.
I pulled up on a small one about 15." Lisa says hey there is a bigger snake up there. Sure enough, 50ft or so another Cottonmouth was crossing the road. As I was catching the little guy a truck pulls up on us. They asked what we were doing and I said there was another snake up ahead and I'd get it in a sec. The m@#$%^&*()*r drove right down there and ran her over. :angry01: I drove down and she looked O.K. but I know there was internal damage. So I decided to go ahead and euthanized her.
On the way out we found a flattened snake on the road. I'll describe it and see if anybody concurs with my thoughts-
Blackish/bluish belly and body. Head was flat but color was still there. Dark, no white under the chin. 3ft. :eek1:
