Personally, I cannot abide the thought of leaving an injured snake to die a gruesome death on a highway. I have rescued several snakes that would not have survived their next encounter with a set of Goodyears. Consider how lucky a snake has to be to not be instantly fataly injured. Surprisingly, most that are not killed outright survive with care. Re-release to the wild is victory over the forces of deliberate and/or random automotive ophidiocide.

Below is a rescued WV Black Ratsnake.

Cheers,
