Few weeks ago, I was bicycling in Eastern Washington at night and I saw on the road, what I initially thought was a cord. As my LED headlight hit it, I saw a long stripe of electric blue color that ran along the the length of this "cord." Not knowing what it was, I was mesmerized by its electric blue band. As I pedalled closer, I realized it was a snake, good 9 feet, though it might have been more like 6 feet, lying on the pavement and I drew closer, it slitered toward me, faster than I could say, "Ahhhhh!" and I swerved my bike to the center lane and barely missed the snake lunging toward me.



Since then, I've tried to tell this story to my friend, but the "electric blue" color of the snake makes them think that I might have been hallucinating. Except that I saw it and I know it was a snake.



Now, is there an expert in this community who can verify my experience and even point me toward which snake it might have been? Do you know if snakes reflect back electric blue colors when lights, specifically powerful LED lights, hit its body at night?



I'd appreciate your input. Thanks!
