yep

Why is it dead when it appears to be in a wooded area?

He was hit by the car in front of us on a busy road so we got him off asap so he wouldn't get smashed any more.

Don't accuse me of killing him if thats what you were insinuating.

Ha! Ha! No, I wasn't insinuating or thinking that you killed it. LOL!

I had to go back to read what I wrote. I could've wrote it differently, better, but I was in a hurry. I see that I didn't even sign it, which I always do.

I don't think anyone would make a post like that in this forum if they were the one that killed it. At least, nobody with any sense. Ha!

I was thinking that you might've found it on a hiking trail or maybe even a neighbor might've killed it & called you about it. Didn't know and was just curious, that's all.

But back to the fangs; I noticed on the one I rescued last week that its fangs seemed pretty long for the size of the snake. I inspected its mouth for any damage/injuries because my wife thought for sure a truck had run over it. That was the first time I've seen a Timber being that I'm originally from FL and the fangs seemed a little longer than what I remembered an EDB's were.

Have a good one!

My bad for assuming thats what you meant.

I hate finding ones hit on the road like that, but its all part of field herping. I got some nice photos from him, and now I know they are in that area.

John

now that is a great photo -- very nice
