river snakes

[hazel dorrington]

Just over a week ago I came across a large snake on the road just over the bridge at the end of the road from Palms restaurant. About 3 feet long and over an inch wide. All black, although didn't go close enough for a thorough examination. Did get a photo though but don't know how to add to this text.  My cats often bring tiny snakes in to play with but this is the first time I have seen one this size.

I'm really glad I read this topic as it just proves that one can't even rely on textbook info 100%. I
trusted my "Turkey rough guide", which mentioned that although there are vipers they are so uncommon
that they are not considered a threat. I won't be trying to catch everything I see! I'm glad some helpful
info is coming out of this thread

This is the reason I always turn Doll down wen she invites me round to skinnydip in her pool  

Note that by picture 3 the chemicals have made the snake a little fatter in the middle, and grow legs []

they turn nasty just be cafeful in long grasses
the land has been turned over so that may be while there on the move
