Seldom seen let alone photographed I caught this specimen on digital media just before it slithered back under the eaves and into the shed :) :)

It was a big one too ;D :)
Better watch out they're pretty vicious this time of the year. One just went down my neck earlier this afternoon. Seems it was waiting on the roof waiting for me to walk under the eves. :o :D
That's a dandy Greg ;D ;D ;D
I ain't seen any down here :-\ :-\ :'( :'( :D :D
Heck, here I thought the slitherin' snow snake was just folklure. :D
Now you got living proof of the cryptid world. Good photo for the National Enquirer. ;D
That one would make the porcupine press for sure! You shoulda tried to tag it.
I hope you didn't get bit! :o That one looks like it might have crossed with a snow eel, kinda flat 'round the middle.
Dave
That is a big one. :o :o
Keep your camera handy cause the snow fleas should be out soon. ;D
Hey, did you guys hear that the snow snake has bested the Department of Defense? It reached up and bit the Sec. of Defense, breaking his shoulder.
Are ya going to eat it? Ive never tryed snake heard it taste like chicken.
I belive I read some place that you need to fry snow snake, as baking it leaves it a bit mushy. :)
I let this one go and am hoping it will catch the skunk that's taken up winter quarters in the shed ;) :)
He will be back ;)
Didn't you see him SJ Jr. ???
This a good recipe for cold weather Snow Snake. Take about 1# of fresh snow snake. Cut half into small cubes. Put rest into pot and reduce by 80%. let cool. This is where one can add or subtract but I like mine half & half. Put cool broth and remaining cubes of one snow snake plus one bottle of JD :o sit back and enjoy 8) 8) 8) Raider
Snow Snake would go well in a stone soup ;) ;D
One has crawled on to our skylight this afternoon!

He looks cold. You should let him in to thaw out.
As you all are working around your mills, watch out for the snow snakes, we don't need any broken bones!
Be careful out there!
