This sort of thing has never happened to me, so I wanted to share my snake encounter story of the day! :) We just had a heavy rainstorm come through in the past 2 hours (there's apparently a hurricane passing by?), and I was headed home when I noticed some debris in the road. I unthinkingly maneuvered my car so that I would drive over it, but right before I did I noticed it looked like coiled up black piping. I continued to drive before it hit me that it might've very well have been a snake!! Of course I turned around and headed back just to see if I was right, and lo and behold a 4-5ft. Northern Black Racer is right on the double yellow line! So what's a girl to do but pull over to the shoulder, get out her trusty umbrella and head back over to get that snake out of the road. It was a bit of a challenge because an umbrella isn't exactly the best hook (the first time I touched him with it he turned right around and grabbed it! Made me jump quite a bit, since he didn't seem all that active) but I was determined to get him out of the street so I managed to get him pointed towards the grass and during a break in the cars pushed him right across to safety. :) Unfortunately, it looked like he might've already been run over near the end of his tail because there was definitely some sort of prolapse going on, but I figured that a) getting him out of the street meant a better chance of survival and b) being run over until he died would have been terrible, so I didn't want to just leave him there.
People that were driving by were slowing down to watch me (I don't think it's very often that they see a girl wearing American Eagle-esque clothing standing in the rain with an umbrella to push a snake across a street, lol) and a couple of people smiled or gave me a thumbs up. I know I could've just driven on but what was the chance that someone else would drive by and help? I'm just happy I seemed to be in the right place at the right time, and hope the snake makes it. :D
