I got a call that there was a snake up at the library in town. I was out riding my motorcycle and just stopped by thinking it was going to be a bull snake or some other obviously native Iowan snake. Well, I find what I thought was a corn snake, which should not be loose in Iowa. I bring him back home and look up pictures of native snakes and find the fox snake is pretty darn similar. If he's a wild snake I'm going to freak out a little, I don't just go picking up wild snakes, and he was very calm and in perfect condition!
I really hope he's a corn snake so I don't feel like an idiot for picking up a protected species
Can you take better pic of the face in better lighting? That would be a dead give away if you could! Thanks!
I'll work on it. The head was what threw me off. It's more or less solid colored, his eyes are yellow, not sure that means anything. Gosh dang it, figures he's a wild snake. At least he won't get murdered by people that are freaked out. I'll take him far out of town tomorrow morning and let him loose.
Good stuff. I've never ridden a sports bike, but I've been riding the heck out of my 750 shadow lately. I don't think I've been in my car for over two weeks now.
I take it you all won't be at the St. Louis show this weekend? (hey it's not THAT far)
