I realize this is an old post but I have to say that Kara seems pretty typical of reptile folks. About a month ago I pulled over to get a fairly large gopher out of the road. It was dark and I waved my arms at on coming traffic to slow them down. Then I did something really stupid. I turned back to the gopher. As it turns out the on coming car did NOT see me and I literally came inches from catching a grand am with by backside and it swooshed by at 30 miles an hour. Even stranger (since I don't have a death wish) is that the only thing I was thinking was "OH_____ ," and "DON'T HIT IT"

It definitely gave me pause. The things I learned were, A. I need to get a snake hook for the car and B. NEVER EVER EVER TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE TRAFFIC.
