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.

also consider a bright jacket like joggers and other people were that got the reflective tape on it. have it wit hthe snake hoo kt omake sure you remember to put it on.. But that why I limit my snakes to ball pythons or smaller and if it larger it a 2 person rule minium. hte only snake I not worried about has been my rescued redtail boa she so tame I could pry her mouth open and tryot count teeth if i was brave enough to try lol..
