The turn of the millennium was not kind to the snakes.

Herpetologist Chris Reading and his team have been counting snakes through their own surveys and looking at population data going back to 1987 to see what’s happening to snake populations. The alarming findings, to be published soon in Biology Letters, indicate that most of the species studied saw a great decrease in population, with the greatest loss between 1998 and 2002.....

I read the full article. It was interesting, thanks Kenny. With some types of them declining as much as ninety percent, it seems like there is quite a serious concern as to what is happening.

I like snakes.

Marc, lovely photos of a very beautiful being. Thank you. S/he looked quite comfortable and at home on that chair. It is wonderful that the snake was successfully relocated to a National Park for a more suitable home, without any harm.
