The alternative was a couple of dead snakes... In my mind a 2 mile trip up the road to preserve the life of the animals should be seen as a noble cause.

Re: What snake challenged you the most?

I have to echo Paul and say the Milksnake. I caught a Louisiana milk snake in the early 90's. I moved to Pa in 96 and searched without any results. However this year alone I'm up 3. They are abundant in Pa, but I couldnt find one. Here's one. http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j231/98frontier/IMG_894...
