They also hide themselves in the open quite well because their coloration blends in with the environment. Right now, I've noticed they are a little lethargic from hibernation; that is why Karen came so close to stepping on the snake. In the rural back roads of Georgia and South Carolina during the spring season, we will kill the huge ones and nail them to a Highway Dept. road sign to remind people to walk cautiously this time of year and, of course, wear long pants and snake boots in the woods. Hikers here this time of the year carry snake bite kits with them. <br /><br />Hope the wait lines are not too bad for you at the border.
