There was an article posted today by Jay Jones on the Los Angeles Times that really captured my attention! The arrival of warmer weather to the plains of central Manitoba, Canada, brings along with it a bunch of snakes that have been sheltered in their limestone bedrock during the cooling temperatures. For every female, dozens of males wrap around her to get a chance to mate. Poor female! Turns out that these snakes are harmless during this time because they are so busy with hooking up with a female, they, disregard human interference. However, one must always take precautions because they may bite but it’s really just a nip. These busy snakes must work efficiently because their mating season is a short one. After two or three weeks, the females move back to the marshes to spend the summer and hatch their eggs!
