Snake in a...
Here's a mystery: when Meg and I were at Myakka River State Park this weekend, we took a cruise along the park road. Along the way, we stopped briefly to gawk at a very large, very orange rat snake (3+ feet long) who was curled up in the middle of the road. When I stopped the car, the snake started moving - toward us. I watched its body creep slowly underneath the body of my car, and Meg watched for it to come out the other side. But it never did. After several minutes of waiting, it still hadn't emerged on the other side. I gingerly opened my door, stepped out (rat snakes aren't poisonous, but I'd rather not get bitten, thanks), and ducked down to look under the car.
No snake.
I walked all the way around the car, looking into the tires, into the grass and the ditch, up and down the road - nothing. We decided that there were two possible options: either it got away by turning invisible or it decided to climb up into my car and take a ride. I like to think that it took a ride.
