Index of Subjects It sounds like a Green snake. Post-mortem changes cause a loss of the yellow pigmentation, with colour reverting to anything from a soft to metallic blue. Andrew Hebda Nova Scotia Museum >>> AngelaJoudrey <aljoudrey@eastlink.ca> 9/8/2011 3:16 pm >>> I am late in posting this. On Monday ( Labour Day )while running along Chester Road, I stopped for a snake that had been hit and was dead on the road. I picked it up ( not very squashed ) to set it in the ditch and was surprised at how blue it was underneath. The snake was less than a foot long, slender, dark dark grey- but not black, and a beautiful blue underneath. I checked the Natural History Museum website on Snakes in NS, but none there seemed to fit what I found. Any ideas? There was also many many many many reddish brown furry caterpillars crossing the road. They had one speed, super fast. They were a few cm long. And they were on a mission. To get to the other side? To build a cocoon? Any ideas as to which ones they were? There were not the wooly bear, there was definitely not any black on any of them. Thanks Angela in Windsor
