The Blaine County Journal News-Opinion - We've Got The County Covered

"South of the Border" columnist Steve Edwards displays a snow snake he recently found in the front yard where he lives in Whitlash. While not often seen, the reclusive reptile seems to be most active in early spring when the drifts and snow piles it lives in begin to disappear. This specimen believed by locals to be a 'mature adult' snow snake was just over three feet long. Unless they pose a hazard to a family or livestock, snow snakes should be left alone as they help reduce the number of rodents during the winter months.
