Animal loves heat; animal no longer found at the northern edge of its (Northern Hemishpere) range; maybe the climate is getting colder? Nah, instead let’s look for a far less plausible reason.

[Little Pig]

Oh, and of course there’s no climate-related reason that a multi-colored ectothermic animal might be developing a greater percentage of the color that maximizes heat absorption.

North Carolina is welcome to ours. We won’t miss them at all. Plenty of other snakes around here.

Nc is close to dc....

Lots of impersonating serpents there...

[Vinnie]

And here I was taught many animals, certainly canines were color blind.
Guess they can discern 50 shades of grey.

[Islander7]

That Evolution fella sure is smart.

[uglybiker]

Don't worry. With gleauxbal warming they'll be in Nova Scotia before you know it.

[SampleMan]

Would anyone care to explain why a predator with zero experience with a coral snake would honor its threat?

[Maceman]

That’s a picture of a king snake, not a coral snake.

[Resolute Conservative]

Not a coral snake.

I have salt-and-pepper king snakes. They’ll kill and eat copperheads.
