Pretty. It comes in colors everywhere, can't comb its hair.

The only way I would report one is if it was on someone else’s property, far away from mine.

Plenty of species disappear every single year, and have been doing so for millions of years. If we never see THAT particular combination of colors and stripes in person ever again, life on the planet will not crumble. Civilizations will not fall. Biomes will not explode. Climates will not shift.

I am very happy to have non-venomous snakes around, and this one looks quite attractive.

Carlin was right!

“See, I’m not one of these people who’s worried about everything. You got people like this around you? Countries full of them now: people walking around all day long, every minute of the day, worried… about everything! Worried about the air; worried about the water; worried about the soil; worried about insecticides, pesticides, food additives, carcinogens; worried about radon gas; worried about asbestos; worried about saving endangered species.

Let me tell you about endangered species all right? Saving endangered species is just one more arrogant attempt by humans to control nature. It’s arrogant meddling; it’s what got us in trouble in the first place. Doesn’t anybody understand that? Interfering with nature. Over 90% – over, WAY over – 90% of all the species that have ever lived on this planet, ever lived, are gone! Pwwt! They’re extinct! We didn’t kill them all, they just disappeared. That’s what nature does. They disappear these days at the rate of 25 a day and I mean regardless of our behaviour.

Irrespective of how we act on this planet, 25 species that were here today will be gone tomorrow. Let them go gracefully. Leave nature alone. Haven’t we done enough?”
