If Indiana Jones had seen this he would most certainly have turned around quickly.
Meredith Langley gushed about the snake-like object she had just seen in a Facebook post she shared with the South Carolina Hiking club.
It didn’t escape Langley’s attention how perfectly the snake mixed in with its natural habitat.
In her post, Langley wrote: “This was a good teaching opportunity and example for my own kids who forget not to run ahead of me on trails!”
A brown water snake (Nerodia genus), which is not deadly, was recognized as such by Greg Lucas, a biologist with the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources.
