This bull snake, affectionately known as wiggles, is spotted waiting by a gopher hole for his lunch recently on North Mesa. Snakes are out and about now and lifting spirits around Los Alamos, but if not appreciated or wanted, call police dispatcher 505.662.8222. They have a list of those who will relocate snakes. Please do not harm these hard working snakes helping to keep down the rodent population that can carry the hantavirus and the plague. Photo by Richard Macek
