My first thought was that it is a stick, but then I saw that it's moving.

When you look at the snake picture, you can clearly see the rocky railway embankment which attracts all kinds of lizards and snakes.
I never saw more snakes on single road then on these ones.
Is that possibly because their more natural environments have been destroyes by humans? The old rail line might be one of the only places left for reptiles to soak up some sun in the area.
There are few, but I have to admit that the rail line is like island in the see of fields.
And some argue that there aren't any "natural" environment left after 1000 years of human activity here. (Even researchers say that very few places that wasn't touched are left)
I can confirm that the same thing happens without the rocky embankment...
@Kecessa @plactagonic dirt paths in australia have good numbers of snakes, I tink observations of snakes are just common.
