Milk Snakes are non venomous but they can pack a mean bite and draw blood! As first hand witnessed as a boy. These snakes can reach between 3-6 ft. long.
Interesting thing was this snake coiled up on me when in the grass and vibrated his tail just like a rattle snake! He struck at the stick I put near him!
I wanted to give depth to the stamens and in the end it reminds me of 6 little snakes poking their heads out of a green void.
Wikipedia: Commonly known as the keeled rat snake, Ptyas carinata is a species of colubrid snake. It is found in Indonesia, Myanmar, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Cambodia, Vietnam and Singapore. This little known species is probably the largest extant species in the diverse colubrid family that comprised just over half of living snake species. Known adult lengths of snakes of this species in Taiwan measured anywhere from 1.21 to 2.75 m (4 ft 0 in to 9 ft 0 in). However, the maximum reportedly size was about 4 m (13 ft 1 in). Males reportedly average slightly larger than females. They are probably opportunistic predators on a variety of prey, such as rodents, though adult lizards are thought to be significant prey in Indonesia.

Veteran car on display along Pall Mall, London, on the eve of the London to Brighton Veteran car Run 2025. I forgot to note the details of the vehicle but I think it is a 1904 Renault.
These are common snakes, but I always like seeing them. I found this one on a recent trip to visit my aunt and uncle on their farm in eastern South Dakota, warming itself in a patch of sun on a cool September morning. (Thamnophis radix)

Didn't see any snakes in Chile, except for this empty copper concentrate train train snaking down the s-curves at Gaviota siding near Prat behind a pair of GT42ACs.
The anhinga (Anhinga anhinga), is sometimes called a "snake bird," because when swimming only the neck appears above water, so the bird looks like a snake ready to strike.
