I've run over a few snakes as well, and it always just kills the night for me, no matter what we find. Two weeks ago I ran over a threadsnake in the road ... something I've only seen a handful of.

I caught sight of a perpendicular line in the road ahead of me. Sure enough, a western diamondback, and a big one, sucking up some road heat. I did my best to straddle it. I stopped, checked him out, and I had clipped about 1 inch of his tail, and 1 inch of his head. I've felt deeply regretful ever since.
