Brown Snake Encounter During Saturday Morning Hiking



I cannot remember ever having seen a large brown snake in the wilderness of New Jersey before today's hike.

Yet,  that was what my son and I encountered earlier today while hiking.

In fact,  I almost stepped on it.  Not paying close enough attention to where I was walking,  it suddenly seemed like the stick next to my foot moved.  I instinctively moved away,  and saw a large (large for this part of the country,  anyway) brown snake raising it's head as if to strike.

Here are some pictures of our memorable experience:
