This just in from Houston Road: Snakes arc out crawling. One reader killed two Tuesday afternoon. David Riddle, former nature program director at FENCE, said it is not unusual when the weather warms up in winter for snakes who have been hiberna ting to wake up and move around. They will go back into hibernation once the tempera ture drops, unless it drops so quickly that they do not make it back to shelter. Unlike some animals who hibernate by an internal clock, staying in their burrows a set period of time, snakes respond to temperature to determine the length of their winter’s nap. However, until the tempera tures range up to the 70s, even the snakes who do awaken will remain sluggish, Riddle said. Riddle says he always attempts to calm people's fears about snakes. Even when the reptiles get back to full power this summer, they won't be chasing after people, he said. (Continued On Back Page) TRYON.
