[Moo] Snakes in Atlantia

[Maven]

While due caution is advisable, you are far more likely to have a "false 
alarm" encounter with one of the scary-looking but harmless snakes. Be 
alert, be careful, don't bother the snakes and they'll probably slither 
away as fast as they can. (They're scared of YOU, too!)

I can take 'em or leave 'em, but I'd just as soon not meet a live 
copperhead in its native habitat. Fortunately there hasn't been a 
confirmed copperhead sighting in Winchester in decades. (I can't speak 
for outlying areas or other parts of the kingdom....)

This is a good warning for anyone outdoors. As the temperatures warm up, 
take appropriate cautions. -Ii

The rising temperatures have started encouraging snakes to come out and 
do what snakes do. The following links are to snake identification sites 
for each state in Atlantia. Please take some time to familiarize 
yourself in case you have an encounter.
