Pinesnake (Pituophis melanoleucus) from Eastern Georgia. Although typically I find pinesnakes crossing or just off the road I came across this individual in a defensive posture in the road. Driving down the road I noticed a typical Honda CRV rural mailman swerve in the road, after noticing him swerve I saw a new object appear on that stretch of road which I instantly assumed was a writhing snake he/she had just hit. Upon approach I saw this unscathed juvenile or young adult Pinesnake ready to strike at my car.
