Snake sightings are up, but experts say just leave them alone

This gray rat snake found by John McKelvey in a shop at his home is one of those snakes that looks menacing, but actually does a lot of good things.

A Dadeville man had to be flown to Birmingham for treatment after a timber rattler bit him while he was trying to catch it near his home. He’s now at home and doing well.
