Ran into one basking in the sun on the green at a small private golf club in Dublin NH - of all places - I thought St Patrick had driven these snakes out of Dublin - er - oops - wrong country! Anyway - he was about 3 feet long and stretched out sunning...moved pretty quickly (away from us and the green) when the ball rolled toward him. It is said - many live in and around the Monadnock Region.
