Snake Advocate & Conservationist Matt Ellerbeck (AKA The Snake Man) talks about the conservation and welfare of snakes.
This is The Yellow-Spotted Millipede, Quite an extraordinary insect because they secrete a cyanide compound in self-defense, So you better not lick your hands or put your fingers in your mouth after handling them. Else your looking into a pretty bad sickness, these bugs occur in coastal Washington, Oregon, and northern California. It ranges northward up the Pacific Coast from the vicinity of Big Sur, Monterey Co., Calif., through British Columbia, Canada, to the southernmost islands in the Alaska panhandle -- Revillegigedo (where Ketchikan is), Prince of Wales, Annette (where Metlakatla is) and Dall islands. A pretty insane insect so be on the watch for them!

Once I reached the entrances there were thousands upon thousands of snakes. They were slithering, basking, climbing, and mating. Some spots were literally carpeted in these reptiles. The ground just moved with activity. The areas adjacent to the entrances were also covered in snakes. Literally every step taken there were more snakes encountered. They covered the ground! I had to watch and make sure I didn't step on them. I spent hours at the sites just observing the masses of reptiles.
