Snakes, among other wild animals, are the true inhabitants of the forests. Having encountered these terrifying creatures is no strange among hikers. During my climb to Kolkol Ridge in San Miguel, Maramag, Bukidnon, three species of whip snakes got in my way. These are small yet long species of snakes. Write ups say these snakes are under a family of vine snakes which are venomous ones. But since we are intruding their place, let's not harm them. If they're blocking our way, let's look for another way.
