Answer #1: Because the habitat is always greener on the other side.
Answer #2: So it could learn its name from a biologist passing by.
Thanks to Tim Anderson, environmental science teacher at Princeton High School, for the photo and email below. There's long been talk of putting "Turtle Crossing" signs along the driveway up to Mountain Lakes House. Here's another denizen of the woods whose wanderings sometimes intersect with asphalt.
"Biking up the road to the house at Mt. Lakes, ran into a couple trying to help a juvenile snake cross the road...It was so small we couldn't pick it up with fingers...but got it off the road while a car waited to pass. It matches this northern subspecies picture of ring-necked snake juvenile. It was about this size too." --Tim
