Pink, blue, orange and even green rubber snakes have been spotted in the Snake River basin of northwestern Wyoming. The discovery was made recently by concerned dog-walkers along the popular "Dike" walkway that runs north and south along the Snake River in Jackson, WY. A local grassroots organization known as K.R.S.W. (Keep Rubber Snakes Wild) has erected public signage along the walkway to promote awareness and respect for the beautiful rubber creatures:
