I saw my first and only scorpion in the old Medicine Hat train station in mid-December lol , it was -20 C outside , there was a hole in the floor and this small light brown scorpion was right beside it . I don't know if anyone believed me when i told them what i had just witnessed .
Another odd sighting was in the souther interior of BC at the end of March with snow in patches , there was a long snake at the side of the road . I couldn't believe it seeing how it was still so chilly . It was a bull snake that had it's head squashed , the rest was ok so i took it and skinned it later . It's burrow must have been a warm one for it to be able to be out and about give the cold weather .
Glad to see so many people interested in the rare critters we have , gotta keep their habitat undisturbed .
