ROADKILL WANTED, MUST BE FRESH

It's for studyin', not eatin':

Roadkill is set to help scientists unlock the largely mysterious world of snakes in the far north of Western Australia.

David Pearson from the Department of Conservation and Land Management says venomous and whip snakes from the Kimberley are of particular interest.

"The thing is they're only useful when they are really fresh," he said.

Travellers are warned to make sure the snakes are dead before they collect them.

After I run over it three or four times it'll be dead.
