![]() ![]() Most collectors should be ok with what’s on display here. With 3M paneling like this, the QC on the cuts and paneling is going to be a little rough, but otherwise the shoe seems to be a very decent level of quality. All the 3M used here is definitely bright and plentiful! The swoosh leather seems decent overall. The black leather they are using seems to be soft and somewhat plush and does evoke that quality feel, with a bit of tumble to the finish. There is also a snakeskin print with some slight texture applied to the smooth leather on the swoosh. The upper here is leather and 3M including the leather tongue. Other than that, not too much going on with this sneaker. These don’t ship with a deubré but they do include black flat laces. These come in the black AF1 box which usually indicates a higher quality release. The Nike Air Force 1 B 3M Snake is a direct retro of a 2001 co.jp release in a similar vein to the Hong Kong and Wheat Mocha AF1. Here we have another black box AF1 indicating some kind of premium element to the shoe.

Funding for the DOD-wide project was again available for 20, with DOD bases nationwide, including Arnold AFB, participating. Unfortunately, a gray rat snake sampled on base in 2018 tested positive for the fungus. Arnold AFB is participating in the study by capturing snakes on base, taking samples by swabbing their bodies, and submitting them to a central laboratory for analysis. ![]() Recognizing the benefits of snakes and the potential loss posed by this emerging pathogen, the Department of Defense initiated a nationwide study to determine its prevalence. The effects can cause more frequent shedding of the skin, which burns energy and can sometimes cause lesions around the eyes and/or nostrils, affecting their ability to hunt. Some of the typical symptoms include lesions, flaking and swelling of the skin. Snakes are currently under threat from an emerging fungal pathogen called Ophidiomyces ophiodiicola, or more simply called Snake Fungal Disease. copperheads, rattlesnakes, and cottonmouths) and will eat them and other snakes. King snakes are actually immune to pit viper venom (e.g. Aquatic snakes help maintain healthy fish populations by weeding out sick fish before others can be infected. They also benefit humans directly by eating rodents that cause property damage, spread infectious diseases and damage crops. It is important to remember that snakes serve an important ecological function. There is no set rule for when a venomous snake will dry bite, so always seek medical help if you are bitten. The snake needs its venom to capture food, so there are costs associated with injecting venom for defensive purposes. Sometimes venomous snakes don’t inject any venom when they bite. Copperheads live in a variety of habitats and will take cover under scattered wooden boards, tin sheets and other debris. The copper-colored head and cat-like pupil are good distinguishing characteristics of the copperhead. Other snakes, like water snakes, will flatten their head, making it look broader, and many harmless and beneficial snakes are killed because they are misidentified as copperheads. The head is much wider than the neck, a feature of the pit vipers. The copperhead has brownish crossbands on a tan-to-orangish body and is well-camouflaged amongst fallen leaves on the forest floor. ![]() The only venomous snake that has been found on Arnold AFB is the northern copperhead. If that doesn’t dissuade the threat, they will roll over and play dead. Hognose snakes will also flare out the skin around their head and neck similar to a cobra. Some snakes, like the eastern hognose snake can also be mistaken for rattlesnakes based on coloration. They do occur in areas not too far from the base where there is appropriate habitat. Timber rattlesnakes have never been documented on base, most likely because there is not good habitat here for them. Many of the larger-bodied snakes, like gray rat snakes, will shake their tails in leaf litter when disturbed and are easily mistaken for rattlesnakes. This may scare off predators such as skunks or foxes but usually gets them killed by people. It is not venomous, but if threatened will coil, fill its lungs with air and make a loud bloodcurdling hissing sound while shaking its tail like a rattlesnake. The pine snake is a large-bodied snake that can grow up to 6.5 feet long. The rarest of these is the Northern pine snake, which is listed as a threatened species in Tennessee. Twenty-one species of snakes are known to reside at Arnold Air Force Base. By John Lamb, AEDC Facility Support Services ![]()
