Prasad Gowder was driving by the University of Manitoba's Smartpark Friday when he saw something strange lying in the middle of the road — a large leopard-printed snake. A large snake was spotted by a number of Winnipeggers near the University of Manitoba on Friday night. (Submitted/Margaret Kapinga)Gowder went back to the area to take a better look at the snake, and even then it hadn't moved. "I didn't know what it was or how fast it could move," he said of the 24-30 inch, or 60-76 centimetre-long snake. She said his interaction with the snake lines up perfectly with the Hindu snake festival Nag Panchami that some people in India celebrate.
