By Rick Steelhammer In an "alarming discovery," a snake in Kanawha County has tested positive for a deadly disease spreading throughout the eastern United States, the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources announced Monday. The young eastern milk snake was found by a Kanawha County property owner who recognized that the crusty scales and abrasions visible on its head could be symptoms of snake fungal disease. "This is an alarming discovery," said Kevin Oxenrider, a wildlife biologist at the DNR's regional headquarters in Romney.
