Nice finds Charles. The second picture, showing the habitat is good. I always like to see where they live.

I'd like to see them Charles, if you can get them out of your camera!

Nice photos Charles. Here's a Mole Kingsnake I removed from the road and relocated in the woods here at the house.



My last find was a young Black Racer, no time to get a picture of that one. He was in too much of a hurry.

Charles,
It looks like an awesome hour of herping! Who would have thougt to look for a snake 8' up in a tree? Did you see it enter?

Sid,
I bet there aren't any self-respecting mice within a mile of your place with all those snakes lurking in your woods . Thanks for sharing your pictures,

Rick,
You are correct. I rarely see wild rodent of any kind here. That wasn't true 35 years age though. They were everywhere. Someone you now know relocated tons of Black Rat Sankes and King Snakes into our community .

Here's a juvinile Black Rat- Elaphe obsoleta

All these pictures are awesome! I need to staple my camera to my forehead or something! I never seem to have it where I'm field herping! We call the yellow-bellied racer a Blue Racer out here, but it's the same snake. We saw a big female, several lizards(Fence), a beautiful Spotted King snake, and several 5 lined skinks day before yesterday. But did I have my camers? NNNOOOO!! Darn me!
