I've never seen that before, and those are certainly good photos you shared. You mentioned the fact that your kingsnakes were on the decline, and matter of factly, here in Oklahoma's greencountry, it was pretty common to see a kingsnake easing around when I was young. They were always easy to identify, as they were a very glossy black with small green spots, like they'd gotten to close to a painter flicking his brush. But I'd say that I've not seen a kingsnake in more than 30 years now. <br /> As I remember the kingsnakes around dad's farm were very calm in every move and I could actually ease up close and touch them as they stopped to look around. Sad that they're gone, guess our human fears will be the end of them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15207067546006884612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7022216829037318291.post-70241923146742474822014-07-15T21:45:17.136-04:002014-07-15T21:45:17.136-04:00Followed the link from your flickr photo to get he...Followed the link from your flickr photo to get here ... great story and photos!Mikehttp://www.mister-toad.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7022216829037318291.post-819720110581025772013-07-28T14:50:18.004-04:002013-07-28T14:50:18.004-04:00do you mined telling me what camera you used for t...do you mined telling me what camera you used for this amazing moment?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7022216829037318291.post-27878930290106827692013-07-20T10:11:08.647-04:002013-07-20T10:11:08.647-04:00I love it!
