Guess the locality (warning DOR photo)

Where do you think this corn was found?

It doesn't look like our Carolina DORs. (except for being flat and squished :o ) "Ours" look like a 'typical' corn. That resembles a Miami phase, looks a lot like a w/c I caught in south Geogia. But don't tell anyone... you know the cornsnake laws in Georgia!

I'll guess KY.

:cool:

[Dwight Good]

I'm going to guess western SC or NE GA.

Basically any guess is a crapshoot... since these guys are sooo variable throughout their range.

This animal was found in Hall Co. GA (Lake Lanier)

This was part of the reason I posted the photo. I am amazed you got as close as you did. There are some in the mountains of GA that have a dark blue/grey background with deep beautiful orange and hardly and dark overwash, they are only about an hour from these. And of course, there are the "Okeetee" animals from the coastal areas and the Tampa Bay looking animals from Okeefenokee......most people have no idea how much these animals can vary from locale to locale.

Looks very much like a corn I found in Port Charlotte, Florida

That's a sad picture though, i hate to look at a corn snake like that.:(

[Iris]

me too :(
I remember a while back someone posted a photo of a gravid female who had been run over and she'd still been alive when the person found her.
:(

I hate it too, I am to the point now where
I don't even run that road anymore. There is
so much traffic that on a good night you are
going to find a couple of corns and a mole king
DOR not to mention the multiple copperheads,
watersnakes, black rats, and others and as
much as I like knowing they are still there, it's
too much to ALWAYS find them dead

I see dead cornsnakes constantly on the roads where I live, which is north of West Palm Beach, Florida. This includes alot of gravid females during July and August. I cut one DOR female open about three weeks ago and tried to save the eggs. However, the eggs went bad not too long after. With all the cornsnakes that I've seen runover, I beleive road fatalities put a huge dent into the cornsnake populations in some areas.

I've seen a few animals with near solid grey backgrounds come out of Calvert County, Maryland. Seems like about 30% of them have that.

I said to myself "Georgia" as soon as I saw that pic.
But not because of the cornsnake...

The composition of the pavement aggregate suggested it to me.
Here in SE FL there is a lot more crushed limestone, much less granite or none at all.
