I was wondering if anyone is doing any field herping in Charlotte County Florida? I walk with my dogs almost every day, and cover a lot of ground on my bike too. I've seen some awesome corn snakes, including one that appeared to be a Butter. My latest sighting was an adult corn that was very dark brown with dark burgundy colored saddles. I've seen sub-adults here with the same color pattern, and the colors are muted almost like the snakes were about to shed. Anerys are common to the south of us and Pine Island isn't too far, where the Charcoals are said to be found. I saw one smaller sized Anery last month.

Within the past 3 years I've seen Legless lizards, Brahminy Blind snakes, an awesome Yellow Rat snake, Ringneck snakes, Ribbon snakes, Garter snakes, Coachwhips, lots of Black Racers, a Scarlet Kingsnake, Banded Watersnake, and two Diamondback Rattlers. A few more I haven't identified yet. I haven't taken any snakes from the wild, but I may capture a few to take pictures and release them where I found them. (except the rattlers)
