He will join us or die
Just a few pics of a wc Horry County, South Carolina male. He was not kept and left to live his days at my Mom's barn. Enjoy

Horry County...okeetee's don't live there...they can only come from the Okeetee plantation.... :sidestep:
 
How big was this guy? I love how outlined his saddles are. Beautiful snake.

Great find Camby! Love the wide black outline on the saddles!

He devfinitely had some nice bordering going on. Who knows, maybe I'll see him again around there someday.

I'd make a guess of about 4ish feet or so. That's a beautiful snake. I love normal looking corns!

Pretty close, he was about 4'-3" long

Sorry Matty, you aren't getting close to my house...no way! See, you can come down and maybe we will see some stuff. I almost always see copperheads, rattlers and rat snakes. Corns are not always seen.

Yeah, one of my better signatures.

Yeah, he had the makings of an OKeetee, maybe his future babies in that location will get the trait from dad.

Can I verify the sex while you hold it for me?

Not no but HECK no you can't check the sex. I am just thankful we have never went rock or burmeese python hunting before. With you "field sexing" I would likely have lost an arm!

Lol, its not like I'd walk outta the snake house with anything in my pockets, I swear it! It would be fine if we didnt see any corns, I'd just be glad to see some other herps besides skinks, swifts, and the occasional black rat....

I'm still upset you wouldn't let me field sex a gator when we went catch those!
 
thats a great find. good size. i love that one saddle with the whitish scales making an x almost. its the first pick on the bottom half of him. awesome snake for herping find. i wanna come down south and herp sometime. nothing too exciting up here.
 
Now we're talking....you aren't a real herper until you do that!

I was always told you weren't a true herpetologist until you "give birth" to a botfly.

Personally, I don't like growing large, painful parasites. I guess I'll always be considered a hobbyist by some then.....lol.

Guess I don't make the cut then....but I have popped them out of small mammals before...does that get me close.....or make me a mammalogist?

is that the deerfly larve possibly? ive had one popped out of my shoulder blade before or something of the sort. it was after spending a long time working outdoors by a swamp with tons of brush. i was used to getting jagged by thorns, and felt a sharpness but never thought anything, blood washes off. a week later my mom said it looked like i had an infection and my sister in law, shes a P.A., popped it and it was bug larve of some kind she said.

would that be a botfly. not that, that would make me a herper. i have a lot more lifers and experiences to fulfill before i ever say that.
