I once spent some time in northeastern North Carolina along the coast looking for broad banded eastern kings I was told could be found along route 158. Never did find any.
Also spent some time on Hatteras looking for "sticticeps" but of the several kings I did find there, nothing even came close to resembling the text book description of that animal. Also looked around on Okracoke Island, but never found anything except for a lone black racer.
Found some really sharp looking eastern kings in Calvert county in Maryland that were blue-black in color with yellow banding.
Always liked finding eastern kings, and they are so variable all across their range to make them quite interesting critters to look for.
