Corn snake along the way....

Heck, the wife and I just decided to take a short drive to the grocery store tonight to pick up a couple of things. Actually, we were out of popcorn, so I guess it was kind of an emergency situation. Anyway, only a short way out of the driveway, I slammed on the brakes of the Jeep because there was a good size corn snake laying in the middle of the dirt road. I got out and took a closer look at it. About 4 foot long, good shape, fair looking, but not one of mine. I just gave him a scolding for laying out in the road like that and then scooted him off the road so we could continue on our way. It was about 10 of 9 PM, warm and muggy out after having scattered showers off and on earlier today.

Darn shame I didn't have the camera, but who takes a camera to the grocery store?
 
Amature lol, you should always have a digi. cam in the car. Not to mention a pillow case in the event you should find a piebald, patternless, luecistic corn ect. it could happen.Did you ever find any Maryland corns when you where living up here? I can't find one to save my life.
 
Yeah, I found a few down in Calvert and St. Marys Counties, but not very many. Nearly all of them were uglier than dirt. The first "corn snake" I caught as a kid up near Lock Raven reservoir turned out to be a brilliant red colored eastern milk snake. Gorgeous animal!

We had another corn prowling around here several weeks ago. We gave him a mouse and then he went on his way. Seeing more wild corns lately than I have around here for years. One of my workers said he saw a pretty big diamondback slide into a gopher tortoise burrow on our property a couple of weeks ago.

With all the rain we've been getting lately, I'm surprised we don't see coral snakes about. We've found several of them here and there over the years.
 
I wish I lived in such a wilderness.. Finding Diamond backs on your property sounds awesome. Making snake photo's in the wild is my hobby.
