Awesome thanks guys!! I one day want and eastern being from NC and all, can't ever find them though! He/she is beautiful though

 

[sdavis2]

Is there any real difference between a Floridian King and a brooks??

 

[Dragonling]

A few years ago brooksi was lumped into floridana and is "officially" considered a locality instead, but many breeders still treat it as a separate species.

First thing that popped into my head was a peanut butter brooksi

 

[Nanci]

Weren't brooksi the really yellow southern florida type?

I'd love to find ANY king snake in the wild, here.

 

[sdavis2]

Well in that case I think I'll name him/her Brooks!!

LOL come to the Nashville area of Tennessee. We catch Eastern Kings here all the time. You can find them almost anywhere.

My brooksi is a high yellow and nothing like that. I know when I was searching for brooksi years ago the peanut butter and jelly morphs really stuck out.

I did see a 3 ft northern water snake last week by the dock. Talking about excitement !!! haha

Here's one from my grandparents' farm outside of Savannah, GA. Was my lifer chain king, even after spending 10 years in SC. Sadly, I've never visited my grandparents with any frequency (my father didn't exactly get along with his in-laws). But even then, I spent enough late springs and early summers there that I should have seen much more snake wise. Sadly, all I've got is the king, a yellow rat snake (which aren't even yellow rats anymore), a couple different water snakes, a black racer, and a beast of a 4-4.5ft corn.

I want to say you have maritime garter snakes up there I think. But that's going off the top of my head and not doing my due diligence via google or field guides within arms reach.

EDIT: Bwuahaha...I thought it was only 2, maybe 3, but apparently Maine has 9 species!

Yeah years ago I was also shocked to see we have 9 native snakes HAHA
It was a Northern water snake I saw but have also seen many garters, a couple of ring necks and a Eastern Milk Snake adult. Also years ago a bunch of hatchling Eastern Milks around a friend's front porch. Mom must of laid her eggs under it.
Would love to see a Black Racer here !!!

Ah I need to, where I'm at I mostly find black racers and black rat snakes. I know we have kings and corns but I've yet to find one.
