juvenile, about 2 feet long
Beautiful
Found this little guy under a flower pot
Inadvertently picked up with leaf litter along a creek in pine swamp.
Out for a late night slither.
This was found in an area in Northeast NC near Alligator River, where specimens had been called Coastal Plain Milksnakes. It is sort of a hazy in beteen area between Eastern Milksnake and Scarlet Kingsnake areas. The head and neck markings are not quite like typical Scarlet Kingsnakes. See also belly pattern.
