Thanks to all of those that have inquired on the status of our KY locale northern pine snake project. We are happy to report that we were fortunate enough to get one clutch of eggs this season. This was from a coupling of our cave region pine snake bred to one of our west KY specimens. We will most likely hold a couple of snakes back and donate the rest to some of the zoo's and educational facilities in the state to help raise public awareness of this species in our state and to promote conservation efforts.


I have posted photo's of these snakes on here before but for those that may not have seen them here they are again. The top photo is male snake from the cave region and the lower photo is from the Tennessee Valley population in west KY.

Will and I have been in the field searching for additional stock this year but to no avail. For those of you that have an interest in these snakes in the wild I have included a small selection of photo's of species that share the same habitat with pine snakes in KY that we have found along the way this year while striking out so far lol!

Corn snake

Copperhead
