but your scarlet king not a scarlet king (Lampropeltis triangulum), it's a scarlet snake (Cemaphora Coccinea). Similar looking snakes, and often confused. Scarlet snakes are evil snake-egg eaters. Below is a pic of a scarlet king I found in 2003, in Glades County. In my experience, they are pretty common, and I find them usually when I am not looking for them.

Nice corn snakes. I had a couple from near Naples that smoked any other wild caught corn you've seen. They were like Okeetee and Miami corns all in one.
