That is interesting Phil. Is it that the upland areas are more vegetated ? What about the differing habitats is different ? Any size difference ?

>>Something I find interesting. There seems to be a close association with habitat and the amount of pattern on Black King snakes. There are some exceptions as with just about any wild population of snakes but for the most part those from well drained upland areas tend to be very dark with little or no pattern like this specimen from the Ky knobs.
