A feeble attempt on my behalf to update pics of some of my Iredell county N.C. getula. Anyone else ever notice how much easier it is to get pics of wild snakes than it is CB? This is my adult female. Should be ready to go in 06.

This will be her mate. As it was, a local snake guy had bought the Palmer and Braswell book on N.C. reptiles when it first came out and liked the looks of the snake in the pic that was in the book. He decided he wanted those snakes but he couldn't find any to buy. Being the good snake guy that he was he decided to find his own. It took him a few years since kings are not especially common in those parts from what I hear but after several trips he pulled a breeding project together.

A young adult male. I really like the contrast this locality has and though my pics don't show it, these snakes have well formed chain patterns if seen at the right angles. I need Keith to come down and give me a photo taking tutorial lol!

And a yearling female. I do wish the pics had more accurately porprayed what these snakes look like but hopefully you can get some idea. I plan on getting to the Carolina's next year to see some of these snakes in the field. Best to all! Phil
