I found this guy in early August on the road near my home. If he hadn't been on the road, maybe I wouldn't have bothered him, but I see quite a few of these after they've been run over. When I see a live one on the road, I grab him. Not that I really think it does any good in the big picture, but I'd hate to see him alive while I was walking one direction and see him dead a few minutes later on my return walk home. I have a couple of other pictures of this guy in my gallery.

Finding this guy might have been what pushed me over the edge into snake ownership. I kept him for about a week because I wanted to show him to a friend who'd never seen a speckled kingsnake. My friend never got around to visiting, and I put him in some woods somewhat near where I found him.
