Northampton County Eastern Kings

Tony D May 19, 2006 04:29 PM

Found five easterns 2.3 in Northampton Conty VA. This is the southern most county on the Delmarva Penninsula. Four of the five had among the most narrow bands that I've ever seen. Will be sending picks to hilson for his site. Perhaps he'll post them here soon.

Awesome Tony. I'd love to see some photos of those Eastern shore getula. I'm in Va. myself, not too far from Williamsburg.

Nice to see a good representation of Virginians here, I live in Virginia Beach.

Hey,

Dude, I'm jealous that all these fellas are pickin' up some awesome wild getula this season. Waddya say, next spring get in your car, head east, pick me up, and lets meet some of these fellas for some king snakein'.

Hell, I'll even drive from Buffalo through the coastal plain??? We'll start in Monmouth Co. NJ, and finish up in the N. Fla. region. I'm sure the wives will understand (LOL).

Thats interesting because just a few days after I found the big male down here I found another in the road that had just been run over and it too had the most narrow chain pattern I've ever seen on an eastern. Our farm is just a mile north of Northhampton County.

Wow, That is nice! Awesome specimen, that snake is super clean. Congrats on a real find.

Mark those bands are wide by comparison. When I initially flipped these I wasn't quite sure what they were but then I'm used to hunting in areas where wide banded specimens are the norm.

Hi Tony,

Can't wait to see 'em. You guys are finding some killer easterns out in the sticks this year. Man, am I envious.
