I spend all my kingsnake time over in the pinesnake realm but I thought you all might enjoy this share. While driving down an old road in the thornscrub forest of southern Sonora my Brother yells out, "Big.... black.....snake.......stop!" He was in the back of our trusty trooper, none of the rest of us even saw it. After about ten minutes of searching Travis did a home base dive and came up with this beauty! We took about 300 pics.... I only slightly exagerate.....and then watched her cruz off into the brush in the direction she was headed prior to our rude interuption.

Great find! I only wish all of us were so fortunate. Thanks for sharing!
