Hi all.
While on our way home from my son's Grandmother's house a couple days ago my boyfriend & I almost ran over a snake in the road.
When we backed up to move it (he thought it was a gray rat snake at first) he seen the rattles come up & realized what we had. The car coming up behind us almost got it at that point so Mike & I got it bagged & brought it home to decide where the best place to let it go would be.
We have Kingsnakes but have never dealt with hot snakes. My question is...do any of you helpful herpers know of anyone in Hernando County (Spring Hill) area that would take care of this beautiful snake for us? I do not want it destroyed! Just relocated.
Lastly...it looks very skinny for this time of year. It should be fat & getting ready for the winter. It doesn't look "bad" but still not fat & happy like it should be. What do ya think?

Any help would be appreciated. TerriBerri69@aol.com
