Eastern Milk Snake!

justingos Aug 07, 2010 12:37 AM

First milksnake I've found (alive) in 5 years! I did find one DOR specimen earlier this year in Rabun County, GA, but this was the first live one in awhile. Crossing a road in Oconee County, SC earlier tonite (August 6th) about 10:40pm. Catch-and-release. Sorry the photo looks so artificial, but the highways in this area are loaded with drunk and reckless drivers. I usually catch the animals in a tupperware container and then take them off to side of road for pics. This is for my safety and for the animal.

Also pictured:

A copperhead found crawling around a campsite at a state park in Greenville County,SC. This little guy was blind in one eye and on his last limb (if he had any, LOL).
