Visited some sugarcane fields of FL Sat. and found most of the "flippin'" sites I checked had been very recently visited. I then resigned myself to walking around the various ditches and canals that are there in hopes of seeing some snakes out and about.
We came across a pile of rocks that surely holds kings.
Next to it was a small stand of trees and of course a ditch along the road.
Looking down at my feet for a place to step (you have to be aware there are gators around),
I saw only a glimpse of a tail moving quickly beneath me.
I grabbed this little guy and took his pic in a more stable spot.
Obviously last year's baby.
We saw no adults, but did see a few racers.
Moving on we saw some of our competition at another site.
Looking closer, at least it wasn't a king! but a nerodia.
They surely take a hit from a lot of the predators down there.

Nice effort Mark. I sure do miss the herping down there. I have been in Chicago for about 3 months now and it is killing me. I sent a buddy of mine out to a few spots and he got lost but still found a Fl. king 2 reds and a yellow while being "lost". He is heading back out tomorrow to try again. I wish I could. At least someone is useing this forum thanks for the pics.
Thanks Jason
