I posted this on the generic kingsnake forum before I knew this forum exisited...

I spent a GREAT 24 hours in eastern KY (Daniel Boone forest region, on Sat eve and Sun morning). Lots of finds�including 2 live black kings and 1 young DOR. They were returned to the location of their capture.

This 41� male was gorgeous!
Found under tin at about 9AM, 50 degrees

Check that belly out!

This female was found at another location, about a mile from the first. She measured 35�
She did some bizarre defense posturing�she acted �normally� at first, musking, trying to get away�then froze in these strange positions.
