Found with smashed head in road. I like to think of myself as pretty knowledgeable as far as Lampropeltis is concerned. I came across this while biking. Ocala , FL , About 13" long. I can't figure out what it is. Someone please help?

I agree, a scarlet king. And a really nice one. Back in 1971 I lived in Ocala and I road hunted one like that, lots of beautiful yellow. I caught it, bagged it, when I got home, it was no where to be found. It was like an illusion. Was it really that yellow. I found that one, a little northwest of Ocala.
