Ah, didn't see your kingsnake question. That area has intergrades between the eastern black and the speckled king; you have to go down near Memphis to get pure speckleds. However, some individuals in the area, especially west of the Tennessee River, will be heavily marked like a speckled king. I can't think of any places out that way with concentrations of kingsnakes; I usually just see them on the road here and there. There are some places along US 79 in Paris where a lot of fill has been removed, which are starting to grow up; there are lots of big peices of limestone and assorted trash in these. I've always thought they looked like good kingsnake spots, but I haven't collected at any of them.

Sorry I couldn't be more help. Good luck!
