Hello again--
Speckled kings are found around Shelby County. Last summer I found one under a vending machine near a public park in Memphis!
I herp along the river off of Bird Song Road, up into Camden following Hwy. 69-A into Big Sandy. Lots of BIG black rat snakes, black and silver corn snakes, and a few black king snakes every now and again.

One of my favorite places to look for herps is Natchez Trace State Park (Caroll Co.)--great camping as well. Once it gets warm, it gets snakey--especially around the lakes. I was pretty excited to find a pygmey rattler there two summers ago on one of the more isolated wooded trails. Some interesting looking pine snakes in that area as well.

rgds,
althea
