you are exactly right about that feeling - just awesome, and something you never, ever forget.

There is a spot in LB that I would drive by all the time and I always wondered if there were any kings left there... I'd heard stories of great finds many years ago but I figured with all the development in the city and surrounding areas that all the snakes were long gone.
One day - with wife and baby in the car, I made a split second decision to stop at that spot and just take a quick look.
With the wife complaining and baby getting antsy I made a quick dash through a fence and under the third log I rolled was this king!!! A hatchling of that same year. I couldn't believe it! That was it. I was totally hooked. That experience really spoiled me because I found that snake so quickly and easily...

I've found more with time but they have all taken A LOT of work and energy.... But the ones I've found have all been very well worth it.
