Desert Kingsnake

My husband was cleaning up some junk left behind one of our recently vacated rent houses while I was inside working. I didn't even have my cell phone with me, so when he called me outdoors to look at this snake, all I could think to do was put the snake into my empty mop bucket until I could get my camera. I couldn't figure out what it was. My snake guide books were at CMO. So I posted it on iNat and soon had the ID. It's a Desert Kingsnake. It was about 12-18 inches long but they can get much bigger. It obviously had eaten recently so I'm sure it'll be fine until it finds its next meal.


CMO tomorrow. YAY!

    My goodness, that's gorgeous! (Of course, that's only what I'd say if I saw a handbag or a pair of heels made out of it, and not what I'd say if I came across it alive in the garden! 😱)

    I thought it was really a gorgeous snake too! I'd never seen one and was thrilled!
