Pretty neat looking snake. All I see up here in MT, are rattlers, bull snakes, and garter snakes.

Beautiful!

I was a snake freak when younger and always dreamed of seeing a California king snake.  Moved out here and hiked all over this state never seeing one.  Went for a training hike with my then 1 year old son in the backpack as a "weight" and I see his little finger go out to my right a d hear him saying "ssssssssssss", dang kid spotted his first snake and my first and only California King.

That there snake is a real looker!  But only big enough to skin a pen-and-pencil set!

Yep Eastern Milk snake, they are really good looking snakes, if there is such a thing as one...Oh wait, unless it's skinned and on a bow!!! I'd let him go for a while and maybe catch him later...If you know what I mean   :saywhat:  . Nice find though and thanks for sharing.

Snakes don't bother me. Had a Burmese Python for a long time. Was just over 12' when he finally died.

Nice find. He would look great skinned out and used as the cresting for a primitive arrow.

the milk snakes are really beautiful when young, they darken up as they get older.  Makes a great kids pet and they will take newborn mice at that age without much effort.

Boy, that's a really beautiful snake!

All we have up north are garter snakes... kind of plain looking.
May your next adventure lighten your heart, test your spirit, and nourish your soul.
