Look who I found on my back porch when I was watering this morning!
Juvenile Common Kingsnake
This little beauty is about eighteen inches long and has strikingly beautiful markings. He does not, however, like to be watered.
I feel so fortunate—I have Leo, the big kingsnake, in my guest room, and now this little guy hanging out in the backyard, at least for a while. Here’s a video of him trying to escape the photographer. He also sidewinded a little, but I didn’t get it on pixels.

You have a king snake living in your house? How cool is that! Must keep the mouse population down.
ReplyDeleteIn my guest room... see the previous post!
ReplyDeleteWWhat a cutie! And he looks longer than 18".
ReplyDeleteA snake charmer. Love the video. SKF
ReplyDeleteI like that... "snake charmer." He was. And no doubt still is.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful snake!
ReplyDeleteYes, he was gorgeous. I saw an adult with the same markings the other day, zipping across my bird garden. Maybe it was a parent.
