Last night just after sunset after just over a year and a half of searching, ANF threw me a bone and gave up my #1 target for the area.

Year = made. Elation would be an understatement.

Re: ANF let me in on it's secret.
We tried for one of these, in that general area, in March. Got a pine instead. Didn't realize the moles were so difficult there!
Great find, it's a gorgeous animal. I'm a wee bit jealous, being a calligaster nut.

Great find man, maybe I can have the same luck next time I'm down there.

I'm kind of shocked you didn't throw it on the road and run it over. Isn't that what you do with most of the other snakes you find?

It's an inside joke. He finds a lot of roadkill. I accuse him of running them all over.MCHerper wrote:?justinm wrote:I'm kind of shocked you didn't throw it on the road and run it over. Isn't that what you do with most of the other snakes you find?

Josh only runs over Corn snakes. Him and them have a past as checkered as the animals' bellies.

Btw, Nice find!

Re: ANF let me in on it's secret.
Wow, that's a purty Corn Snake...I've never seen one that's quite that red everywhere. Course, I'm a kingsnake guy, so I don't know much about all them Corn morphs... Now, if it was a king of some kind I could name it real quick...I'm like a "mole" that way, I dig up info...
Re: ANF let me in on it's secret.
Are these rare or Hubbscommon? Can anyone expound on the issue?
Re: ANF let me in on it's secret.
Eight known from Louisiana, last one in 1990.
