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.  

Beautif creatures...

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.
