Tonight (10/21) I was walking out of the reptile building here in north Florida around 9pm or so when I spotted this little critter laying right underneath the doorway:
Right pretty looking, isn't it!
Probably around 10 to 11 inches long, I would guess. I just snapped a few photos and then set him loose in the leaves near where he was prowling when I spotted him.
It's bad enough we have to watch where the heck we walk every night so we don't step on the toads running around, so now we have to be alert for scarlet king snakes as well.
The other day I almost stepped on a small glass lizard laying in the pathway. Man, you gotta love living in Florida....
