Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Need advice on King Snakes in N. Florida
I have caught or seen many Florida Snakes. Even if they were dead on the road I at least saw one. I have never seen an Eastern King or Florida King in the 20 years I have lived in this state.

Well I went road cruising last night
We came across 1 Corn snake (About a year old) BEAUTIFUL ORANGE!
Water snakes and Ribbon snakes mostly however I was a few seconds late on a Mud Snake (Pink belly markings) It was still moving but not in good shape.

Ya know...ive read alot of different books and things saying where to look for kings...and ive never seen em in those spots...
I have a fishing spot back in the marsh...and one day, we and my brother-in-law were paddling around in there, and actually we made our way out the mouth of the inlet that we fish in...when i see this thick snake hauling across the water, we paddled over, and much to my pleasant suprise, it was a 6 and a half foot florida kingsnake! It was a beautiful snake, really calm and didnt try to bite...so we brought him into shore and released him...
Then about a month later, we were walking the limerock trail that leads to our spot, where you can get to it by land actually...and sure enough there is a smaller florida kingsnake, this one being about 5 feet stretched across the path...this one was also very calm and both were a joy to catch...
Those are the only two ive seen...and if you think about it, it makes sense...as i have seen more wild rodents around marshy habitats than anywhere else...so i would try looking around those types of areas....Good Luck, I hope you find your kingsnake...im sure it will be one of your favorites!

Find water...every Florida King I have ever caught has been on a canal or creek bank...i have never caught or seen a wild Eastern...that is one I would love to catch...anybody in North Florida got a place they want to share...PM or just post it...I am in Miami and there is no way I could hit your place on a regular basis.

Any advice on finding these guys before I die?
I know, trash piles and all that but trust me I have looked. Something has to give!!!

Kings are actually common in their prefered habitat.
Ponds and streams that are overgrown around the edges with tall grasses and brush are prime King habitat.
Look around these areas and you will see you first wild Kingsnakes.
