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.

I use to catch Kingsnakes down by Lake Okeechobe. They are in and around all of the sugar cane fields. Good luck.

I've caught snakes since I was 10 growing up in Loxahatchee (west Palm Beach County). I've only ever seen/caught 1 Florida king... Seen/caught just about all the others, and lots of exotics around Hillsboro!
have you had any luck searching?

i used to live in margate and would go to the end of lox road( the boarder between broward and west palm beach). out there i have caught about 15-20 fla kings. more yellow and red rats than anything tho. the coolest snakes i have caught there were eastern mud snakes scarlet kings and about 100 corals. on average i would go out for about 3 hours a night and find about 5-6 snakes and about 200 treefrogs. the mosquitos suck bad out there.

Here in Central Florida, it is a once in a blue moon thing to find a kind of true kingsnakes, but i catch mostly scarlet kings. But i have a wild caught Florida King from South Florida. Your best look for catching a (Lampropeltis getula floridiania) is to go South Florida like the everglades. They prefer the sugar cane fields, and places by swamps.
