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.

Rare Find in Central FL
Well I have found one alive!
Over the past few years a few DOR but this year got lucky.
One of the most majestic snakes in the area, very secretive for such a large animal. Nice 5 ft+ female released to hopefully breed this year.
Enjoy...mike

Nice!
I've seen a few pines up here in north Florida but they absolutely did NOT care for human beings at all. I saw a rather large one crossing the road near my house while I was driving home from work. Just saw the back end easing off the road into the bushes. I stopped the truck and as soon as I had opened the door, I heard it hissing to beat hell already. I just walked over to take a look at the big piney at the ready to defend itself to the death, then got back in the truck and continued on home.
The ones up here that I have seen seem to be darker colored than the one in your pic.

Great find.. the last one I encountered was eating the chicks of a person whom I was petsitting for I took her home getting ready to relocate her to a State Park and she ended up laying 19 eggs for me! I ended up hatching out the eggs and all survived.. I released mom and the babies into the park and my backyard and still see a few occasionally but they sure don't like humans!

That has got to be one of the nicest finds I've seen in a long time. I was on my way to one of my fishing spots a few days ago and there was a nice E. g. guttata laying in the middle of the dirt road I was on. It had stopped and done the little 'I am a stick' freeze, which probably would have gotten either it's head or tail ran over if I hadn't been thinking about slowing down and doing a little road hunting in the early morning sun. It's about a 3-footer, and I am leaning towards a male, although I haven't probed it yet. At first, I was going to just put it off the road, but after I looked it over a bit and could not find a single flaw in it's pattern, I decided it was time to move my male D. c. corais out of his 55-gal and into a 75, and let this little corn snake have the 55. I usually don't get excited over corn snakes, but this little one ate a fresh-killed mouse out of my hand as soon as I got it home, and never offered to defend itself other than a little musk and tail shake now and then.
