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.

In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them.

Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.
Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."
Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

Addendum: 01/10/2026
=====================
Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....
Need advice on King Snakes in N. Florida
- Thread starter Kingetula
- Start date
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.

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.
