    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.....

    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....

Hi everyone,
I haven't posted for awhile so I don't remember who posts in the kingsnake group. I am trying to locate a person with vast knowledge on kingsnake taxonomy. I believe that I may have found a variation of the scarlet kingsnake. The snake is 32", 5" longer than the record for a scarlet. Body a little thicker than other scarlets that I have seen or found. Same exact markings but with one exception. Locacted half way between the head and tail, two of the yellow rings join each other, forming a circle on top of it's back. The rest of the rings are normal. Is it possible that the size, and the slight variation of the two rings are related? Or could it be a coincidence. It is still wonderful that I found such a beautiful snake.
My last snake I captured was only 6". I gave her to my vet. His specialty is herpatology. I am not going to release it because the pine forsest is being harvested. Not good for Kingsnakes. I would like to get an opinion from an expert in this field. Maybe a zoo would want her if she is rare a subspecies. Even if it is not it is a spectacular giant scarlet.
