K is for Killer Kingsnake (+ 10 more inset images!)
+ 10 more inset images above in notes! :)
"Killer" is also slang for "cool", which is what this stunning, beautiful, gentle and non-venomous snake is!
I found this amazing California Mountain Kingsnake on our property 1.5 years ago and when I discovered that this reclusive species is actually quite common in this area, we decided it would be ok to keep him as a pet. Affectionately named "Snakey McSnakerton", he's doing great and growing larger with each passing month. When I found him (we don't actually know the gender, but call it a male!), Snakey was about 10" long, and is now about 16".
There are about 45 species of Kingsnakes, which also include Milksnakes. They come in a large number of colors from solid black to almost white, with a dizzying variety of patterns. In fact, some species, such as this one, mimic the highly venomous coral snake, which only lives in the southern States. (NEVER approach a snake unless you are SURE it's harmless!) Kingsnakes are among the most popular pet snakes due to their docile, friendly dispositions and ease of care. In the wild, they are secretive, usually moving about during the day, and eat rodents, reptiles and birds.
If you would like to know more about Kingsnakes, Wiki has a nice page here: Wiki: Kingsnake

J'ai tellement aimé voir toutes tes photos si belles !!!!
Continue de nous émerveiller et Joyeuses Pâques !
Je t'invite à rejoindre le groupe (La Maison du Bonheur) pour y placer tes belles photos dès leur parution.
(I´m laughing with his name and gender)
Such an amazing capture!
Wishing you and your family a wonderful Easter. (don´t forget to give Snakey a little chocolate egg)

Hover Fly pretend to be Wasps, a well know example.
(like the info too)
Janet Brien club has replied to Eunice Perkins clubMagistral Janet ... superb series
Good Sunday.
Sadly we have the venomous Copperheads here.. who bite first and and far from nice. The Pygmy Rattlers at least warn and tend to sneak off and leave you alone
superb series, thanks for sharing !

PS..I hope Pumpkin is not scared of him...You don't let them get too close to each other, do you?
Les notes sont superbes !
Bonne soirée Janet !
We also have the European Viper, venomous but unless you are allergic a bite is no worse than a Hornet sting
Generally most snakes leave when they feel vibration in the ground from walking except for ones like the "Habu" Okinawa Pit Viper and similar that are very aggressive.
Very beautiful.
The picture I made was in a zoo.
We don't have many snakes here in Belgium, only smal vipers.
Greetings John.
