The Speckled Kingsnake is my current favorite snake.
We just found one on our land, and since I hadn't featured it yet in my Wild-man's Wild Friends Video Series I figured I had better. Part of making my posts includes capturing my own images, so for a video post like that I get to photograph the creature as well. However, with only a few images being used in the posts for that series, I wound up with a lot that I will not be using.
But, I really like this snake, and these photos, so I figured that I would make a photo post first while I work on putting out my video. Not only is this one really cool looking snake, this particular one was both found on our land and released back on our property. For us, these are welcome creatures to have on the homestead! While you await my educational video featuring the Speckled Kingsnake, you can enjoy these photos!
MY FAVORITE KIND OF SNAKE!

Good shots! Having a favourite snake sounds really weird to me, but I'm beginning to understand. It's a beautiful animal, though in a scary way.
I know! How can someone choose just one? There are so many wonderful options out there, I had a hard time making the choice and choosing a favorite, so I know what you mean. You must just like them all, huh, @ocrdu?
Not exactly what I meant; it sounded to me like having a favourite murderer, but I'm slowly coming around. Very slowly and from a safe distance 8-).
LOL!
Honestly I say @papa-pepper is very brave and able to take phothography about snakes permit me resteem @papa-pepper and please check
Cute one....:)...
It looks just a litte bit agitated. That or it wants photo royalties from Steemit! As a non-venomous snake, I can understand why you look at it as a welcome guest on your property.
Yeah, nonvenomous are much safer for the kids.
It looks very amazing, you are really brave. If this type of snake is dangerous
I'm so scared of snakes, how were you able to carry it. Well nice shots

This is awesome and the father of danger
The snake is ugly and I'm scared
hey @ papa-pepper beautiful pic you have captured.. thanks you for sharing with us ... keep updating..
Nice post @papa-pepper, did you enjoy your few days away? bet the kids loved the zoo.
I was clearing down a bit of land outside our house and came across an adder, these are the UK's only poisonous snake. I wasn't best impressed when I picked it up thinking it was a stick. haha
Needless to say, I popped him down very quickly and he slivered a way, now my wife won't go on that bit of land, he he
Did you get a photo of it? I'd be interested in a look.
No, but I have seen another one this morning and one of the neighbours said to me that they are really common where we are as we are close to a river and we have fields around us. apparently, they like to bask in the sun.
When I see another I pop it in the comments on one of your posts so you get to see it. :)
papa-pepper is a snake that is very beracn why @ papa dare to hold it, I most afraid of snake.
Is it not poisonous? Because of how dangerous the snakes we have here are (almost all of them are poisonous), I have developed some level of fear and hatred for snakes. When I was a kid, my dad had a bad experience with one. It wasn't funny, he almost died, the leg got swollen so bad he couldn't wear a shoe for three months.
So, when I see guys play and hold snake the way you do, it gives me the bump.
nice picture @papa-pepper but I am most amused with snake,
Good photograph
Whats the name of this snake? It looks dangerous. Lol.
Anyway, your photograph is really stunning, you've got a good talent.... Going through your posts everyday inspires me. Thanks for sharing @papa-pepper
The images of the snake looks nice but i want to know the specie of the snake. Is the snake a poisonous one because the way you are holding it scares me
@papa-pepper the prove here is more than real. You are always the gee
I love most the body of the snake, but dont like snakes.

Hello @papa-pepper what's my friend????
Good shots. From my childhood I am really scared about snakes. But here you looks so cute...
You captured this so beautifully Papa. Absolutely spot on. The opening of the mouth and the reactions. That part where it stares directly into the camera got me a little...hahaha. You interests surprises me Papa. Hahaha
WOW my biggest fear snakes are. Is this snake poisonous? doest look too deadly? sort of looks like its from the python family.
such interesting and cool animals but also very fucken scary !!!
Here start summer... and I try find soon too a one big snake :))
All of the photos are amazing taken of this amazing creature! The last one with the open mouth is the kicker. We have snakes for you to photograph and handle if you make a PH Steemit visit!
You are very brave @ papa-pepper. In the area where I live there is also a community of snakes. I only dare take photos only
In Nigeria, certain people eat snakes, majority run away from it!
Wow. Awesome photo shots at such a close range. @papa-pepper in the part of the world i come from, i am so sure anyone who finds such a snake in his farmland will ensure it is killed. I so envy your outlook to things.
He is a gorgeous snake. I love the spots. Each and every one of those scales is unique! No two are exactly the same. He even looks like he might be smiling at you in the photos...except the last one. Looks like he wanted to go.
Very attractive markings given to it by nature.
Cool! :D I LOVE snakes!
Man those are some good shots of the snake! That one seems friendly enough. I'm still uneasy about your water moccasin plan. lol
Hey pepper ...
Dont go in too close...
Ismt it venomous?
We need you here on steemit ... ON A DAILY 😊😊
