Yeah, its a toss up between this and the larger one you found that had a mostly brown belly.

Rally Ross?? Thanks, but I think there are better ones. Though as you know I love the "Chainsaw" look on some of them.

My favorite out of all your Newports. Very nice side pattern on this snake.

Thank you sir... Kings can be found in decent numbers through the winter, in certain areas, and habitats if one knows the right conditions... Other areas are extremely tough to impossible in the winter..
