Well said! I especially like having the speckled kings around. Not only are they cool-looking, but they eat venomous snakes too, along with the usual stuff like rodents, etc. I've seen a speckled king in my yard once or twice, but I don't think he hung around. Bummer.I can't see why people want to kill harmless snakes. No chance of harm to you, your family or pets, plus free rodent control. I saw 5 snakes within 3 hours at my house this afternoon and let them all live. 2 water snakes (one was amusing to watch trying to catch the minnows floundering in what water was left in the ditch), 2 garters and 1 speckled kingsnake.

Awesome! Good on ya for saving a speckled kingsnake.Saw the kitties gathering around something this afternoon.
This little guy seemed happy to see me.
After I played with him for awhile, I took him for a walk to the woods.
He was very friendly.
