I saw a beautiful black and yellow road-killed snake on my way home (by bike) from work last week.  I don't know what it was--it had a diamond back - like pattern, but was black and yellow, not rattle.  If my wife didn't hate snakes so much, I would have gone back and skinned it and traded to someone.  the next day it was gone.  Crows must have got it.  shame.

JoJo, that one came from the Alexacarri Plantation in Georgia. We don't have Timber Rattlers in Fl. Can't wait to see your bow finished.
Lakeland, Florida
 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Oil and sand, oil and sand. LOL. I need to put a new handle wrap on it, I don't know if I like it!

  We got them up in North Florida  ;) copperheads too but down on the peninsula you're right.  We ain't got none.
Florida to Kwajalein to Turkey and back in Florida again.  Good to be home but man was that an adventure!

What is your favorite Herp Tim? I really like Terrapins, Alligator snappers may be my favorite. I have Red eared sliders and an African Side Neck.

Aww, I couldn't choose a favorite.  I really like chameleons though.  They're just so incredibly unique and the species are so variable from two foot parson's to the tiny brookesia.  Of course I think our real secretive snakes around here like mud snakes and coral snakes are pretty sweet.  It's amazing that a snake that spends the vast majority of its live hidden away can be so colorful.
