Many times on walks I will see snakes!! Most are non-poisonous, but there are times I will see a poisonous one! This one is non-poisonous and is the King snake! At the time I was taking the photo's I wasn't sure as to which he was. Lol I am not one to go picking them up anyway!!! He looks a lot like the Coral snake which has the same colors, but IS poisonous. You have to remember the rhyme - "red touch black friend of jack", this is the king snake. "Red next to yellow kills a fellow", and this is the Coral snake!!! I found this King snake going up a palm tree. At this point he pause to look at me, and then made his way all the way up the tree and out of sight.
Hi my name is Marvin Spates, and I am a fine art photographer. I love shooting landscape and nature photos. I am a resident of the Tampa Bay area. No matter if you are a collector looking for art, or a fellow artist!!! I recommend you read my descriptions on each photo. This way you can connect with the way I was feeling, thinking, or see what I was enduring as I shot each photo!! We have fantastic sunsets and sunrises no matter what time of the year in my area.

I found out today that most poisonous snakes have a pupil that resembles a cat's; an oblong shape with peaked ends, like a slit in the center of the eye. Non-venomous snakes usually have round pupils. However, the coral snake, a very venomous snake, has round pupils. I do not think I would ever get close enough to see his eyes! Great capture Marvin and for the reminder of the rhyme!

Marvin, I lived in Ft Myers back in the 70`s building bridges along 95...I saw as many snakes in Florida as I did over seas. You certainly have your share. I`ll let you put the gold medal on this bad boy. Beautiful work bro l.v.f.
