    Thought I’d share-in the ‘70’s my brother and I used to find a lot of coral snakes around the Stone Mnt under granite rocks. These days they’re so rare and I doubt there is a single one around Stone Mountain. I’d feel better to see more care where/how you put your finger tips in the strike zones but I really enjoy your videos. They bring back a lot of memories. :)

How big would you say that rat was? I know what you estimated it to be before you picked it up, but what did you think once you had it in hand? I am so so happy for you about the coral snake.

    Fantastic herping adventure. I've never heard someone refer to the black part of a kingsnake as its "bands" before. Also never seen a king with triangular markings of any kind, almost like the sides of a banded water snake. If that juv. grows up to have reduced or absent bands across the back it would be incredible looking (although it already is).
