K is for Killer Kingsnake (+ 10 more inset images!)
+ 10 more inset images above in notes! :)
"Killer" is also slang for "cool", which is what this stunning, beautiful, gentle and non-venomous snake is!
I found this amazing California Mountain Kingsnake on our property 1.5 years ago and when I discovered that this reclusive species is actually quite common in this area, we decided it would be ok to keep him as a pet. Affectionately named "Snakey McSnakerton", he's doing great and growing larger with each passing month. When I found him (we don't actually know the gender, but call it a male!), Snakey was about 10" long, and is now about 16".
There are about 45 species of Kingsnakes, which also include Milksnakes. They come in a large number of colors from solid black to almost white, with a dizzying variety of patterns. In fact, some species, such as this one, mimic the highly venomous coral snake, which only lives in the southern States. (NEVER approach a snake unless you are SURE it's harmless!) Kingsnakes are among the most popular pet snakes due to their docile, friendly dispositions and ease of care. In the wild, they are secretive, usually moving about during the day, and eat rodents, reptiles and birds.

We also have the European Viper, venomous but unless you are allergic a bite is no worse than a Hornet sting
Generally most snakes leave when they feel vibration in the ground from walking except for ones like the "Habu" Okinawa Pit Viper and similar that are very aggressive.
Very beautiful.
The picture I made was in a zoo.
We don't have many snakes here in Belgium, only smal vipers.
Greetings John.
