I think you will be okay, Jocelyne. You can see in the movie that the snake doesn't move quickly.

Dead slow would still be to fast for me Ronald, I am glad you were able to take pictures of these as we don't get a chance to see many snakes of any description on IP.

Thanks, Maurice. Snakes have a way of looking like they are lying still when they are actually moving quite quickly.

I haven't seen a king snake in decades. I admired them, as a child. Lovely shot.

It was on the roof about 2 meters from the copperhead. They were hiding under a sheet of plastic that I removed.
