The adult Florida Kingsnake Lampropeltis getula floridana reaches a length of 35 to 50 inches. The longest specimens can reach a length of almost 70 inches.
They have a lot of yellowish cross bands and black ones as well. The Florida King Snake is not venomous and bites only very seldom. It is most active during night and not very often encountered by humans.It feeds on a lot of different types of animals; rodents and sometimes even other snakes. They do however like lizards and frogs as well and they even feed on their own eggs and kinds from time to time. They are immune to rattlesnake venom and have no problems in eating newborn or small rattlesnakes.
Welcome to Watch For Snakes #1, this great series was originally placed by FLmassage1 in 2008 sadly he is no longer playing so I decided to keep this great series alive by adopting them and making a few changes from his original hides.
You are about to embark on a 12.1 miles journey through the wonderful Florida Everglades which will give you 10 great hides on key spots of this trail.
I will strongly recommend you to do this great journey on bike, but for the most extreme geocachers it will be a great hike as well.
ON December 31 of 2010 a group of 9 geocachers and three geo k9 decided to help me fix and replace this whole series at one shot. Needless to say it was an amazing way to close a caching year!
