Banded King Snake

DO NOT TAKE ME TO ANY CACHE THAT I WILL NOT MOVE ON, I LIKE WARMER CLIMATES THAN CANADA. There is no particular mission for this guy since they are commonly found over most of the USA so just keep him going educating people that they should not kill all snakes. These guys eat the bad snakes. Please do not put in a cache that is not visited at least once a month. Happy hunting!
