I am fearless, because I've been afraid.

This is the last milk snake that I captured, Kyle. The color on this one was fairly muted--I've seen them brighter.

Im gonna say it looked much more like this as far as brightness.

I was bitten in the ankle by a snake at the Morganville Falls when I was a teenager. The people with me at the time said it was a milk snake. All I remember about that snake was that it hurt and I ran. I think I must have stepped on it while climbing down the gorge.
To become truly immortal, a work of art must escape all human limits: logic and common sense will only interfere. But once these barriers are broken, it will enter the realms of childhood visions and dreams.

Yuck, I was hoping for far fewer snake stories...I will often bang my tripod on the ground as I walk to help let the snakes know I am coming....I have been fortunate so far.
Cucumber Falls in Ohiopyle State Park is famous for copperheads.
Snakes are one reason I really enjoy winter photography.

Kyle, that's a beautiful kingsnake! Unless it was an escapee though, you wouldn't find it in NY. (Note the black bands adjacent to the red bands, thus the children's rhyme.)

That's not a milk snake? I googled milk snake and got that image and had a dozen+ more images that looked the same.

They are from the same genus, Lampropeltis. The snake in my photo, is an eastern milk snake. Your photo could well be a species of milk snake, but I don't think that it's one that is native to our area. When I see that snake, I automatically think king snake. Here's a good page: Lampropeltis
