It’s not everyday you see a Sonoran Mountain Kingsnake, and as it was, we almost didn’t. I actually walked by it, but biologist, Ted Fleming, spotted it. The conditions were cloudy and dark along the ground, which made for depth of field problems. But, the bright colors got Ted’s attention and I quickly tried to photograph this beauty. You can see, the results were blurrier. The snake was on the slop-side of the trail, making it very difficult to maneuver for a better angle — plus, there was plenty of ground cover. For now, at least, this is my best and only Sonoran Mountain Kingsnake photos.
