An awesome find

I was in the large field behind my house hunting for dove but I found something ten times better, just not edible. I was creeping slowly towards a dove to get in shooting distance when out from under my feet this beauty pops up. Its the nicest speckled kingsnake ive seen in a while and its in perfect condition. I only had to endure one bite from it... hehe. I really wanna keep it, but I know that probably won't work, so i'll be putting it back in the middle of the field where I found it. I would have let it go tonight but its thundering and lightning out and standing in the middle of a field isn't the smartest thing in the world during a lightning storm.













hope you guys like the piccys its a really docile snake when it realizes your not gonna eat it.
