I've wanted for quite a while to get some pictures of a snake in the wild, but have yet to encounter one in the years I've been pursuing photography. Which reminds me of one of my earliest outings with my K-x. I was out driving on a local game refuge hoping to find a snake to shoot among all

The coloring isn't really that much like a Coral snake, and there are no Coral snakes in New England so that's probably not a factor. This particular species is probably not related to the King Coral Snake. This one is immature, it he survives the winter the red well become a more yellow
