Young adult Barbour’s Map Turtle Back around 1960-something or the other, Patti and I used to take roadtrips much more frequently than we do today.

Typical eastern (chain) kingsnake from the FL-GA state line. Well, firstly, if you are inclined to listen to the geneticists, the Florida Kingsnake, Lampropeltis getula floridana has become a nonentity, a snake having no special or interesting qualities.
