Newest Find (Speckled King)

I found this little guy in the yard while I was taking a break from cleaning Ball Pythons. Monica spotted him coming from the pond headed towards the porch. He tried to shake his tail, but apperently was missing half of it. He also had a bite mark about halfway down his body. It looked to be an old wound and nearly healed. He had a very calm temperment and only hissed once, never did strike, but musked everywhere. Speckled King (lampropeltis getula holbrooki).
