A speckled king snake cozied up in a rotting log in a hugelculture bed in my garden.

A black snake with very small pale yellow to white speckles. The snake is nestled in a small open space in a log.

@Denny shudder I know they do worlds of good but that old primate fear always kicks in …

@jabel Yeah, it seems many people have a high level of fear with snakes. As much as I've come to appreciate and love them I still sometimes have just a moment upon seeing one, an instinctual reaction that causes just a glimpse of fear. It's as though the brain counters itself, the instinctual hardwiring countered and over-ruled by the rational understanding.
