RE: My first Speckled King Snake of 2018. YAY!!!
I'm certainly going to try 3 for 3! It feels great to finally find some snakes. This beauty I will be entering in @papa-pepper's contest but it will have to wait till next week for I've already entered this weeks contest.
I don't know for sure about there being a mate nearby. I want to say yes because Papa Pepper had a great Speckled King Snake post awhile back of two Speckled Kingsnakes he found. So I believe you might be right.
I've typically found garter snakes in multiples as well, but I think that is because of their nesting habits.
Garter Snakes mate in orgies so it is common to find a bunch of them. I know I sure did 5 years ago living in Portland. That was the most snakes I ever caught in one day. I must have caught over 20 of them before my sack was full that I was keeping them in when I made that video.
