Field Notes

Royal Surprise


Prairie King Snake
Lampropeltis calligaster callogaster


Date: June 21
Time: 8:32 AM
Location: 4.5 miles northeast of FM 2706 at Hwy 287, Anderson County, TX
Site: In a grassy field surrounded by a hardwood forest
Weather: Partly cloudy skies, wind 5 mph SE
Temperature: 82o F
Notes: After walking out of the woods into a clearing filled with fragrant wildflowers, a Prairie King Snake was encountered as it was out on an early morning hunt. This was the first one of its kind to be discovered by us here even though we had spent many hours exploring this area over the course of more than a couple dozen times in the years prior. What a pleasant surprise.
