Near my home in St. Francois County, Missouri
there is a small mountain sitting on the edge of the ancient St. Francois Mountains. This area holds
a good population of red milk snakes. I try and hike up this mountain at least
once every spring to turn rocks on its glade rich south and southwestern slopes. This spring I was in good company with Ryan
Thies.
Quite a few milk snakes were found throughout
the day but, only a few were photographed.

Same snake a little closer

The last milk of the day was the nicest
looking but unfortunately it was getting too dark to make any good photos of it
